OTTAWA — Global Affairs Canada began booking blocks of seats on the few remaining commercial flights leaving Lebanon on Friday as it issued another urgent plea for any Canadians in the country to leave immediately.
“Canadians need to leave now and we are helping with that,” Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said in a statement on X late Friday afternoon.
“Canada has secured seats for Canadians on the limited commercial flights available. If a seat is available, please take it.”
Passengers will pay for the flights themselves, but Joly said loans are available for those who need financial assistance.
Joly and Defence Minister Bill Blair have been asking Canadians in Lebanon to leave for months as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah escalates.
On Thursday, Blair said there were still many commercial flight options available, but by Friday those were quickly filling up.
Global Affairs Canada is taking the step of pre-booking seats to try to help as many Canadians as possible. The flights could be going to any destination, and passengers would be responsible for finding their own way to Canada.
Joly said earlier this week it’s believed about 45,000 Canadians were in Lebanon, even though only about half that number have registered officially with the embassy in Beirut.
Canadians in Lebanon are asked to use the email me-mo.sos↕international.gc.ca to get information and secure one of the available seats.
Joly said Canadians should register with the embassy in Beirut and say they want help leaving Lebanon.
The federal government and the military have been working on plans for a possible evacuation of Canadian citizens from Lebanon for months, but the government is urging people to leave on their own before that is needed.
Airlines have begun cancelling flights after an escalation of airstrikes by the Israeli military. Lebanon’s health ministry said Friday more than 720 people have been killed in the last week in airstrikes that Israel said are targeting Hezbollah’s military capabilities to stop its airstrikes into northern Israel.
The most powerful strikes yet destroyed six buildings in suburban Beirut on Friday as the Israeli military said it struck the central headquarters of Hezbollah.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short a visit to the United Nations and flew back to Israel after vowing before the General Assembly that Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah would continue despite calls for a ceasefire from allies including the United States and Canada.
All G7 nations, along with Australia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates jointly asked Israel and Hezbollah for a 21-day ceasefire to allow for a diplomatic solution to the war.
Joly said she spoke with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati Friday and that “there must be no war” in Lebanon.
“Civilians must be protected and we need an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.”

