Syrian refugees relieved they won't end up in Saskatchewan

erm Syria has a variety of terrains and climates.
Anyone in their right mind would rather live in Moosejaw (let alone Saskatoon) than Toronto.
BTW, subsidies are corporate welfare.

Apparently you don't live in Saskatchewan. I have lived there and it's a great place!

Too cold in the winter and too far from the ocean.

Of course they are... there are jobs there, they would have to work.

The other provinces will just keep them on the Welfare rolls with all the other Dippers.

Northern SK would be ok. I am kind of fond of mountains, forests, streams, lakes, etc. Seemingly endless fields of grains has no appeal for me.

No stereotyping there, huh

Winters with frost have no appeal to me. I want to retire to somewhere there is no word in their vocabulary for snow.

All this much fuss over an Onion type article?

 

[taxslave]

Well onions have layers so it takes time,

WE would all much prefer you didn't come to BC too.

I'm sure you do. Social conservatives hate a little reason and common sense in the gene pool.

When did they quit making men in BC?

Syrian refugees relieved they won't end up in Saskatchewan

BEIRUT -- Syrian refugees expected to arrive in Canada were consoled by the fact that they are not welcome to live in Saskatchewan following Premier Brad Wall’s concerns that some of them may be terrorists looking to harm Canada.

Thousands of men, women and children living in refugee camps explained that they would be much happier in a place where they wouldn’t be viewed with added suspicion by politicians, and even happier not having to endure the frozen, apocalyptic hellscape that is Canada’s prairies.

“I would like to live in a province where the Premier understands that I'm fleeing terrorism and not a part of it,” explained Samina Nada, a mother of four who has been living in a crowded Lebanon refugee camp for two years. “Also, I would feel desolate and alone with only endless prairie to look at all day. How can people live there? The closest bookstore is two hours away.”

Other refugees were much harsher on Canada’s rectangular province.

“I would rather endure another aerial bombardment than watch another re-run of “Corner Gas””, lamented Basim Kareem who fled Homs when Syrian government forces began to shell the city. “There’s only so much I can converse about potash and wheat. And let’s be honest, the only thing more humiliating than living in a province with a CFL team incapable of playing football, is living in a province where people actually care about CFL football.”

Saskatchewan residents, meanwhile, can’t help but view this latest development as a missed opportunity.

“It’s too bad,” said a sad Georgina Fox from Lumsden. “I was really looking forward to trying the kefta at Boston Pizza.”

Right. You have to like the wide open spaces to live in Saskatchewan. Although they have some very beautiful spots too, like the Cypress Hills. I'm not a big lover of oceans either. Nice to visit but not to live beside. The lakes of Saskatchewan are enough water for me.
The mountains make me claustrophobic. Nice to visit but not to live in.
I should think refugees who are as desperate to escape their circumstances would be glad to get anywhere that they can be safe and have some decent living conditions.

What is better? A safe place to sleep, Enough to eat, Clean water, and nobody shooting at you? Saskatchewan looks pretty good after Syria.

Saskatchewan has it right, Saskatchewan will be taking in hundreds and thousands of well trained and educated German immigrants from Germany very soon.

These highly skilled Germans will be vacating Germany soon because of all the low life's that are overthrowing that country.

Sask will benefit greatly from this immigration.

Do you even know what country you live in or are you just a blasted eejit?

I live in Saskatoon and there is a house across the street that is for sale. Maybe I will end up with Syrian neighbours that I can show how to set their own trap line and I might give them my old pair of snowshoes.
