Refugees

[farmaholic]

Most of us are here because our forefathers wanted opportunity and a better life. Who here would uproot themselves for anything other? When the risk of leaving is less than the risk of staying the choice is easier to make.

Be thankful.

I am not that suspicious of some of these peoples intentions. But might be a bit naive. ...

who is going to pay for all these muslim refugees when they get here, and they will by the thousands and thousands. Most will be unemployable so will be on social programs. Health care costs and child care. Housing. The list goes on and on. This is a great way for them to get here and dodge the immigration process. A good friend of my wife is married to an American. He is educated and has good employment in the u.s. he has multiple job offers waiting here. Three goddamn years and he is almost in. These muslim refugees are so happy to get here they will do or say anything, a couple years down the road they will be taking the government to court over religious freedom crap because they want their old country lifestyle and ways to be carried on here with no regard for our Canadian culture. I feel for them but is there no middle east countries willing to take them.

Farmaholic, the pioneers integrated into our society no questions asked and pulled their own weight and built a country and communities. It seems now that's not the way. People come here and want their same beliefs as before.

Merry Christmas.......
Need I say more.

Also how many are extremeists. No one is being screened. Isis can set up shop anywhere with a refugee deal like this. How can you let 10s of thousands of people in from a terrorist region of the world and give no one background checks, who knows who you are letting in. And don't think that its not happening. these isis guys are no dummys.

You can always greet them at the airport with a hug and a warm glass of cocoa.

Pars - you are absolutely correct
Samhill - sadly that not a fear - it's a reality

You boys forgot where ISIS came from. They are the result of George W Bushes adventure in Iraq.

The war that Stevie thought we should be in( good thing Chrétien was in power)

The media hound Canadians to take on refugees. But the same Canadian media ignore the the neighbours of the refugees, who do nothing, even though the have a common language, religion, proximity, food and customs:

Refugees taken in by:
Saudi Arabia: 0
Qatar: 0
Kuwait: 0
Emirates: 0
Bahrain: 0

Ask yourself why. Pars.

Those countries are all Sunni and most of the refugees are Shia if there coming out of Syria.

Sounds like Russian boots are on the ground fighting there so grab the popcorn.

Caving to every minority interest group is our fault not theirs. Who made the ****ing laws? What happened in WWII with the European Jews? Many countries never took them as immigrants either.

Look, you're not going to get any arguments from me, assimilate or stay home. One of the first steps onto the slippery slope was the turban wearing RCMP. A CANADIAN icon and they allowed that? That was insane. Removing the crucifix from schools. Changing anthem lyrics. Morning prayer in places. Changing Christian greeting and holiday names...... like I said no argument from me.

Law changes to protect others "identity" all the while you lose yours.

Ask yourselves how accommodating are the other counties to your customs?
