"Nice country you've got there..."

..."be a shame if anything happened to it..."

In Brig.-Gen. Khaled Saber Abdelhamed Zahw’s case, visitor visas were issued after a senior official from the Department of National Defence in Ottawa wrote a letter to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

The letter said Zahw and his wife should be given visas to avoid upsetting Canada’s relationship with Egypt’s military.

Sounds like that "swamp" we've been hearing about.
