Smallc Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Of course we all know that Trudeau is the reason that almost no Yazidi people are getting into Canada - right? Well, maybe not: An audit of over 500 Syrian refugees let into Canada by the previous Conservative government shows three Yazidis were among them. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/yazidi-refugees-immigration-committee-monday-1.3683805 It seems like with so many things, Conservatives were better at over the top rhetoric than on target delivery.

poochy Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Liberals, same as the conservatives, a year later, after an official declaration of genocide. Thanks for making the point. Now while you're waving the flag maybe you could explain to us why after a couple years of vilifying the conservatives for not recognizing the declaration on indigenous people from the UN, and after swearing, with all of their very big, and lying hearts that they would not only recognize, but also implement those recommendations, turns out, it was all for politics, all a sham, maybe you can start another thread to claim victory on that point. Let me start you out with the first sentence. Liberals, worst than conservatives for pretending they would enact polices the conservatives were honest about not enacting. If you need any other 'wins' to celebrate, let me know, there are plenty of others, from, you know, those kind, caring, nice, evidence based policy makers who are at best no better than the evil empire, and their former, Darth Vader ish leader. Hooray liberals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the change in government, Trudeau has been maligned for leaving Yazidi and bringing over the 'wrong' people. It turns out the last government did the same thing.

But they were just starting. They said we should give priority to the Yazidis over others. What exactly was wrong with that? By the way, do you have even the slightest idea of what percentage of refugees in the camps are Yazidis in the first place? I believe they make up less than 2% of Iraq's population, and a far smaller percent of Syria. How was that even rhetoric? What was to be gained from it, politically? All they said was that priority should be to Yazidis, Christians, and gays, who were the most threatened. It was you guys who turned that into a horrible racist attack on Muslims and your blessed leader who stood up and said "Screw the gays and Christians and Yazidis! We want dedicated Muslims here!" You turned what wasn't even a political act into political advantage in order to denounce the Tories for being unenlightened. And if that meant people died, well, when have Liberals ever cared about that? Edited July 19, 2016 by Argus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out the last government did the same thing. Trudeau has bee maligned by whom? I haven't seen a word about it. Apparently there was some suggestion in the story that the Tories were pushing to have them bring in more Yazidis. What exactly is wrong with that? Do you have a personal religious problem with these people? You don't like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) That explains why they brought over 3 of them and 497 other people. They gave instructions that religious minorities were to be given priority. Then they ordered an audit, probably because they wondered whether or not their instructions were being obeyed. Apparently they weren't. How many has Trudeau brought over? Edited July 20, 2016 by Argus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CITIZEN_2015 Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Trudeau and Canada must do everything they can to bring as many Yazidi girls who are falling victims to terrorists and as fast as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but Mister Trudeau has already stated he has no intention of taking the religion of any of the refugees or would-be refugees into account.

Argus Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Either they're refugees or they aren't. Some are refugees because things are bad at home. Some are refugees because they personally are being subjected to genocide and slavery. Not quite the same degree of danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argus Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I guess bad is a pretty broad description now. It is pretty broad when it affects tens of millions of people, but where those people are not specifically being targeted. Those Iraqi refugees, for example, could have simply gone south into areas of Iraq controlled by the Iraqi government. Same for Syrian refugees. For that matter, they're perfectly safe in Turkey, where the president is talking about giving them citizenship. The yazidi, on the other hand, are not welcome anywhere in the region and face persecution everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
