CdnFox Posted July 17, 2023 Report Posted July 17, 2023 https://epaper.nationalpost.com/article/281505050686688 And https://nationalpost.com/opinion/sabrina-maddeaux-liberals-resettling-asylum-seekers-by-dumping-them-on-the-pavement Just a few weeks ago, on World Refugee Day, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau trumpeted his government’s commitment to refugees. In a statement, he said, “Everyone deserves a safe place to call home … And Canada is stepping up: In 2022, for the fourth year in a row, we were the top country in the world to resettle refugees.” He concluded it with, “Today, we come together as Canadians to keep our country a welcoming place and help build a safer world for everyone.” His high-minded words are near impossible to square with the current scene unfolding in downtown Toronto. Asylum seekers, including families and children, are being effectively abandoned on the pavement outside of 129 Peter St., a City of Toronto assessment and referral centre for those experiencing homelessness. The trouble is, Toronto’s shelters are full, so there’s nowhere to refer asylum seekers to when they land at Pearson International Airport. Instead, they’re sent to wait outside 129 Peter indefinitely. They’ve been sleeping on concrete for weeks, through heat- and air-quality warnings, through thunderstorms and cold nights, many without adequate food or water. I believe it was Exflyer who said there's no housing crisis, that the "immigrants will be just fine"? We can't even find shelter for the refugees. And while it's not reported here other sources have noted that a big part of the problem is there's no permanet homes available for the refugees so they get backed up and stuck in the shelters and there's no where for them to go, and the shelters are full. This is going to get worse. We CANNOT be letting these people in if we dont' have the means to care for them! 3 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

Quote Explaining that to liberals is like telling kids that they need to make healthier eating choices, leaving a box of Fruit Loops on the counter, and then saying "Hey, why is all this broccoli still here? I woulda swore my kid was gonna eat it after my great speech." LOL well true enough. But at the end of the day the problem remains - and the public needs to realize that a) the libs don't care and this is going to continue and b) this is going to have MAJOR consequences for us. one only has to look at many of the european countries to see what happens when immigrants are brought in and then dumped and left to their own devices. They will eventually wind up in little groups and become extremely disenfranchised and eventually violent and rebellious. We have to point this out to the public until people are willing to demand the libs knock it off and scale it back to a number we CAN support. 2 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

herbie Posted July 17, 2023 Report Posted July 17, 2023 Do you want to see govt run refugee camps instead? That would seem to be a workable solution, obviously not the first choice, but a safe, properly run place outside the downtowns where they can be until proper placement is found. They don't have to be like 3rd world where they remain for generations, more like for months. Or is impossible to manage such a system? Quote

The only reason why there are still Palestinian "refugee camps" is to foment hatred against Israel. The number of refugees taken in during the islamic state situation was several times higher than the total number of "Palestinian refugees". Those guys could all have resettled generations ago if they were interested.

CdnFox Posted July 17, 2023 Author Report Posted July 17, 2023 10 minutes ago, herbie said: Do you want to see govt run refugee camps instead? I want less refugees until we have the ability to cope with the numbers. Period. Quote That would seem to be a workable solution, obviously not the first choice, but a safe, properly run place outside the downtowns where they can be until proper placement is found. They don't have to be like 3rd world where they remain for generations, more like for months. It's more workable than letting them live on the streets but it's not a solution to anything. The bottleneck is our resources to integrate them into our society. We don't have the homes or the healthcare or the sponsors or the infrastructure to process these people as fast as they are arriving. Until we build more homes, have more resources etc we HAVE to reduce the numbers. We are doing NOONE any favors by bringing in people we can't support. Quote Or is impossible to manage such a system? It would be possible to manage it for a time but you're coming at it from the wrong end. It's like looking to add a bigger toilet bowl because the toliet is plugged - that's still going to eventually be a problem. We have to clear the pipes so that water can flow properly and not put anything else into the bowl before that is done. Canada has been the world's most successful country for immigration policy for many decades because of one reason - we have always been able to successfully integrate the new people coming in as fast as they come in. But - since trudeau has taken over that system has become more strained - and now we're at the point we can't keep up. That is disastrous. We cannot bring in more people than we can process - and that is a complicated and intricate system. And currently it's overloaded. 40 minutes ago, WestCanMan said: Do you feel like something ceases to be wrong when the media stops talking about it? That is the most telling part of his comment -- he's not concerned about the immigrants, he's not concerned about the harm to them or the country.... he's concerned it's in the news and making his liberals look bad. 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

No, it doesn't. It creates a reply based on the thousands of other similar replies it's been given as examples.

Which is what it did for you It didn't 'call anyone out' - you were just too stupid to realize that all it was doing is regurgitating crap from people who are equally stupid as you Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
herbie Posted July 17, 2023 Report Posted July 17, 2023 Thank you CdnFox for actually discussing the subject. The idea was just the quickest 'solution' I could think of that was actually doable. Kind of obvious 500,000 housing units are not gonna be built every year to accommodate anyone let alone the people already here needing them. And if no one is gonna make them live away from major cities to earn their citizenship/landed immigrant status, we're completely hooped. But we need more people to fill and grow the country and no one's gonna promote a $1000 a month 'baby bonus' either. Quote

Sure, and as far as band aids go it's reasonable but it leads to bad consequences if it's not quickly followed up with permanent solutions. Quote Kind of obvious 500,000 housing units are not gonna be built every year to accommodate anyone let alone the people already here needing them. Yeah. At least not in the immediate future. But that does mean we have to seriously consider scaling things back till we can fix that.

But we need more people to fill and grow the country and no one's gonna promote a $1000 a month 'baby bonus' either. Immigration is imporant but we should seperate 'immigrants" from "refugees" when we're discussing it. Refugees are an emergency situation rather than part of our plan to productively grow our population. And sure - everyone wants to help out when someone's in trouble. But here's the reality - if you have 10 people in the water, and your lifeboat holds 9 max.. then trying to bring that 10th person on board sinks the boat and kills all ten, rather than the 1 you would have left in the water. We have to be honest about what we can do, and what we can't. Otherwise we wind up helping nobody. Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

They don't have to be like 3rd world where they remain for generations, more like for months. Or is impossible to manage such a system? It's impossible given the glacial slowness of our refugee determination system. Last time I heard it was a minimum of three years before an applicant even got their first hearing. Then there are more years of waiting through hearings, then appeals, then more appeals. We can't put someone in a camp for six or seven years when they might actually be a legitimate refugee. Well, we can, but we should not. The only way to do this is to write a new law on refugee determination and put it under the notwithstanding clause to keep the lawyers away. Give them a quick hearing, ie, within weeks, then an appeal if they make one, again within weeks. Then back they go to whatever jurisdiction they arrived from. IF that is even possible. A lot of them destroy their documents before applying, then give phony names. If we can't prove who they are it's much harder to send them back to their own country. What we need to be able to do is send them back to whatever country they arrived from, be it the US or France or wherever. If they caught a plane there for here we send them back. Unfortunately, a lot of countries aren't willing to accept that because then the migrant becomes their problem. 17 hours ago, ironstone said: Nothing stopping you from putting your leftist responses up for all to see.

herbie Posted July 18, 2023 Report Posted July 18, 2023 What makes you think they'd have to stay in a camp for six or seven years? I said, until proper accommodations are found pretty clearly. You seem to think what 3rd world countries do is the only way things can be done, just as you assume the worst offenders are common examples of refugees. You also think we can 'just send them back' before we even find them ineligible. If you actually think taking in refugees is a "leftist" idea, you're so far to the right you're shouting at clouds.
