We can only hope! Unfortunately, they'll probably just move somewhere else in Canada.

In order to come here they had to sell "assets"(John McCallum) before they could leave. On arrival I saw people that were well dressed, in good physical condition with much luggage and upscale accessories. Better dressed than the goods being handed out by the PM for "disgusting" photo ops. The position of govt was that this initial group of "refugees were vetted and sponsored by Canadian groups.<br />As a sponsor of a family a certain amount of pre arrival screening of the sponsoring group must have taken place. I recall seeing on Toronto TV a Catholic family group fawning over their sponsored family group and the fund raising efforts to support this group as the govt did not supply adequate resources for a new arrivals. Where are the BC sponsors? A family of six does not work well in a 1 one bedroom basement apartment. <br />I am certainly not in favour of importing people that tend to want the same lifestyle they left behind. I do have an islamaphobic attitude in that I see certain behaviours that do not integrate well into Canadian society. Adopting practices that accommodate religious or cult activity that interfere with my Canadian identity. Example: providing prayer space in public schools or altering job practices to accommodate the phobia against certain products. Kicking my dog is NOT acceptable. <br />M.BuckleySaler Sahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974302535257226244noreply@blogger.com
