You can thank the fear mongers for excluding single men.

Housing refugees in military bases is not unusual. You would think these men and women in uniform are being cast out to sea to fend for themselves. Good grief.

You can voice your opinion anytime about our illustrious PM with the good hair.

Taking over? Hardly.

Brian Stewart, provided some interesting analysis today on a possible plan to end the war in Syria: I didn't quote the whole article, but it is a good read. Let's hope our world leaders show their leadership by moving forward with a well thought out strategic plan. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/peace-plan-syria-brian-stewart-1.3328962

No, the Canadian way is to provide humanitarian aid to the refugees. They will eventually be spread out over Canada in the coming months. Don't worry, I'm sure our miliary personnel won't be left out on the cold winter streets of Canada.

Kimmy, this is just fear mongering.

It blows my mind.

You make no sense with your post.

I have patience.

No hate here.

Your posts speak volumes.

You are intolerant to most things not white and not Canadian.

Yes, and let's presume these thoughts can't be changed.

Then perhaps you should start a fund raiser to sponsor a family. I assure you, this will change your thinking if you dare to open your mind.And this goes to every Syrian basher out there.

This sounds like fear is speaking full blast. The best way to beat fear is full exposure. Dare yourself to help a refugee family.

I have no idea where Kim city is but plenty of small town communities are embracing them. It's too bad your community isn't as welcoming as both sides are in need of an education.

Of course not but it's a start and it doesn't end there. Perhaps you should volunteer with a refugee family and put your fears to rest.

We have laws here to protect gays, women etc from these beliefs. But we certainly should share our ideology with these refugees and educate them on western values. Why do you think they won't be open to that?Or perhaps it's you that isn't open to the fact that people can be educated on more tolerant beliefs?

In case there are Syrians lurking on this site, here are some heart warming ways Canadians are helping the refugees. I think it's important to highlight these to offset the bashing that is taking place on this forum. The following humanitarian acts are the Canadian way. What are your communities doing to help? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-real-estste-developer-ian-gillespie-syrian-refugees-1.3327123 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-34883292 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/refugee-crisis-temple-shalom-sponsors-syrian-refugee-family-1.3325410 http://travelindustrytoday.com/2015-11-19-enerjet-offers-to-help-transport-refugees::22808 http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2015/10/21/new-fund-will-help-syrian-refugees-in-canada/

It's sickening, sad and frustrating.

It is clear that many individuals against helping the refugees are not open minded enough to read and contemplate the information provided. It's a futile exercise in frustration.

No need for vetting. They were from France and Belgium. Remember?

Yes they do Wilbur. And if you follow BC news you will know that they do.
