Dara Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Well, thats disapointing. I feel bad for Mr Trudeau. Barely 2 weeks into being PM and he has already had to cancel a huge promise due to it being IMPOSSIBLE
Dara Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Erased my response because the powers that be have heard you Porkpie and totally backed off their numbers to a safer time table... 10,000 by end of year the balance by the end of February... Yes, all you need is a Passport from a friendly country you edited while I was writing Edited November 24, 2015 by Dara
cram Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 I'm glad he had the guts to cancel it instead of pushing through just for the optics.
Dara Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Yes, its really quite sad that he couldn't pull through..oh well...better luck with the new plan
porkpie Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Yes, I'm aware of all that. Thanks for your input. Like I said, if you want to live in a utopian fog by all means do so. The boogeyman can take many forms that's true. Nonetheless prudence is a virtue, and it often gets thrown under the wheels of the bus for political expedience! I believe that is the case here.

Well there is some good news. And what that means is that it's not just me that's concerned, but the liberals are hearing from their base quite loudly as well! Obviously it's not just us frightened conservatives lol.

Or, that he simply didn't have a clue about the logistics involved in bringing in that many refugees on short notice and the people that actually have make this happen have told him that they need more time.
Big Cliff Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Posted November 24, 2015 Oh but wait, there is more!!!!! Turns out that 25,000 is just the Government sponsored number, apparently there is no cap on the number of private/corporate sponsored refuges coming in to Canada. I'm all for helping people when we can but two years ago when propane prices went through the roof I know Canadian seniors that had to choose between heating and eating. When I started calling our MPs and MPPs I was told to tell them to go to the United Way and they might be able to help because there was no provision in our government to help them. There was a comment about "why was I so bitter?" I am bitter because I know seniors that have worked and contributed for their whole lives and the total sum of their pensions are $1370.00 a month but we can spend $60,000.00/ person to bring people here that have never contributed anything to Canada. Oh and I just heard on the news now that priorities will be given to gay single men? WTH, where is the logic in this?
SirCranksalot Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 I'm glad he had the guts to cancel it instead of pushing through just for the optics. so am I. Nice to see someone show leadership.
John Bacon Posted November 24, 2015 Report Posted November 24, 2015 Oh and I just heard on the news now that priorities will be given to gay single men? WTH, where is the logic in this? I would assume that the logic is that mulsim countries tend to execute gays. I am not sure about the logistics though. Do they take their word for it? Or, do they have provide evidence that they are gay? If it is the former they may find that there are a lot of single gay male refugees.
