Conservatives blame Media for Canada's failure to address Refugee Crisis

Like the hummingbird, the ways of Mother Earth and Father Sky teach them to seek warmer climes when the cold of winter comes. This is the wisdom. . . of my people!
You're confusing most of Canada with the 30% of the population that's fukking retarded.
That is not quite true, Canadians love to help AFTER all Canadian citizens are able to enjoy a basic standard of living. What's the use of bringing in aliens when we have people on the verge of starvation? I've already said that we should try to make room for 100. What we don't need is someone seeing a sad picture on the idiot box and immediately jumping to import 25,000. THAT is just f**king insanity. I'm beginning to wonder now if Harper isn't even falling for this.
Syrian refugee question provokes heckling, boos at Conservative campaign event
Tory supporters shout down reporters asking Harper about refugees and security concerns
The atmosphere turned sour at a Conservative Party event in Welland, Ont., when reporters asked Stephen Harper about Syrian refugees.
Harper was asked by reporters to further explain his security concerns about refugees, as well as how he would speed up the process of bringing Syrians to Canada.
When a third reporter said she was following up on the refugee story as well, the crowd began to groan in frustration at the media.
One supporter shouted at journalists. "How many kids drowned in pools in Canada since last summer? Do you blame the government for that?"
The reporter proceeded to ask Harper once again about his security concerns.
"We will help refugees. We will also protect Canadians on security and we are committed to doing both of these things."
Reporters continued to shout "How?" but the questions were ignored.
After Harper's remarks, reporters attempted to speak to Nicholson about the situation in Syria and the refugee issue, but Nicholson walked away and reporters were prevented from following him by Conservative staff.

Canadians do not want anything to do with these migrants coming to Canada. That is VERY clear.
You must excuse Gliberals, Eagle. As far as I can tell, each and every one of them seems to have this subconscious urge to tell anyone and everyone what Canadians want simply because of their own personal choice. aPAULing Martin was full of comments like "Canadians want ..." and "Canadians think ...." but it didn't occur to him that folks from the Maritimes want and think different things than those in BC or the flatlands, etc.
Actually, the opposite is very clear.
There are polls that show people want government support and the parties that are pushing this have also maintained their positions in the polls while Harper's gone down.
I do agree that this is very clear though.
