Conservative candidate tweets photo falsely showing ISIS militant as refugee
Conservative candidate Peter Kent was forced to backpedal Tuesday, after sharing a photo over social media that mistakenly identifies a Syrian refugee as an Islamic State fighter.
In the tweet, which has been deleted, Kent called the “then and now” photos “chilling reminders why prudent/detailed refugee screening” is essential.
However, international reports, including the BBC, had already debunked the side-by-side photo after it made the rounds over social media.
According to the BBC, the man seen on the right side of the photo has been identified as a former Free Syrian Army commander originally from Aleppo.
Kent’s tweet was later deleted after Twitter users called out the candidate over social media.

Actually of the three leaders Harper has come off as being the least idiotic. Jr. has been an idiot from day one. Mulehair at times has enough smarts to restrain himself but he blew it all the day he said Harper caused the recession when no one was even sure we had one, not to mention one man can't start a recession anymore than one man can cause a tornado.
Yep, people who are prejudiced often get that way!
Lot of good it did to 'educate' you two. Bad money from the start to the end. Waste of time and skin in all three cases.
News flash, that is what 'the least experienced guy' is supposed to look like, the ones that are supposed to be the experienced ones are not any better.
In some cases the 'older ones' are much worse as their thinking is 18th century at best.
First one there gets the most.
Getting back to what taxslave wisely suggested the other day about keeping our noses out of foreign strife, why are we even considering bringing refugees here? We had a huge influx in here after Expo 86 which has been largely a disaster with gangs and crime. If you don't change your procedure you won't see different results.
With a full blown crisis on the ground from the Persian Sea to the Arctic it is good thing Israel is free to enforce an no-fly zone over all of the EU, minus the Muslim States as they do a 'restoration' that is more like time travel in that they move from the stone age into an age where they are designing the 'improvements' that need to be made to the 'test models'. No idea what that means other than a lot of people have a lot of money to spend, and none of it is for war machines. (UN Security Member Russia will be taking care of that for a few decades, right comrades)
I've acted like this around pricks for a lot longer than 14 years. Wonder how our stories would compare to the inmates at the Federal Prison in the NWT that was also as toxic. Stabbing over a game of 'Fish' would have to be topped as far as aggression levels go. How long would you last?
If we quit having our wars where they lived there would be no refugees, period. (but then they would own the oil)
About 15 million people from 5 different countries are the number of refugees in this post. Are you with me so far? The new host countries would need to build about 20 new cities. Question 1, do you add on to an existing one or build it out the boonies?
Feel free to elaborate. I know talking is what you're best at - being a legend in your own mind and all that stuff. Refugee status is denied more often than not - whether you like it or not
Probably a little of each and the new cities should be a reasonable distance from existing cities- 50 miles would tolerable. Like for instance it might not be necessary to have brain surgering facilities in every new city if it was available somewhere near by. Most of the answers depend on existing demographics. By the same token if an existing city had 5 openings for brain surgeons and five were being imported I would think it would make sense to locate them as close as possible to where they are needed.
Whereever there are no bombs will be home. If we stopped flattening their places there would be no problem.
I doubt if that would happen. The chosen few might just get a letter or phone call. The others may meet someone else's criteria.
I was thinking of the settlement- maybe 20 houses. I was there once, maybe twice. Didn't see a red carpet. L.O.L As I drove through I didn't see any of the denizens smiling at me so I turned around and left. I never saw a moose the entire 9 years I lived in Grand Forks.
