Didn't take Justine too long to break his first promise.

That's what you get for voting for a former part-time drama teacher and snowboard instructor

No it didn't.

I feel there are going to be a lot of these threads over the next few years.

I understood that the arrival of the refugees is up in the air. Some experts are saying it's not possible to get them here so soon and others say yes, it is possible.
I expect Mr. Trudeau is getting his first taste of the enormity and impossibility of his job and he's not even PM yet!
If we have to take in 25,000 refugees, I hope they are the minorities that are in danger of being executed by ISIS and not just healthy, able bodied young men looking to get a head start on immigrating, or looking to impose Islam on us all.

For the good of the country one might think that healthy able-bodied young men and women would be a boon to our work force once they settle in - much rather that then having thousands on our social assistance programs, clogging up hospitals, crowding doctor's offices, etc, etc. etc.

Not when their only job skill is bomb making.

The extremists that were outfought by other extremists.

Apparently there's a dire shortage of nurses and doctors here. If we could just grab a few of those.....................

Able bodies young men and women are good candidates for Immigration, NOT refugees.
Refugees are people who are seeking safety from the threat of death.
