I know Frank Mellish's kids wonder why he had to die, but it certainly wasn't for some imperial design, it was for the men to the left and right of him, for Rick Nolan, and the Regiment.

Some of what you say is true but some of it could be challenged. For example of the 50% you say are rejected as refugees who were border crossers from the US who are mostly Nigerians and not refugees under the convention definition what you do not disclose is how many of those are actually deported. Nigeria won't take them back and most are NOT deported. They remain in Canada. We deport very few illegal refugees. Look at the stats. This is because there are insufficient numbers of government officials to find and deport illegals and countries do not want them back. So this is why I argue the refugee system is flawed and when I say that the UN convention and I argue its outmoded. The reality is most refugees are economic migrants who because of disease, draught, flooding, earthquakes or other environmental phenomena need to physically move. That phenomena most certainly has to do with changing weather conditions that have brought on floods and draughts. It also has to do with specific economic conditions imposed by the International Monetary Fund and other such agencies representing and defending the best interests of multi-national corporations and cartels that now control the ability of any emerging country to grow and export food to then earn income to then apply to develop other economic sectors in their respective nations. This is tied in to corrupt leaders of 3rd and fourth world countries bribed and controlled by international conglamorates. We also in the first world create a brain drain. We suck out all the educated people from third and fourth world countries and leave them with no one to build their own nations. Its complicated and to simply say refugees are caused by war is inaccurate. Yes war displaces people who become refugees but the vast majority of war refugees do not go further than their feet can take them before they have no choice but to stop. Those refugees, the vast majority of them can not and do not travel to Canada or anywhere else because they have no money. They stay in camps where as much as 80% of their children are sexually molested in the chaos and the no.1 killer is diaheria from dehydration and malnutrition and unsanitary conditions. The refugee system that is defined in the UN convention was created by a bunch of elitist upper class academics who had and have no clue what refugees are and created a theoretical construct that has nothing to do with the real world. Our refugee system was created to ease the guilt of Canadians because during WW2 McKenzie King sent Jews back to Germany to die and called them vermin and rats and we had a racist immigration policy. It was created to make guilt ridden liberals feel better about themselves. It uses the Christian missionary script. We define refugees as savages needing to be saved by our values and way of life or they are condemned to hell and we convert them to our values to cleanse their souls. Its nothing but a bullshit rewritten Christian missionary script only we replace Christian religion values with the religion of Canadianism, this concept that everyone can be anything if they come to Canada and work for others and when they do make money spend it on material goods. We want refugees or underclass to fill the jobs born in Canada Canadians now won't do. Born in Canada Canadians have been brought up to expect minimum levels of lifestyle and so we need to find others not yet conditioned to believe that. Born in Canada Canadians believe it is their automatic right to have a house, car, job, and be able to own at least a t.v., radio, microwave, fridge, stove, unlimited cellphone and internet use, a computer as necessities. If we can bring in "refugees" not yet trained to believe that, we can both make ourselves feel righteous and less guilty and find cheap underclass to work. Guilt. That is the fuel of the refugee program we have. Its an invention to justify our living as elites in our political system which we all know depends on colonial satellite nations to provide us resources. We use the third and fourth world for manual labour, to test out new medicines, to test new military weapons and to engage in dangerous chemical and other productions we won't expose Canadians to. The Refugee system we have does but one thing-it creates an industry of smugglers or coyotes who charge life mortgages on the people they bring to Canada. The persons they bring to Canada whether they make it as refugees or not are not deported. They stay in Canada engaging in cheap labour and pay a hefty monthly fee back to their coyotes for the duration of their lives for getting them to Canada. Another form of cheap labour are students. We now have an education system of universities and colleges that take in huge amounts of revenue off of international students. These students use the entrance to schools, as a way to then go and work. Its just a way to get in for many. They enroll, and the cost of the school and the interest they pay the immigration consultant on the balance they owe him to get him to Canada, then are their reality. They are supposed to work up to 20 hours a week, many work 40-50. If they do show up in school its only to write a test with answers they got from another student. Many have other students sit in their place and write the tests for them. Universities and community colleges look the other way knowing these students have failed or cheated on the English tests and they hire and fire professors based on temporary contracts based on student evaluations. The moment a student files a bad evaluation or complains about a professor, bam they are gone. There are no shortage of under-employed Canadians looking to teach. Our training and academic schools now have turned into shams to sucker in those underclass who can't qualify as immigrants or refugees. Our current Prime Minister lives in a sheltered privileged environment brought up to believe "poor" people are creatures....dirty, savage, uncleansed and in need of his protection. He sees himself as a savior of them and he believes looking the other way and allowing his large cities to be flooded with these downtrodden is his messiah role only he is not there to wash their feet or feed them. Out of sight out of mind. Once he issues a few oral platitudes about them he moves on to his latest fantasy and has no clue nor does he care what happens to them when they come to Canada without proper survival and language skills. Immigration policy when it works, identifies economic needs of the country and matches people from outside Canada to those needs and this helps build the economy and brings new ideas and approaches. Bringing in dynamic immigrants to contribute to new ideas and innovations and fill the areas that are in need of good candidates is the purpose. There also has to be some degree of compassion and humanity for people suffering in other countries from war, disease, famine. I argue foreign aid properly administered and controlled not given helter skelter to corrupt regimes via Lavalin building prison camps for these corrupt leaders as Trudeau has done is one way to do this. Another way would be instead of bringing refugees to Canada and dumping them here where they are destined to suffer from social and psychological maladjustment, they be helped in their camps with food, water, proper shelter, education, sanitary support systems which would be far cheaper than our refugee determination process and would enable these refugees to be able to go home and help rebuild their countries when conditions change rather than leaving them in Canada as underclass.

