I just thought you really needed an explanation for a patently obvious comment.

Don't know why.

Just call it a hunch.

What is obvious is you and other libtards are very comfortable with liars in charge of you.




And lets be honest... you are quite comfortable with migrants staying right where they are.

Hey Harper's a Liberal now.

Really now!! What is the difference between a Conservative and a Liberal?

The reason I said that... is because Harper lies.

You've said absolutely nothing- that is a common denominator among politicians. They are ALL guilty.
There's one thing that sets Harper apart from the others, he's had the experience and knows the ropes, the others don't really have a clue until they get there!

And lets be honest... you are quite comfortable with migrants staying right where they are.

As any sane Canadian would be. They have to fix up their own country and make it habitable. That might include assassinating a couple of monsters but it wouldn't be the first time.

How very... Republican of you! The Tea Party would be proud to have you as a member.

A lot of people consider Republican vs. Democrat, I consider what works vs. what doesn't. :)

If we are going to embark on this program there are so many considerations of course it should take time, probably months. I'm just going to list 3 or 4 considerations as I have no idea of the total involved.

1. The most vulnerable refugees.
2. Refugees who have skills and training in jobs we have openings for.
3. Refugees who pass a criminal record check
4. Refugees who will have the least strain on our medical system
5. Refugees who will have the least strain on our welfare system.
You realize that criterion 1 refugees are likely to fail criteria 2, 4, and 5, right?

yep, the thought crossed my mind- you probably aren't going to find anyone who meets all criteria and you probably have to try to meet a balance with some of each. Like maybe we should allow some emaciated, sickly orphans as a compassionate aspect. The most important thing is we know what we are getting as opposed to just loading up a boat with the first 5,000 refugees on the dock.

So, where would you fling the ones that didn't pass your criteria?

More needs to be done.


Refugee crisis requires a united European response


We call on our political leaders to:

• Establish simple, safe and practical ways for refugees to seek asylum in Europe without risking their lives to come here. This is the best way to eliminate human trafficking and reduce casualties.

• Show solidarity toward the countries at Europe’s outer borders, where refugees and migrants first arrive, by funding and organising a safe, dignified and coordinated reception system at Europe’s edges, with a fast and fair assessment of applications for asylum.

• Suspend the Dublin agreement, which returns asylum seekers to their first point of entry, so long as large numbers of refugees continue to arrive in Europe.

• Support a fairer distribution of refugees among EU member states. All European countries must participate in a relocation programme far more ambitious than we have seen so far. The UN high commissioner for refugees, António Guterres, has suggested that Europe takes responsibility for 200,000 refugees. This should be the starting point of the discussions.

• Increase financial and humanitarian aid to Middle Eastern nations affected by the Syrian conflict. An aid package must cover not only the immediate needs of food, water and medical supplies, but should commit Europe to helping rebuild local communities in the long term, thereby offering people in the Middle East hope and opportunities for a safer and better future in their own countries.

• Put increased pressure on other key international players, such as Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United States, to do their utmost to bring the parties in the Syrian conflict together for UN-led peace negotiations.

I kind of liked a comment from a Canadian lady on the CBC article on the article Flossy posted.


After she ripped into Harper she adamantly added...


We should be over there in Europe setting up tents providing medical care and education and providing peace keepers.


That made me laugh... not a thing about bringing them to Canada.

The balance being... find the sickly orphans.


Yup... sounds about right and what I've been saying.

15 million, 5 million from 3 countries each and each country had 20 cities/villages that became deserted.

1. Keep people from the same town/villages together as much as possible. Concentrate on 'integrating the ones 20 and under' as far as language and higher technologies and interaction with other villages that fit the term 'refugee'. If they prefer to stay as one group rather than intermingle then they become the ones whacking away at the land to make a living.

2. Jack of all trades is the new style of education and then nothing ever becomes 'special' where it can exercise control more than it. If we keep the lights on the 'robots' can do the 'chores' and all people become unemployed at the same yearly rate of a bankers take-home pay.

3. Those who don't pass go to the 'frontier zone' where a good aim might mean you see another spring.

4. Those who get treated get paid as they agree to be the 'lab-fats'. Just kidding, the aim is to not get sick in the first place, injuries are treated on site and the infants and the elder watch as people are born and then they die id they survive to be old.

5. The possessions they are given are worked off over a period of years, same as before but you get before you pay. A 'direction' is supposed to be available, if not then welcome to the new frontier boys and girls, I hear a new Don is coming to be the sheriff for 'awhile'..
