What makes you think they were civilians? Could have been supporters since they were not lifting a finger to get the terrorists out of the hood.
Oh right they were packing signs in english saying they were civilians.

You really are a Class 'A' fuktard through and through. Hoe about some shadows were 6ft long and most were 3ft long.

Guess how fast the whole country would become a no fly away zone for NATO. If we a war to survive we should have our own civil one. You know, like everybody else in the world. We should be doing the bolded part above also.

Moscow on Monday dismissed U.S. concern of a Russian military buildup in Syria, saying its military aid to Bashar Assad was nothing out of the ordinary.
Over the weekend U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry phoned his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to express concern about reports of an "enhanced Russian buildup" in Syria.
"The Russian side has never concealed the fact that it is sending military equipment to the Syrian authorities to help them fight terrorism," Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told AFP, commenting on the Kerry-Lavrov phone talks.
"Lavrov confirmed that such aid has always been provided and is being provided."
Citing U.S. administration officials, The New York Times reported last week that Russia had sent a military advance team to its ally Syria and was taking other steps that Washington fears may signal plans to vastly expand military support for the beleaguered Assad.

Manitoba premier, asks feds to double refugee sponsorship cap

Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger added his voice to those of provincial and municipal leaders calling for immediate action from the federal government on the Syrian refugee crisis.

"We think we can double the number of people we can take in the refugee category," Selinger said in an interview on Sunday on CBC News Network's Power & Politics.

I watched Greg Selinger on the idiot box yesterday and I don't know about anyone else, but it struck me Mr. Selinger already has a 'full plate' looking after his own indigenous people, without taking on more.

Ironically, quite often they do. :)

If it involves lying I don't think so. OTOH, one of our rights is freedom of speech.

I think that crass comment could apply to you, not to mention name calling is against forum rules. :)

Then you have a problem with lying, not with telling the right things to the right people.

Another hate mail from the local terrorist supporter. Nothing new. Why don't you take in a couple hundred terrorists? Or better yet go join them and you can kiss putin's azz at the same time. Two for one.

Fine example of not having anything intelligent to say. You a member of a protected group or what?

That's not a protected group and what is threatening you in Syria. If they moved in next door the only thing that would change is the way you talk. I would call that a win cause you sure are a loser at the moment.
So what are you opening your trap about Syria? (or anyplace else considering the quality of your posts) Mr Gossip should be your name.

Family of children found on Turkish beach were trying to come to Canada

The two small boys whose bodies washed up on a Turkish beach Wednesday were Kurdish refugees from Kobane, Syria, whose family had been desperately trying to emigrate to Canada.

Galip Kurdi, five, and his three-year-old brother Aylan died along with their mother Rehan and eight other refugees when their boat overturned in a desperate flight from Turkey to the Greek island of Kos.

The boys’ father, Abdullah, survived. His family says his only wish now is to return to Kobane with his dead wife and children, bury them, and be buried alongside them.

“I heard the news at five o’clock in this morning,” Teema Kurdi, Abdullah’s sister, said Wednesday. The telephone call came from Ghuson Kurdi, the wife of another brother, Mohammad. “She had got a call from Abdullah, and all he said was, my wife and two boys are dead.”

Teema, a Vancouver hairdresser who emigrated to Canada more than 20 years ago, said Abdullah and Rehan Kurdi and their two boys were the subject of a “G5” privately sponsored refugee application that was rejected by Citizenship and Immigration in June, owing to the complexities involved in refugee applications from Turkey.

The family had two strikes against them – like thousands of other Syrian Kurdish refugees in Turkey, the UN would not register them as refugees, and the Turkish government would not grant them exit visas.

“I was trying to sponsor them, and I have my friends and my neighbours who helped me with the bank deposits, but we couldn’t get them out, and that is why they went in the boat. I was even paying rent for them in Turkey, but it is horrible the way they treat Syrians there,” Teema said.

Fin Donnelly, the MP for Port Moody-Coquitlam, said he’d hand-delivered the Kurdis’ file to Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander earlier this year. Alexander said he would look into it, Donnelly said, but the Kurdis’ application was rejected in June. Alexander could not be reached for comment.

“This is horrific and heartbreaking news,” Donnelly said. “The frustration of waiting and the inaction has been terrible.”

Canada and Turkey have long been at loggerheads over the bottleneck blocking Syrian refugees in Turkey from finding their way to Canada. It is not uncommon for Kurds in Syria to be arbitrarily denied passports, and to have great difficulty registering as refugees with the UNHCR.

The Turkish government refuses to issue exit visas to unregistered refugees not holding valid passports.
