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.
How about Hudson Bay so the whole Bay is settled. 200 new cities just like that and one common industry, fishing and selling ice to the ones way down south.

It might be home medicine so be careful. 4 basic health aids at home and a manual on how to bury the dead.

The income from selling the fish could fuel the brain places, what else would be done with a lot of new money coming in, rather than it leaving as seems to be the current thought.

Just make sure you move all the heavy tonnage on the ice rather than waiting for water.

Yeah, right on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) :) :) :) I doubt like hell if the H.B. area could sustain two large cities. The Environmentalists wouldn't allow it even if the resources were there.

Emoticons and exclamation marks are what you do when you don't have a better solution, 3 million new people come into Canada, what do you do with them? So far I'm think they get lost in the ocean on the way over would be your choice. (and a few others)

Fish would probably die in the Great Lakes. The Environmentalists can be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
The water is already there, are you saying feeding fish would be bad for the water.
For the moment let's go with 3 million refugees. The hardware only has to be moved there and put together, the first harvest is 20 years from the start of the project and every year after that one it gets bigger.
Does it get started or not, by Canada herself?
Case #2, 3 million Canadians in the east have to move because of the snow that doesn't melt, the West won't sacrifice the land and Mexico says we can take you all in and with the gentle rains you would become a homesteader with a 1/4 section for each member of your family if you live on the land.
Do you take the offer and move or stay there and become a Popsicle after the gas and power no longer functions?

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.
Nice dodge.

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
Oh dear.

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?

Building new cities would be the last thing a thinking person would want. All you would wind up with is several massive ghettos run by terrorist gangs.

We simply cannot accept these people!

The economic burden to support them is----


Refugee crisis: Greek officials register 15,000 migrants in a single day

That is a fact. Also if you look closely you will notice there are not a lot of families but lots of single men. This has been noted in Germany and has become a problem.

The economy can wait for the next election, I guess.


Canadians want more to be done to help refugees

Canadians want more to be done about the refugee crisis and are willing to take in a substantially larger number of refugees than the country is currently admitting, polls suggest.

Polls by the Angus Reid Institute and Mainstreet Research, both published over the last week, provide a glimpse of where Canadians stand on the crisis. Just over three-quarters of respondents to the Angus Reid poll agreed that "most of these people are genuine refugees whose lives are in danger."

It seems that Canadians are not pleased with the role Canada has played so far. In the Mainstreet poll, only 35 per cent approved of the government's response to the crisis, while 48 per cent disapproved. Just 25 per cent thought that Canada is doing its fair share.

Where ever do they do these polls? In a room full of immigration lawyers? Not a single person I have talked to wants any refugees brought here although most would be willing to send aid to where they live IF it can be kept out of the hands of various warlords and terrorist organizations.

Yet another elephant in the room the media is avoiding. You don't even have to look closely.

Yea because sexism is really a convincing argument.


Refugee crisis: Germany says it could take 500,000 people a year | World news | The Guardian


By the way, the total bill for that is $14B. We're taking in less than 2% of that which means we don't even crack $500 million over a 4 year period.


The money side of this is a non issue.

Grow some balls conbots.


Let's take these people in and make them productive Canadians.

No, Mr. Harper — you can’t fix a refugee crisis by blowing things up

What Harper doesn’t understand — or refuses to acknowledge — is that the biggest single factor poisoning politics and fueling violent conflict in the Middle East today is the long-unresolved issue of Israel and the Palestinians.

If you trace the history of terrorism back to before the al Qaida 9/11 attacks, to the Black September attack on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, you’ll find ample evidence that Palestinian grievances have been successfully exploited by terrorists to spawn more terrorism. (The eight Palestinian Black September terrorists in Munich named their operation after two Palestinian villages whose inhabitants were driven out by Israel in 1948.)

Previous Tory and Liberal governments tried to help build peace in the region by maintaining an even-handed and fair approach in their dealings with Israel and its neighbours. Harper doesn’t even pretend to be balanced. He told the Israeli Knesset last year that his government “refuse(s) to single out Israel for criticism on the international stage.”

Harper can’t acknowledge the true root causes of the crisis. And so, whenever anyone asks him how he’s handling the refuge crisis, his answer is always pretty much the same: Bombs away!

The long unresolved evil of Israel is not an issue it's a plague on mankind.

Good idea. If you pick 1948 as the "root cause," you can ignore everything else. Because nothing ever happened before 1948.
