These "handouts" are loans that they are required by law to pay back. I admire people who do private sponsorship. I wouldn't do it myself but the government can take a portion of my tax and help these people any day of the year.
where does it say that these are loans required to be paid back? These aint loans, these are free handouts to get these guys "on their feet" so they may become productive canadians in the future.

Let’s get real, the families that stayed in the sandman for 8 months and were complaining about their comfort ain’t paying back the $250 a night once they leave.

I should ask the unemployed asian kid who just moved in next door to me at my condo if my privileged white ass can wash his Huracan for extra money on weekends
All jokes aside, to all you who thinks having many kids draining tax money, think of this way.
8 kids today is 8 tax payers in 20 years.
Look no further than how doomed Japan will be in near future.
Canada will make that money back in tenfold in income tax.
When they start paying 50% in tax for every dollar they make, they are going to wish they stayed in Syria.
Ya maybe, or maybe it will be 8 more people who learned work ethic from their parents and milk the system for generations. There's no shortage of people who want to come here and actually work and not get handouts. So if Canada simply needed the population there's no problem getting it
Doesn't anyone else remember the Vietnamese gang wars of the 90s-early 2000s? Who were these guys? Mostly young male refugees and sons of refugees.
This isn't really a nationality problem. It's mostly a young male "I'm bored and I'm hot shit" problem.
Yes, I do remember those days, that was my era lol.
I was briefly watching the first few mins of a TED talk video yesterday about an ex MS 13 gang member who has left the gang talking about how the gang was formed in the first place. Newly immigrated kid in a new country, no English, no friends, bullied because he was different, then eventually met other like minded people in the same boat and the bullied eventually became the bullies.
My point is I don't or maybe I just want to believe most people just sit around and be like shiet bruh I'm bored, let's be gangstas and do crazy shit. There are often events that trigger this, doesn't make it any more right but it's more than just "i'm bored and i'm hot shit"

Me telling someone not to hate an entire culture for the actions of members that belong to it isn't equivalent to telling you to feel bad for being white.
If anything its telling you the opposite. I don't feel bad for the atrocities that white people committed over the years, however I make the choice not to commit those myself. Its actually pretty fucking easy.

You can look at the data of the previous group of refugees from the 70's/80's/90's. They have all contributed more to the Canadian economy than your average Canadian.
I don't understand why people make assumptions or only take in anecdotal evidence when we live in a world where information is so widely available. There have been numerous studies on previous groups of refugees who have entered Canada, you can find all the data online.

This isn't really a nationality problem. It's mostly a young male "I'm bored and I'm hot shit" problem.
there's also a bunch of Indo-Canadian gangs, i dont feel like the youth gangs are directly related to the refugee problem, though many of their parents were evidently selling drugs to get by sure didn't help
and even if there's a direct correlation, the worst thing is maiming each other and not affecting bystanders, far from killing a teenage girl
Came in here to read discussions about the murder.... still waiting lol
There is no news, at least until he goes to court tomorrow.
I gotta say though, the banter is great. Folks get a little restless in the forums when the authorities don't give us any new info to post.

It was the girl's and her parents' faults for allowing this to happen. There are a few different reasons for this. Firstly, as a female, why was she out of the house without supervision from a male relative? It is not proper for a woman to be gallivanting around in the streets. Next, why was she dressed in an inappropriate manner? If she or her parents had an ounce of honour, she would not be in public without at least her hair, legs, and arms covered.
