  3. Oh, I don’t know. Shouldn’t take any longer to check out 25,000 Syrian Refugees than an equal number of German Mennonites, right? I mean, same concerns, eh?

    if you read the liberals announcement, you’ll see that 10,000 of the 25,000 refugees are now designated “privately sponsored” and fall outside of the “women, children & families group.”
    single males can, without restriction, be “privately sponsored”. it just means trudeau et al has shifted liability for the single males onto private sponsors like church groups.
    so, if any of these single males turn jihadi, i guess you, after gathering up the corpses and washing blood, hair and teeth off the walls& ceiling… can civilly sue the salvation army & the united church.

    That wouldn’t have come from Pierrette. That would be from the much more treacherous old men behind the curtain.

    “skip says… That wouldn’t have come from Pierrette.”
    i guess you’re right.
    mister “the economy will balance itself” probably needs

  7. Good friends of ours went through administrative and financial hell to adopt two little girls from China and Ethiopia. It cost them about $20,000 and two years of bureaucratic nightmares and unbelievably intrusive enquiries per each innocent, harmless, little child.
    They are shaking their @#$%^&g heads in disbelief right now.

  8. The news report on the car radio this afternoon suggested that LGBTXYZ folks get to go to the head of the refugee line. It struck me that there might be some ramifications to that. First, we might immediately find ourselves hosting the vast majority of Syrian people of iffy orientation, or at least those who claim to be. Second, those people will probably have, in the near future, a high “suicide” rate as they attempt to merge with the already-established Mosque-ovites. Third, and we can only hope, the students of Islam already resident might hit back at the Liberals for suggesting there are LGBTetc muslim people, and vote NDP or something in retribution. Is Little Mosque on the Prairie still running?

  9. Christians out, LGBT in. How nausiatingly politically correct. Apart from that, I’m glad that they backed down in the face of reality. I can see the cabinet table and ministerial meetings where Boy Wonder is trying to push HIS promise and the grown-ups bringing some realism to the discussion.

  10. Canadians should be furious about the deception in the original promise see. Clearly, Harper was right and the Liberals look like fools. The Canadians who voted for Liberals also look like fools, but many likely won’t recognize this.

    i’m gonna go a little off-topic here… but with 50,000 canadian children currently in foster care… isn’t buying third world children a little (well actually a lot) self indulgent, to say the least? does everybody have to go all brad & angelina to feel fulfilled?
    shouldn’t charity and basic human decency begin at home?
    same thing with these refugees. we have thousands of homeless, mentally ill, mostly junkies roaming the seedier areas of toronto, vancouver, etc… but we’re gonna import 25,000 unemployable, non-english speaking adherents of a medieval cult who view us as infidels to be sacrificed to their merciless gawd.
    just askin’.

  13. A least a bit of sanity prevails finally. Reading the fine print very carefully, the now 10,000 is to include the people already processed by the CPC government. Adding these numbers to the additional quota promised during the campaign, and Chris Alexander’s numbers look very like what the Liberals are now admitting. Fine, let CBC or someone in the party media do the math on what was proposed by PMSH and Liberal’s latest plan. Seems like Harper was correct all along on this, too bad he wasn’t believed at the time.

    “martin says… the now 10,000 is to include the people already processed by the CPC government”
    hey, buddy, read slower…
    “Officials said 102 Syrian refugees have arrived since Nov. 4, which is when they started the clock on the commitment. The 3,089 resettled between July 2013 and Nov. 3 did not count toward the total.”

  15. Neo,
    At the risk of sounding callous, those third world children don’t usually come with the hassle of parents and grandparents desperately trying to stop those kids from being adopted outside of their culture.

  16. Huffihgton Post
    “The first group will be made up largely of privately sponsored refugees, whose files, in many cases, have been in the works for months as churches and other community groups moved to assist some of the most vulnerable people fleeing the Syrian civil war”
    At the very least, the numbers and claims remain ambiguous, just as they were during the campaign. Liberals may want us to believe that the quota begins in Nov 2115, reality suggests otherwise.

  17. My,my.
    Well now, isn’t this a fine mess that Justine has gotten us into.
    I just love seeing this blow up in his pretty boy face.
    Now, as far as that election we just had, I would love to have a poll that asks the question, “In light of the resent Islamic Terrorist attacks in Paris and the confirmed risks of so-called refugees, would you have voted differently in the October 17th Canadian Federal Election?”
    Of course, no polling firm would want to know or publish the results for fear of showing buyers remorse regarding the Shiny Pony.

  18. Oh, I don’t know.
    But if you want to get rid of your pseudonym, I’ll provide you with their contact info so that you can ask them that directly.

  19. ” the hassle of parents and grandparents desperately trying to stop those kids from being adopted outside of their culture.”
    A bit off topic.
    I was involved in an attempt to bring two native children into my home to live with their mother and myself.
    Her ex, his family, her family, their band, the children’s caseworker, Alberta Child services, and the gov’t of Alberta through roadblocks up at every opportunity.
    We lost.
    The children and their mom are still losing ten years later.
    Institutionalized racism based on greed and political correctness snuffed their chance at a better life.

  21. I thought it was against the Human Rights codes to discriminate based on martial status and sex (prohibition on single males). The queers took exception and now the alphabet crowd is excepted, making the discrimination now on martial status, sex and sexual preference.
    Liberals are bigots.
    Will they be sending fast fingers Svend to assess sexual preference?

    “jamie says… you can ask them that directly”
    that doesn’t address the problem though, does it? as for your contention that no canadian children are available for adoption because of aboriginal cultural bias…
    “While some figures show First Nations youngsters account for as much as 40 per cent of the children in Canada’s foster care system, the number of Mohawk children in care here is proportionate to communities off the reserve.”
    so jamie… even if I accept your argument that no aboriginal kids can ever be adopted at all, which i doubt, that still means 30,000 children in foster care are non-aboriginal. seems like a pretty hefty pool to choose from.
    i’m sure your friends are good people, but jumping over the kids in need here, to get a way cool chinese or african baby ignores a very large problem here at home, does it not?
    similarly, i suspect we could help at least a portion of 25,000 less fortunate canadians out of the misery of homelessness & addiction if we actually tried.
    but i guess refugees are sexy too.
    that was my point. you get that… right?
