Justin Trudeau and his Somalia First policy

[West]

Looks like Justin Trudeau once again squanders 100 million that should go toward CANADIANS and will now fund housing for the Somalians in Toronto

Or won't.  I believe ford's people say that's not enough to resolve the refugee crisis for housing. 

so hundreds of millions spent, the problem will continue, and what have we achieved?

An announcement, smiley pic, good vibes. The only thing that still seem to be capable of achieving here.

Can someone spell "outrageous"? Government happily squanders millions not out of its pocket, yours and mine for the problem it singlehandedly created. Only one question: why won't we have more of that, and more till it takes all of our resources? What's there to prevent or stop it? Where?

Trudeau was at a Somali barbeque in Calgary last week looking for votes. The news covered it thusly:

Trudeau said Ismailis still approach him to express their gratitude for the work his father, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, did in bringing members of the community to Canada in large numbers.

“It is much more true that my father and I and Canada owe you a debt of gratitude. Not just for what you’ve contributed to this country but for being a shining example of what welcoming people who are fleeing violence, persecution, fear can do,” he said.

 I doubt anyone who isn't a Somali would have done more than snort and laugh. If there is one immigrant group in all of Canada's history of immigration who can be fairly reliably placed as the worst to ever come to Canada it is Somalis. I still have a Statistics Canada study somewhere that showed how well refugees from various areas performed after coming to Canada. Somali men were the only group that actually (somehow) had lower employment after ten years in Canada then they did after five. Someone explain that to me as anything but them figuring out how to screw the system.

And I'm actually surprised when I hear about a murder around here and see a black face that isn't accompanied by a name like Muhammed or Yusof or Omar or something similar. Somali are notorious for street crime and violence throughout Canada. Even more than Jamaicans. And I'm given to understand it's the same in Calgary and Edmonton as here. Somalis were notorious for swarming, too, groups of them attacking single people to beat and rob them. That was in the old days, before they graduated to drive-by shootings and drug deals.

One of the aspects of the media that provokes distrust is their deliberate efforts at hiding things like this from their viewers and readers. That independent news organizations ALL decide, individually, that they need to hide information from Canadians so as to not perhaps provoke feelings that run counter to their own ideological narrative has made a lot of people understand over the years that news runs secondary to pushing their own social messages. The cynicism whenever a violent criminal is not described or identified seems almost universal now in its belief the media is hiding their ethnic identity.

So in a sense, Trudeau is correct. Us welcoming Somalis without conditions and without any threat of expulsion for poor behaviour is indeed a shining example of what can happen. 

And before anyone whines I know there are good Somali citizens. I'm sure there were good Incans and Haida despite those nations being murdering slavers. I'm sure there were good members of the Nazi party in Germany, and good Communists in the Soviet Union. That's not the point. There are far, far, far too many bad ones.