Hey, look at that. Apparently, it's OK just to quote half the article now.

Fully automatic weapons are illegal in the United States and have been for decades. So are RPGs, etc. The vast majority of gun violence is committed with hand guns.

War has always caused refugees. Nothing needed to be predicted. No refugee is a result of globalization, whatever that means or climate change. Zero.

He was relatively left, certainly more left-wing than the likes of Calvin Coolidge and his friends. He crushed Herbert Hoover in 1932.

Is there data on that? When you say ‘right’ there, you mean laissez faire capitalism? One famous counterexample would be the New Deal.

You aint alone Inner and its not unique to us Jews by any means. All people struggle with the stuff like you do in their own unique ways as well. I think we chose to be born to learn lessons and the struggle is you finding answers. The harder it is to find the more meaningful it is when you find it.

Never be ashamed of your faith and ethnic/cultural background. You have much to be proud of in your Jewish heritage and I say that as a Catholic. There are good people in all faiths and good atheists. As long as our beliefs don’t promote hatred or lead to hateful acts, we shouldn’t worry. The bigger aim is love and understanding between all peoples. Easier said than done, but your reflectiveness well positions you to navigate intolerance, both from the anti- Semitic and among some Jews. I see the same extreme elements in all faiths and among some atheists. Thankfully they are in the minority. I think dialogue is helpful. I’m sure you planted a seed with Steve that will make him reconsider his views down the road.

No. Nobody has done that except you. We're talking specifically about refugees claimants. Again, I'm not sure why you get the idea nobody cares about people who claim asylum through other means. I had thought I had made it clear in referencing ALL asylum claimants and the costs involved. It does not cost more to house a border jumper than it does someone who comes on a work visa and claims asylum or shows up at the airport and claims asylum. And the numbers are well over 100,000 in just the last two years. In fact, the acceptance rate overall is closer to 70%. But there's a problem. As I've previously posted and cited, we do not record when people leave after getting turned down, not IF they leave. Nor does Border Services have much ability to look for them. There is no way of telling how many of those people who have been here through years of appeals actually leave or just move up the block. Again, the number in two years is 100,000, and this number continues to rise. That puts it at considerably above 10% For example, in the 2018 report to parliament it states that approximately 36,000 of 280,000 new permanent residents accepted in Canada were refugees. That is in one year vs your estimate of 25k in two. Yes, we all know. You've mentioned it at least a hundred times so far.

And never forget why Rick Nolan died ; lack of equipment, they didn't have enough armored vehicles, so he had to go in a jeep, and the RPG went right through the front window. God bless you, Cpl. Dove.

What awesome place did you leave, and how much better are the people there than Canadians?
