ScottSA Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Remember the shock and outrage when Canadians found out how many "Canadians" were in Lebanon? Gosh, now it look like a fair number are in Somalia too. Funny what the Bob Smiths and Herbert Weisls get up to on weekends, eh? Good thing they have Canada to come home to for free medicare if they get punctured and manage to make it back here. "Some Somali-Canadians have fought as Islamist extremists in Somalia," says the report, Somali-Canadian Islamic Militants. It is marked "Secret" but was released under the Access to Information Act, although portions were removed for national security reasons.The report says the Canadian government does not know how many Canadians are in Somalia; only 28 have registered with the Department of Foreign Affairs, but the actual number is estimated at somewhere between 1,000 and 5,000. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/st...b2a37fdd3a8&k=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it looks like, at least now, they are being found out.If they die over there fighting, no problem for me. As for the free health care...no they wont be getting any such thing. 180 day rule excludes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wonder who is taking care of their wives and 18 children here? Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why there are signs in all the Docs/Labs/hospitals to have your card ready. I read the article twice , no mention of wives or 18 children , would this be you projecting your bias' again? Hmm...
