Canada preparing its troops for possible Lebanon evacuations: sources

The Canadian Armed Forces is changing its posture to the crisis in Lebanon and increasing troops in the region to give the government more flexibility — including the ability to move quickly if an evacuation of Canadian citizens is ordered, Global News has learned. Canada's plan has been ready for months, but on Wednesday night, troops received a warning order to be ready to leave Canada in 48 hours.
