Wilber Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 Good thing Harper bought those C-17's and C-130J's the Liberals and NDP didn't want. The Liberals will need them to haul refugees. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
jacee Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 Interesting that no one has mentioned prioritizing children and their caregivers, mostly parents. I'd think that's first priority. Quote

Harper deserves great credit for the C-17, but the initial plan to buy the C-130j came from the Marrim government. Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) After Justin's guys are done attempting to "prioritize" women and children, we're going to end up with 22,000 twentysomething Muslim dudes wandering around Toronto and Vancouver asking "hey, where's the babes at?" Basically a large number of economic immigrants who wouldn't make the cut if they were trying to get into the country under honest pretenses. On the bright side, maybe all those Tim Hortons places that were crying after Jason Kenney shut down the Temp Foreign Worker scam will be able to hire cheap-ass foreign laborers again. -k Not sure where you get your numbers from but its estimate 40% of the refugees admitted to BC will be under 19.

Argus Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Why are you so pessimistic about Canada's process? Maybe because the process seems best described as "Grab me some warm bodies!

More fair-minded than Europe? More experienced than Europe? Better prepared than Europe? Yes...Canada is much better prepared than Europe, at least for free refugee health care. All that means is refugee access to already long waiting lists...cheap and easy ! Bring over 25,000,000 for all that it matters in that regard. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

More fair-minded than Europe? More experienced than Europe? Better prepared than Europe? We're a hell of a lot more distant and difficult to get to. The fact refugees can walk most of the way to Europe accounts for the sheer size of the waves washing their way.

Smallc Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 We can be, but not if we want them all here by the end of next month to meet a stupid self-imposed deadline. It's still pretty easy to tell the difference between men, women, and children, I would think. Quote
Argus Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 It's still pretty easy to tell the difference between men, women, and children, I would think. You think we're going to bring over orphans? And Syria is a very paternalistic society. The men work, the women mostly don't. So if we're bringing over single mothers you better have your party set aside a lot more billions in taxpayer funding to support them for the remainder of their lives.

Guest Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 You know what you should do? You should mark them for deletion, for a few days at least, before getting rid. Then we could all look at them to see what kind of posts get deleted. Because I have no idea. Quote

Their cases are assessed against a number of categories, including whether they're in immediate physical danger, are survivors of violence or torture, have medical needs or are a woman, child or adolescent at risk. Those categories are applied against a person's current situation, not the one they left. It appears there's a process. . Quote