Canada is booking blocks of seats on some commercial flights leaving Lebanon to help Canadians who are trying to flee Israeli strikes
May this woman's death be a wake up call to you and others like you, Ron, who think all Palestinians in Gaza are Hamas.
And prove that just because we're against Israel, doesn't mean we're pro Hamas. Because what they did here was as horrific as everything else they do.
Also, for this comic... fuck off to the person who did it.
Why wouldn't they? Ever heard of dispersal? And we know the fuckers also use mosques as weapon and ammo dumps as well. That's why they get all pissy about bombing them. Got fuck all to do with being holy.
Ever been to Switzerland? Go walking through the countryside and you see all these "farm" and "homestead" type buildings dotted about. But some of them hold nasty surprises for invaders. Yet for all intents and purposes, they look like perfectly normal civilian structures.
And not all Israelis support their current govt but Hamas didn't give a shit about who they killed on Oct.7 did they.
Sadly, this is the kind of shit that will happen though when Hamas constantly shields themselves with civilians. They are cowardly vermin who are willing to martyr the Palestinian people just to make Israel look like the bad guy.
Ooo and I got the free space covered too. Just need Ali Khamenei and I'll have a Bingo.
Thats a farce the Jew Klux Klan Zionist supremacists spits out to justify murdering. If you arent Jewish you just a part of nature that needs to be removed like a stone in the roadway, a weed in the garden or a stray dog. Its no secret, that just the way it is its their doctrine. Look it up for fuck sakes.
You can't be one without being the other. Either you support Israel, or you support terrorism.
Layoff the Holocaust lavoured Kool-Aid. Human shields according to reailty or the Jew Klux Klan who doesnt consider even you as human?
Russia claimed the same fucking thing in Mariupol and then all over Ukraine to this day. Kharkiv and Kherson schools hospitals and public facilities are still being bombed. 2 weeks ago it was a seniors infirmary with bed ridden disabled in Sumy.
Amid all the horrors that have unfolded in the war on Ukraine, the Russian bombing of the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama Theater in Mariupol on March 16 stands out as the single deadliest known attack against civilians to date. An Associated Press investigation has found evidence that the attack was in fact far deadlier than estimated, killing closer to 600 people inside and outside the building. That’s almost double the death toll cited so far, and many survivors put the number even higher.
The AP investigation recreated what happened inside the theater on that day from the accounts of 23 survivors, rescuers, and people intimately familiar with its new life as a bomb shelter. The AP also drew on two sets of floor plans of the theater, photos and video taken inside before, during and after that day and feedback from experts who reviewed the methodology.
With communications severed, people coming and going constantly, and memories blurred by trauma, an exact toll is impossible to determine. The government estimated early on that about 300 people died and has since opened a war crimes investigation, according to a document obtained by the AP.
AP journalists arrived at a much higher number through the reconstruction of a 3D model of the building’s floorplan reviewed repeatedly by direct witnesses, most from within the theater, who described in detail where people were.
On 9 March 2022, the Russian Air Force bombed Maternity Hospital No 3, a hospital complex functioning both as a children's hospital and maternity ward in Mariupol, Ukraine,[1] during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, killing at least four people and injuring at least sixteen, and leading to at least one stillbirt
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy,[3] Josep Borrell, the European Union head of Foreign Affairs,[2] and British armed forces minister James Heappey[4] described the bombing as a war crime. On 10 March, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defence claimed that bombing of the hospital was justified by the supposed presence of Ukrainian armed forces[5][6] at Mariupol Maternity Hospital No 1, as stated by Russian UN representative Vasily Nebenzya earlier, on 7 March.[1][7] Several media organizations dismissed the Russian claims as false.[8]
An OSCE report concluded the airstrike was a Russian war crime.
But not a war Holocaust crime for Holocaust Israel Holocaust not for Holocaust Russia.
Do you hear Ukraine saying Holodomor i3 for times in every news cast?
Why are all the public facilities in Kursk still intact? Because its a fucking war crime that will cost Ukraine western support, their EU and NATO bids. Israel Holocaust doesnt recognize Holocaust the Holocaust ICC so why would the Jew Klux Klan Holocaust give flying Holocaust fuck about civilans
Give your head a shake. Israel is a terrorist state. WTF is stopping you from learning about who you blindly support? Holocaust guilt? Willful ignorance? It wont kill uou to learn will it? Are you afraid of the shame of being lied to and used like the moron they think you are?

No. They think your moronic farm animal and not even a human. Shut your fucking hole aand do some goddam reading. You're proving yourself to be a moron.
If 2.3 billion Muzzies wanted Zionists (Israel) gone they'd have done it 128 years ago when Zionism first entered "The Holy Land" (Israel).
Islam truly is a peacedful Religion. Thats enough people to take out China and India at the same time let alone piddly assed Israel.

Analysis finds CBC reports wildly biased against Israel
B'nai Brith Canada looked at 150 stories and determined about half were openly pro-Palestinian, 32 were possibly pro-Israel, and the rest were balanced

