14 Million Refugees--Canada Bound? 14 million Middle East refugees: ...(11 million Syrians, or half the country’s population, and 2.8 million Iraqis, or a tenth of the country’s population)....Many of them will have nothing to go back to... Here at RRW (Refugee Resettlement Watch) Im wondering whether the State Department thinks 14 million refugees with nothing to go back to, rootless and dispossessed and many filled with a destructive rage beyond our comprehension, are our responsibility, a great pool of potential United States citizens. Im wondering if the resettlement agencies see a potential windfall and meat packers see cheap labor without end. God help us if so. Judy Warner Expected Canadian reaction: Elizabeth May (Leader, Green Party of Canada): Bring them all to Canada. They will enrich our culture. Multiculturalism is Canadas Great Project. Justin Trudeau (Leader, Liberal Party of Canada) : Canada is a welcoming, compassionate nation. We shouldnt worry that many of them might be terrorists, who after all, are just people who feel alienated and excluded from our society. We need to understand them. And we shouldnt call their customs barbaric. Thats too strong a word, and quite disrespectful and insulting. They are just people whose culture is different from our own, with a lifestyle that we have no right to judge. Lets fast-track their applications. Except for the Christians of course, who need to be screened. Thomas Mulcair (Leader, NDP): Bring them into the union. More members, more dues! (echoing the Canadian Labour Congress). Regularize them! Jason Kenny (former Immigration Minister): The Conservative Party is no longer a WASP party. We have an aggressive out-reach policy toward ethnic minorities. We would welcome all of these people into the Conservative fold. After all, most of them share the traditional family values which Conservatives hold dear. Chorus: Lets declare Halifax, Quebec City, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria sanctuary cities, CBS-free zones, a safe haven where they can avail themselves of all the city services, health care, education and welfare benefits that Canadian taxpayers enjoy! Canada is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants built this country. We need more immigrants. We are a rich nation with lots of room for lots of people. Conference Board of Canada, Bay Street, Fast food restaurant chains, home-building contractors, hospitality industry: Bring them in. They will do jobs that Canadians wont do. (ie. at the wages we pay them). Brad Wall (Premier, Saskatchewan): Come to Saskatchewan! Theyll grow our economy. Were open for business! Irvin Studin, Steve Lafleur: 14 million? Is that all? Canada needs another 65 million to realize its potential and fulfill its destiny! Michael Enright, CBC radio host: I agree! Come back and Ill give you another 20 minute interview and another opportunity to spread your message! Dr. William Rees, Canadas most esteemed environmentalist: We have a moral obligation to settle them here because they were displaced by climate change. And Canada is guilty of being, on a per capita basis, a huge emitter of Green House Gases. Sierra Club of Canada: Population growth has nothing to do with environmental degradation. It is not how many refugees we welcome, but how much they consume. We could take in another 14 million and the many millions they subsequently sponsor if only we would move over, densify our cities and live simply. Multicultural Industry: More funding! Immigration lawyers, social workers, ESL teachers: More clients! Higher case loads! More job opportunities! Refugee Board: More hearings!More work! More hirings! Even higher salaries for Board members! CSIS (Canadian Security and Intelligence Service): Higher budgets! More security agents! More surveillance! Tim Hortons: They can become part of our diverse workforce! Diversity Sensitivity Awareness Workshop facilitators: More native-born Canadians to educate ! A chance to inculcate the virtues of respect, tolerance and acceptance of their own displacement! Public opinion: No voice. Who cares what the majority of Canadians think anyway? Published opinion: Canada is Home to the World! CBC: We will hire them as news presenters, moderators and TV/Radio hosts----and our programming will reflect their cultural contribution to this country. Canada Lives Here.
