As a Canadian, I agree 100%. You can be an "illegal" refugee who was dumped off the coast of Vancouver and receive more help and better benefits than any poor Canadian could ever hope for.
Canada is more concerned about looking good in the foreign press than it is about taking care of its own people.
You could be a Tamil Tiger jumping off a boat from Sri Lanka, and you would be instantly treated better than a self-employed Canadian who lost his job.
Refugees get training, education, free housing, free dental, free medication, full medical... it goes on. Actual, real Canadian citizens get none of that - unless they work for the government (the federal government is the single largest employer in Canada, btw. That`s where the tax money goes...)
