Actually then Harper got out of politics.
Here I thought that was a reference to how much wisdom God could teach a person, I stand corrected.
Trudeau hailed as an 'Example' to the World
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
The First refugees to arrive greeted by Trudeau at Pearson airport were already approved under the Conservatives.
Facts are cool.
Do you think I was speaking of me? I'm not that self-centred or in need of attention - unlike common internet pests - thus no need to snipe from the bush. Better luck next target....
The first gifts they got were parkas. I wonder what they thought of the scarves and hoods that were included??
That's the spirit. Positive thoughts will get you out of the rut that nasty mean prime minister put you in.
Fault or Wisdom?
I'd be surprised if the President could get near any nukes unattended even if he wanted to!
Ok, where are your "facts?"
From what I've been able to find (and its very little 'cuz its the Liberals don't 'cha know) read and get information on, the Conservatives were going through the refugee camps and vetting individuals there. The Liberals went to hotels. Don't know how much "vetting" went on there!! The 25,000 that came to Canada weren't from Refugee camps - notice how well dressed they were?) for the most part and weren't vetted very well (if at all) either. In fact, how could they have been since the timing was so short it would have been impossible to vet them properly.
JMHO
Prior to the election 2,300 Syrian refugees had resettled in Canada with another nearly 10,000 in the process of application as of Oct 2 2015.
Post election November 17(this is where it gets humourous) we saw this problem.
On Nov. 17, the UNHCR began sending out thousands of text messages to refugees who were already registered with the agency. Some of the cellphone numbers had changed, meaning not every text may have been received.
Of the 41,050 texts sent by UNHCR to ask refugees if they were interested in resettling permanently in Canada:
28,560 replied, and were contacted by phone to see if they would come in for an interview to see if they qualified.
3,049 actually showed up to UNHCR for those interviews.
1,801 had been referred to Canada as of Nov. 30 for follow-up interviews with Canadian visa officers.

So yes, what did happen to the vetting?
