The Harper Government was quick to issue aid and evacuation for Canadians in the midst of the extremely disconcerting situations in both Libya and Egypt.
The current situation in Japan, however, poses no threat to Canadians. According to a Foreign Affairs Representative, anyone wishing to return home in the wake of one of the greatest natural disasters Japan has ever seen, "...can do so by commercial means," (Claude Rochon, The Globe and Mail).
The official position of the Prime Minister regarding Canadian citizens and their safety stands as a no-risk zone.
"If people want to leave, they have that option," - Stephen Harper.