CBC is unfair to the Jewish state – and now this newspaper has the proof.
The public broadcaster’s antipathy towards Israel is not news, of course.
As this writer has documented in recent weeks, CBC has adamantly refused to call Hamas terrorists what they are – terrorists; they have blithely accepted Israel-Hamas war casualty counts that come directly from Hamas; and they have established a secretive internal group, “Middle East 2023,” to oversee coverage of Israel.
While CBC has said the internal group includes a person or persons who are “of the Jewish faith or identifies as Jewish,” some Jewish CBC staff have told the newspaper they are feeling isolated and victimized.
Most recently, we’ve revealed that a member of their digital team wears a keffiyeh to work, and has posted online that Israel is “an oppressive, destructive” country and “you’re a vile human being if you still defend or excuse Israel.”
Meanwhile, Jewish CBC journalists have been obliged to attend sessions with “facilitators” who say they want to “challenge the status quo of Zionism,” who say Israel oversees “an immoral and oppressive occupation” – and one of whom has said he “wholeheartedly, unreservedly supports” MPP Sarah Jama, who has been sanctioned for anti-Semitic views in the provincial Legislature.
For the many who believed the taxpayer-subsidized broadcaster was unfair to Israel, rest assured: you were not imagining it. And now B’nai Brith Canada has provided us with convincing proof.
The Jewish human rights organization analyzed hundreds of published CBC stories starting on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists swept into Israel and slaughtered hundreds. They went to Dec. 31 and used the media framing model of Robert M. Entman, the award-winning American professor who has analyzed media bias for decades.
The bottom line, according to the analysis: the CBC is wildly biased against Israel.
Of 150 stories in the final analysis, about half were considered openly pro-Palestinian. Only a fraction of that, 32, were possibly pro-Israel. The remainder were considered “balanced.”
Some of the analysis was done with manual coding, and some with software-assisted content analysis. That hybrid approach is considered 95% accurate. “Bias” was determined by how issues were framed in an article, what was included and what was omitted, and how information was presented. Sources were key, too – for example, using Hamas as a source more than Israel (as the CBC regularly does).
Every effort was made by B’nai Brith’s analysts to “maintain objectivity and fairness throughout.”
B’nai Brith’s Director of Research and Advocacy Rich Robertson had this to say about the results: “CBC isn’t just failing at balanced journalism – they’re failing Canadians, especially Jewish Canadians. By skewing the facts of the Israel-Hamas conflict, they’re fuelling antisemitism, putting communities at risk, and giving credibility to a listed terror entity.”
He added: “When CBC distorts the reality of the Israel-Hamas conflict, it’s a betrayal of their duty as a public broadcaster. Canadians deserve accurate reporting, not narratives that stoke division and give credence to terrorists.”
In their study, B’nai Brith went through scores of stories published on CBC’s websites. Some of the headlines they looked at speak for themselves: “Food will run out in days under Israel’s total blockade of Gaza, humanitarian experts warn” (which didn’t happen), or “Palestinians say hundreds killed in Israeli airstrike on hospital;” (which didn’t happen either – Islamic Jihad did it, and the hospital is still standing).
The study’s results aren’t the only thing that is disturbing. When B’nai Brith genially offered to share its results with the broadcaster, CBC refused to meet with them.
This writer contacted CBC chief spokesperson Chuck Thompson about that.
“Given the ongoing scrutiny and intense pressure around our coverage of the Middle East, requests for conversations with CBC News leadership make it difficult to ensure they are equally accessible to any person or group of people who wish to provide feedback,” Thompson told this newspaper, which is the first publish the startling results.
If B’nai Brith has “any comments or complaints about our coverage,” Thompson sniffed, they can take it up with CBC’s Ombudsman.
That’s not just discourteous and dismissive, it’s the wrong response.
When any journalist is making mistakes – as CTV did, this week, when it manipulated a quote of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre – there must be accountability. Not refusing to meet.
And, when this writer taught at Carleton’s School of Journalism, our students were told they always had two solemn obligations: accuracy and fairness.
At CBC, when Israel is the subject, accuracy and fairness no longer seem to be part of the job description.

KINSELLA: Analysis finds CBC reports wildly biased against Israel
CBC is unfair to the Jewish state – and now this newspaper has the proof.
You try typing on a fucking phone with blurry vision and fingers that dont fing during a fucking MS flair up you Monais ass licker.
Are phones not the portal that kicked off a massive spike in porn addiction?
I thought that was PCs.
The current wave, that is. Sex and porn have been a subject of endless fascination since the first time Ogg painted a dick on a cave wall.
Cave paintings never had Annabel Chong being gang banged by 251 guys in 10 hours.
The production that propelled her into the limelight was another Bone production, The World's Biggest Gang Bang. Quek took part in this gang bang on January 19, 1995, when she was 22 years old. She said part of her motivation to do the film was a desire to challenge gender roles.[citation needed] She appeared in advertisements on adult television to solicit 300 participants for the event. Initial reports differed as to whether she had sex with 251 men over the course of 10 hours, or with around 70 men multiple times to reach a total of 251: the largest number ever in a pornographic film. Acting on the understanding that male participants who had verified a recent negative test for HIV would wear a colour-coded tag, Quek had sex with some men without a condom. It later emerged that the testing had not been as strictly verified as the producers had led her to believe.[2][8] Even though the film became one of the highest-grossing pornographic films of all time, she was never paid the US$10,000 she was promised, and she apparently never received any money from the video.[1][8]
