‘Beirut is bleeding’: Lebanese-Canadian MPs express horror, disbelief in wake of massive explosion

'I’m sure with the will of the Lebanese and their friends from all over the world, Beirut will shine again,' says Liberal MP Fayçal El-Khoury.

Liberal MP Fayçal El-Khoury, left, Conservative MP Ziad Aboultaif, and former Liberal MP Eva Nassif say the massive explosion, which has left an estimated 300,000 homeless, is going to have a devastating toll on Lebanon's struggling economy.

OpinionBY JOHN WESTON
