Let me enlighten many of the rat racers in this forum that Canada is ISIS, we helped create it and that is our national foreign policy.
To repeat, we as a country created terrorist to rape and murder their way to topple Assad which would obviously soften up an coup d'etat for the ZioAmerican empire.
Some wont believe this but the news has made Canadian national news outlets.... http://www.revscene.net/forums/70559...unds-isis.html
The Canadian government was caught red handed but publicly they have responded to such events as "national security" and have not acknowledged creating ISIS.
This is like accusing Tom Cruise of child pedophilia, and for him not to deny it... but say... no comment or that is a personal matter.
So with that established... I guess Canadians in this forum wouldnt mind paying atleast 10% of their paychecks for, 10-50 years, to compensate the country of Syria for importing terrorist into their country? Discuss.

Lower level members of ISIS who go "rogue", if you will, are the by products of the risk the empire takes in creating these groups. (Thats not to say this has actually happened as false flags have been the norm when it comes to terror attacks in the west.
Even the BBC confirms that the last Paris shooting with the police man shot in the head was faked. [Can track down the video clip on demand])
The NWO kills a million people in North America alone through long-term toxic products that it allows on the market... so a few hundred people here and there of a legitimate terrorist attack is a small price to pay for these overlord psychopaths.
Never forget 911.

the govt's job is to enact the will of the people, and the people have spoken
Here's a study done by the Centre for Immigration Studies http://cis.org/High-Cost-of-Resettli...stern-Refugees Quote:
As Americans continue to debate what to do about the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East, this analysis attempts to estimate the costs of resettling refugees from that region in the United States. Although we do not consider all costs, our best estimate is that in their first five years in the United States each refugee from the Middle East costs taxpayers $64,370 — 12 times what the UN estimates it costs to care for one refugee in neighboring Middle Eastern countries. The cost of resettlement includes heavy welfare use by Middle Eastern refugees; 91 percent receive food stamps and 68 percent receive cash assistance. Costs also include processing refugees, assistance given to new refugees, and aid to refugee-receiving communities. Given the high costs of resettling refugees in the United States, providing for them in neighboring countries in the Middle East may be a more cost-effective way to help them.
Among the findings of this analysis:
On average, each Middle Eastern refugee resettled in the United States costs an estimated $64,370 in the first five years, or $257,481 per household.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has requested $1,057 to care for each Syrian refugee annually in most countries neighboring Syria.
For what it costs to resettle one Middle Eastern refugee in the United States for five years, about 12 refugees can be helped in the Middle East for five years, or 61 refugees can be helped for one year.
UNHCR reports a gap of $2.5 billion in funding that it needs to care for approximately four million Syrians in neighboring countries.
The five-year cost of resettling about 39,000 Syrian refugees in the United States is enough to erase the current UNHCR funding gap.
The five-year costs of resettlement in the United States include $9,230 spent by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within HHS and the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) within the State Department in the first year, as well as $55,139 in expenditures on welfare and education.
Very heavy use of welfare programs by Middle Eastern refugees, and the fact that they have only 10.5 years of education on average, makes it likely that it will be many years, if ever, before this population will cease to be a net fiscal drain on public coffers — using more in public services than they pay in taxes.
It is worth adding that ORR often reports that most refugees are self-sufficient within five years. However, ORR defines "self-sufficiency" as not receiving cash welfare. A household is still considered "self-sufficient" even if it is using any number of non-cash programs such as food stamps, public housing, or Medicaid.
Refugees are admitted for humanitarian reasons, not because they are supposed to be self-sufficient, so the drain on public coffers that Middle Eastern refugees create is expected. However, given limited resources, the high cost of resettlement in the United States means careful consideration should be given to alternatives to resettlement if the goal is the help as many people possible.
| of course what use are facts and statistics when one can just throw out accusations of racism and bigotry?

people don't want syrian refugees here for very legit reasons, none of which is that they're syrian. they could be martian or venusian it wouldn't matter.
accusing anyone who doesn't support mass syrian refugee emigration of racism is simply |

accusing anyone who doesn't support mass syrian refugee emigration of racism is simply | I believe you stated in an earlier post your views about Islam. The majority of these refugees are Muslim (though of varying levels of devoutness).
Most of the stuff I'm seeing online - whether it's here, on social media, or news website - has little to do with the cost that these refugees pose. The opposition is mostly due to fear - fear of Muslims and fear of Arabs in general. If these people were white and Christian, no one would care.
If you're employed and raising a family, chances are you're not going to spend your spare time thinking about how to commit terrorist acts. The more of a stake you have in society, the less you will think about trying to destroy it. The terrorists in Paris were naturalized Europeans, but because of the racism and exclusion over there, they were susceptible to radicalisation. The problem is not religion or where these people come from - the problem is a failure of integration.

and that's one of the main arguments against the refugees. you can see that across europe alot of these immigrants are refusing to integrate into society.

That's are new defense minister. In France he would not been allowed to go to public school, become a police officer, join the military and become a big asset to the Canadian and American military and become the minister of deference because of his Turban.
In Canada refugee's and immigrants thrive. 1.3% of people in Canada speak Punjabi but 6% of the people in parliament speak Punjabi making it the 3rd largest language on the hill. Punjabi now third language in the House | hilltimes.com
Check out the Lalji family from Ugandan refugees in the 70's to one of the richest family's in Canada worth billions and who employ thousands of people. From Ugandan refugees to Ottawa's new landlord - The Globe and Mail
Refuges and immigrants have given back way more than they have taken.

Thing is, we aren't talking about Punjabi Hindus or Sikhs, they will all be predominantly Muslim. Who, as far as I can tell are about the least tolerant of outside religions/cultures as anyone. (Insert Deep South Christian comments here)
Also to play devils advocate again, everyone is pointing to the terrorists as being French/Belgium nationals. Yea, however they are all first generation nationals. Every single one of them I've read about has parents who came from the same regions in question.

Harper made a big deal out of the niqab thing in the election. Trudeau made the expedited admittance of the 25,000 one of his election promises.
Trudeau took a solid majority, and Harper slunk away with his tail between his legs.
Election results > opinion polls. Governments don't operate on opinion polls.
