How do you argue against this wool-headed, feel-good, hand-wringing article. We budget for a specific number of refugees and a specific number of immigrants. These numbers are what we deem to be both affordable and from an integration point of view - workable. What is never reported in the mainstream media is that a good number of Syrian refugees didn't really want to come to Canada - we were their last choice and in some cases, they had to be coaxed. Let's not lose track of what a refugee is SUPPOSED to be - someone to whom we can offer safe haven until such time as they can return home - or find a home that is well-suited to their needs.
