Dear Canada: Maryam Monsef decided to make a plea directly to the Taliban - calling on them to allow safe passage to the airport. She's using the language that she, as an Afghan-Canadian, feels would be most effective. Can we do the politics and point-scoring later?

Dear Mark: imagine the sting of her words in the ears of our Cdn Forces veterans, who left behind friends, limbs, and pieces of their souls fighting the Taliban. To hear her call the Taliban "brothers", while her govt said veterans were asking for more than the Libs could give.

Trudeau's Liberals call anyone against carbon taxes "deniers", invoking the Holocaust. They ban conservative journalists from press conferences & banned a rival party from election debates. They threaten non-vaxxed people with "consequences". But the Taliban are their brothers.

The same Trudeau government that listed the Proud Boys as a terrorist group calls the Taliban "our brothers".

Justin Trudeau's Minister for Women & Gender Equality appeals for civilized behaviour from "Our brothers the Taliban". 158 Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. Thousands more returned home mentally or physically broken. The Taliban are not "our brothers", nor our family.
