The government should not be giving refugees money. Instead, let them in to fend for themselves:

This is how to do it.

That would be impossible for most, they don't speak the languages of Canada, their accreditation is un-verifiable. They cannot fend for themselves; its one thing to find for adults, but many of them have 4, 5 or 6 kids in tow. We need to help them for a few years to be fair.

You can help them all you want with your own money. The only thing my taxes should give them is visa-free access to the Canadian labour market. Beyond that, I give to charity. The food bank's down the street next to the homeless shelter. If you don't like that, Canada should be more than willing to buy you a one-way ticket back home. I think Svalbard's on to something.

If it works in Svalbard, why could it not work here? Honestly, I bet the quality of refugees in Svalbard is superior to that on the Norwegian mainland in spite of Svalbard's open-border policy. Why? Because they have to support themselves in Svalbard and don't get to enjoy any state benefits.

Yeh, at least they can do one thing: make babies
