If a Canadian living abroad breaks the law and is convicted they are a criminal and must pay for their crimes with jail time or what have you. Canadians cannot travel the globe, break the law when it suits them and expect the government of whatever stripe to bail them out and bring them home. People need to take responsibility for their actions.
This notion that the Canadian government must drop everything it's currently working on and travel the globe to bring all these Canadians who broke the law in lands around the globe back to Canada is just insane. What else do we expect from the left wing?
These people who happen to be living or staying abroad would have no use of the Canadian government if they hadn't gotten caught doing something they shouldn't have been doing in the first place.
Canadians traveling abroad need to heed the laws and customs of the lands that they are visiting. Not every country is like Canada which will change its laws to suit everyone except Canadians. Some countries actually expect people to adapt to their countries laws and not the other way around like in Canada.
That being said there are of coarse exceptions to the rule where a Canadian is imprisoned unjustly and that must not be allowed to go on and then and only then should our government step in to investigate. However even then the government should proceed with restraint and diplomacy as Canada has no business telling another country how it should govern itself.
This notion by the left that every law breaking criminal who happens to get busted in another country should be rescued and brought back to Canada is absurd and laughable.
