The dictator Saddam created this mess.


You got that right, although some would differ in their opinion! (But maybe not the two million he murdered over a period of 30 years) Possibly, also a few surviving Kurds! :)



Oooh Cannuck is giving Grammar lessons! :) :) :) :) Perhaps one of the prerequisites for that is the ability to SPELL:) This is entertaining - we are getting a chortle a minute here. :)

You may want to disclose a statement I have made either way about Muslims OR I'm going to have to relegate you to the category occupied by Cannucklehead! I used to think you are a tad cleverer than him.




I'm not sure "incompetent" is the word you are looking for. "Lacking resources"........................like money (for starters) might be a better characterization!






Canada? Skirmishes MAY be a possibility! :) :)

D Do you think if we invested the same amount (or less) money to our own marginalized people, we may see the same results? I see great potential there that just needs some 'polishing'.


I don't think they're holding back some miracle cure. the marginalized people have mental issues. If it were an easy fix, it'd be done. Maybe they'll see the refugees as having survived some horrible trauma and find the courage to help themselves out of their current situation. The refugees could bring hope to those who feel none here now.

Again, sound thinking, Twila but do you really think the refugees have fewer mental issues than our indigenous people? I wouldn't be at all surprised if they actually have more!

How in sane is taking in refugees from a region that has been constantly at war for a thousand years? Especially when we do not know the mental condition of these refugees.


You do realize that your argument would disqualify not only every refugee Canada has ever accepted, but also every regular immigrant Canada has ever accepted. Please name a region of the earth other than Antarctica which has not been at war during the last thousand years.

Perhaps Switzerland, Greenland, Iceland, Denmark?

You are wrong about Switzerland and Denmark, but I will concede Iceland (except during WW II) and Greenland, although in the latter's case little is known about what the aboriginal population of the region did to one another before the Scandinavians arrived and started killing them off. In any case if Canada had relied just on those four nations our immigrant population would have numbered just a few thousand.
