Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole is accusing the Liberal government of making a sloppy and half-hearted attempt to resettle Afghan interpreters who worked alongside the Canadian military. "To our Afghanistan veterans, this is a critical loose end from that war that we need to address," O'Toole said today. Conservative Party of Canada leader Erin O'Toole said the government is only moving to resettle Afghan interpreters and their families because of pressure from veterans. Some have reported being spurned by the Canadian embassy in Kabul when asking for help. The U.S. meanwhile, is conducting its own mission to resettle Afghans who assisted the U.S. military during the war.
