Canada to fly in 900 Syrian refugees a day: reports
 

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Ottawa (AFP) - Canada plans to fly in 900 Syrian refugees a day as of next month, according to media reports, as the defense minister said showing compassion for these people sends a message to Islamic State extremists.

Canadian officials said details of a plan to take in 25,000 Syrian refugees by year's end would be announced Tuesday.

The Canadian media reports come amid fears that IS jihadists could slip into the country posing as refugees, in the wake of last week's attacks in Paris that killed at least 130 people.

Citing a leaked document, local media said the government was planning to fly in 900 Syrian refugees daily from Jordan to Montreal and Toronto, starting December 1.

From there, they would be transported to two military bases in Ontario and Quebec, where they would be temporarily housed, according to the reports. They pegged the cost of the ongoing operation at Can$1.2 billion over six years.

The cost and other details will be revealed on Tuesday, Immigration Minister John McCallum told reporters in Ottawa.

Health Minister Jane Philpott, however, said the leaked information was "outdated and not expected to be accurate."

At a security forum in the Atlantic port city of Halifax, Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan said by welcoming Syrian refugees, Ottawa was also striking at IS.

"This crisis is not just about a humanitarian project," he said in his opening remarks to military commanders and defense ministers from around the world.

"This also sends a great message to ISIS that you might create this environment for us, but we will not let you take advantage of this," he said, using an alternate acronym for the IS group.

"By doing our part for this, we are actually hitting ISIS in a different way as well."

Sajjan also sought to allay security concerns raised since the Paris attacks, saying Canada is looking to bring over the most vulnerable and families with skills that could ultimately benefit Canada, and that they pose no threat to national security.

"They're not fleeing poverty; they're fleeing war," he said. "People who are settling are going to be contributing to our economy."

there will be at least a few who slip through, guaranteed.

booga booga. live your life in fear running from shadows like a little kid.

What message exactly is it sending ISIS?

Are they going to stop blowing people up because Canada is letting a few people in for the holidays?

whatever you say dumdum. just a fact that when you fast track so many people there is going to be oversights and opportunities for these people to slip in with 'refugees'.

That they are welcome to fuck up one more continent.

Have fun Canada, this is what you idiots voted for. :thumbsup

Hey, at least they'll be able to legally buy weed while they're getting bombed :1orglaugh

There are countless reports now by every level of law enforcement agency, not just the United States, where they straight outright say they have no fucking clue how to spot a homegrown ISIS sympathizer/recruit/agent until they take action in some way, shape, or form. I don't for one minute believe that all refugees are a problem, it would be a very very very small fraction, but claiming that there is a solid refugee screening program is a feel-good gesture with no real meaning. There is nothing to screen until they have a way of reading thoughts. Then we have a whole new bag of worms opened!

Fixed.

Fuck the libtards.

i'm not the one scaring myself over shit i read on the internet or some war refugees who are just going to end up working at tim hortons.

Mark my words - this will bring problems to our communities.

Even if these 'refugees' don't blow shit up - Canadians are already pissed about the money being spent to bring them here, put them up in shelter, healthcare...etc. Meanwhile, Canadians who've been on waiting lists for affordable housing and assistance - are watching these 'people' jump the queue and take priority.

That $1.4 billion surplus the Conservatives mentioned in their last budget? A large percentage is already ear-marked for these fucking 'refugees'.

Welcome to a majority Liberal gov't. Under another Trudeau - fuck.

Let's re-visit this comment at a later date.

Thats my fellow Canadians motto, we have insane fines and all sorts of dumb Puritan bs stuff its astounding how low the testosterone is here.

i'm not scared, just being real. there is talk about building "camps" to house these people...sounds like a recipe for disaster that is just going to make them angry.

The testosterone is still here...it's just waiting.

Roots run deep.

Locally, the gov't was talkin' of using old de-commissioned hospitals to house them.

Perfect.

Let's spend a fortune re-vamping a bunch of old, abandoned hospitals for these people to congregate in. :disgust

This thread brings to mind a related question......

Why aren't native-born Canadians having enough kids to replace themselves?

This is one of the roots of the issue since immigration is viewed as the solution to Canada's labor/population issue.

No Ukrainians? As usual. Better pack up more Islamic people in.

Seriously, interesting question.

Obviously, I can only guess at answers. Economics? I really don't know.

I have two daughters. I guess I've done my part. But I can recall a time when I wasn't overly keen on having kids...my reasoning be that I'm somewhat of a fatalist and didn't want to bring kids into a world I didn't have a lot of confidence in.

There's a lot more to it - that's just an over-view.

Remember, according to liberals, islam is the religion of peace and tolerance.Only racist biggots think otherwise.Even tho

Just pure coincidence

That's not a Canadian problem. A lot of Western countries are having the same issue. Japan (pseudo-Western) is in dire straits. Germany and northern Europe are in a bind, which is why they were more open to the refugees and immigrants from the more poor European countries in general. And here in the US we have the problem of smart/successful people not reproducing.

Congrat's Canada. You are fucked, along with the rest of us...

Don't you work for a public Union? It's public unions that keep voting liberal. Obviously you did not but being part of a public Union I'm surprised you hate liberals so much.

:1orglaugh

I know you're joking. But I actually know people with this view point. Now they are scratching their head why the migrant crisis is getting more attention over legalizing weed. Hilarious really because it exists.

when standards of living raise birthrates drop. happens everywhere living standards raise. look at china.

why does Canada need a larger population in the first place? Low population with highly skilled labor sounds like a dream of a society.

On top of it Canada has an abundance of food and resources.

So the answer to the government not being able to afford the future social programs is to bring in more people and place them on social programs. :Oh crap

if you want to direct your anger at someone direct it at the politicians who look at immigration to boost their withering tax base and the businesses who need fast food and kill floor workers that are compliant and cheap.

blaming "liberals" is just a reflection if your own bias and prejudices.

There we go now we are onto some truth! :warning

Let's call it for what it is and not disguise it as some Syrian children's sad picture.

most recent immigrants i know work ten jobs at a time anyway so the idea they are just going to go on welfare is a fantasy,

ya i'm sure they work ten jobs. :helpme

God Bless Canada.

Do you really think these particular refugees will have work lined up? Lol. Of course they will be on social assistance.

:2 cents:

Fucking libtards and their parasitic agendas.

Will these guys even be able to speak read english?

I'm not unionized.

I work a third-party contract - non-union. No benefits, no retirement fund. Nothing.

Calm down and look at the bright side!!
Think of all the jobs that creates for the Canadian economy.:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

in a few years they will probably "speak read english" better than you.

they will be working ten jobs, taking night classes and saving every penny to start their own business instead of sitting around all day playing xbox and whining on a message board. :1orglaugh

It's always amusing how good anecdotes are perfectly accepted as valid and fine. Bad anecdotes are ignorant, racist, or some level of phobic.

Change your statement to something like this and we have a whole different thread:
