If you've ever watched Jerry Springer you'll know fixing other people isn't a money problem.
They are funning away because it is not a problem of their own making. Who was arming all the rebel groups (ISIS) to fight Assad? Who then destroyed any infrastructure the country had through airstrikes? Maybe we as Western society should take responsibility for meddling in other peoples countries and destroying them. The west created ISIS it did not exist before the campaign to 'bomb the middle east into the stoneage'. You can't complain that they are refusing to stay in a war zone of our creation.
Mike clearly believes all Syrians are terrorists but would never come out and actually confirm himself a biggot instead trying to hide behind stats without context and no willingness to understand the situation and why its happening.
What concerns me is the government is being purposely vague about how much of the $1.3B is going to be spent on vetting out undesirables like this guy vs. the family who owned the Shawarma place on West + Clark (the only people I know for a fact that are Syrian and can use as an example) who came here and integrated into Canadian society.
The government has done a piss poor job so far, doesn't appear to be the least bit concerned with it, and as I see it, that's the crux of the issue.

Legitimate concerns. I don't fault you for that.
I read an article a few days ago. I think it was CBC or National Post but now I can't find it. This link outlines the same general information.
Maybe it will help some who are concerned about who exactly would be coming here as a refugee.

It would be nice for once to throw money at a problem and actually fix it. Rather than half measure, stop gap and morph into a new problem. I would love nothing more than my hard earned tax debt actually give value. One thing is for certain tho whoever gets on the help the refugee band wagon of government employees will be very handsomely remunerated. That's not a problem, never was.

Is that picture you posted referring to the 3 CN rail suspects?What concerns me is the government is being purposely vague about how much of the $1.3B is going to be spent on vetting out undesirables like this guy vs. the family who owned the Shawarma place on West + Clark (the only people I know for a fact that are Syrian and can use as an example) who came here and integrated into Canadian society.

Canada, and Europe for that matter, is not culturally ready for such an influx of refugees (more so europe since they are getting a lot more). These people are going to feel segregated and angry for being displaced no matter how hard you try to show them otherwise. If I'm correct (and I'm not saying I will be), they will stick together and that hate will transcend down to their children. I'm sure there will be plenty of refugees who are happy to get out of Assad's rule regardless of the war.
Refugees aside, we can look aroind the GTA to see how segregated the cultures already are. Italians, Indians, Chinese, Jewish, etc.
Actually Mike...I've met/encountered some of the dumbest, most ignorant, most hateful, most laughably illogical people and most unchristian christians right here in Canada...recently....and I've seen a reasonable chunk of the world and still have a lot more of it to see. It's endlessly entertaining though as it definitely seems split on an educational divide and although they are boorishly loud, their populations are vanishingly small compared to the sensible ones.
I didn't follow this story closely (it's not my job) but something about this pic is off. Is one of these guys an informant? How does a visible Muslim get himself dragged onto a train bridge in broad daylight? Besides, the bomb goes below. If I were a visible Muslim I wouldn't loiter around any load bearing structures for the foreseeable future.
Don't have to be muslim, just brown. Look at the attacks on sikhs recently. I know a few people who have darker skin and are not middle eastern that have expressed concern over idiots that would lynch them... I guess in 50 years we haven't changed at all
So I should stop tanning for my trip to Jamaica?

Let 'em in. They only attack big cities. I live in a smaller city and won't be affected.
This is NOT Jihad. Real Muslims do not act this way.
It doesn't mean if the media says it is, it is.

Well the gun registry was supposed to have only cost $2,000,000.00 and it ended up costing 1000 times that, so I don't have much faith in government estimates. That being said I guess the Paris terrorists are one humongous middle finger at western generosity. And speaking of hate and rednecks and bigots, when I deal with some hard line muslims at work the men look at you with hatred in their eyes if you dare speak to their wife. In the healthcare environment please leave bigotry at the door.
So it is big business rounding up civilians and putting them in cages and drowning them in pools, cutting of their heads, packing them in cars and firing an RPG at it? If 100,000's had the will to fight a few thousand it wouldn't be a war zone.
