Yes and they are making seem more urgent/desperate because she has run out of her diabetes meds. I’m sure there are a lot of people struggling to deal with government processes each day, this isn’t really news. It all seems to come down to a button on a web page not working as expected.

If she’s not a Canadian citizen yet, then she would had to fly using her British passport, there’s no mention of that being stolen, I’m sure that means she can fly back to Canada. If she can’t for some reason, then the meds issue is easily resolved in Britain.

You should also be aware that:

1. as a uk citizen she can have dual citizenship with Canada
2. she does consider Canada her home
3. she’s a uk citizen in the uk with a national health service (a slightly more comprehensive health service than Canada as prescription meds are heavily subsidized), any hospital or family doctor would have helped her for free.

I do sympathize for her situation, having anything stolen is bad enough without it happening in a foreign country. But I don’t understand why this is a dire enough story to make it newsworthy. A British citizen, in Britain ran out of meds.

Gas prices in my area have shot up by about 10c/ltr, just so that when the carbon tax is removed, the price will remain high.

Who is going into that location to buy a car in these circumstances. That line of police is just as effective as any vandalism.
