Support my proposal, bro. We're on the same page.

Would if I was in a position to help financially like that - currently in my second year of law school with 60,000 student loans. I help in ways that are within my means - if (hopefully when) I become a successful lawyer, I'd be a position to help out directly with finances.

To be honest, I think we should take at least 2 million refugees. 

I think each one of us who posts here in this thread, if we make a pledge to take in one family each, would make a big difference. Just saving up on not buying Canucks ticket and just support the refugees will do it, I think. Who's with me? 

How about we send you to Syria so you can fight for them as well as support them?

That's not a nice thing to say . To. Be honest I'm nervous about taking in somebody myself as somebody might Jihad my ass but I'm just trying to do the right thing.

No it's really just the USA being the main contributer in this situation, therefore they should take in the most refugees.

Ho many is Russia taking? Howl many would there be if Assad had been left to deal with this all on his own (barrel bombs, gas attacks etc)? 

Easy to blame the US, and they certainly are a player but to lay this at their feet is overly simplistic.

[Stanky Legs]

I think it's hypocritical to say yes, we support refugees unlike the Islamiphobic people in the forum but we don't put in our own personal money.

Both parties, pro or anti pay the same tax, so what makes one different from the other when it comes to supporting the refugees.

If Harper had doubled the stated intake of refugees, the mainstream media would have been in an uproar, but since we've got Prince Justin Zoolander, its all good!

Myself personally, I wouldn't allow a single one of these people who aren't capable of holding 8 lbs of steel and wood and cleaning up their own backyard.

Except...he promised to bring in 15,000.....what's 10,000 more?

Not a fan of this at all I don't know why we are obligated to take in all these refugees.. It's the Canadian thing to do.. What happens when a terrorist kills innocent people. Just imagine if that happend to your family member I wonder if your view would change. Why not help the poor and homeless in Canada.

That's a good idea.

When do you plan on accepting a homeless person in to your home again?  Or plan on going out and adopting a child?  A vet?

 

Just so we're clear, there are literally HUNDREDS of programs available for the homeless in this country..  Easily found via simply typing homeless assistance canada or homeless assistance [insert province here]

 

We are trying to help the homeless.  The grating thing is people saying "lets help the homeless" without actually ever doing just that

I got 2 kids and a wife load of debt at the moment.  I can't help anyone more than I already am by donating time, clothing materials and donating art/prints and my camera and expertise towards worthwhile ventures to raise money to help.

 

Monetary assistance is out of my ability.

Trudeau is an idiot and when one of these 'refugees' turns out to be an ISIS terrorist and blows up a school bus or something similar, people will realize. Fact is, 13% of Syrian Refugees have a positive view towards ISIS. This fact cannot be ignored, and any of you Libs saying otherwise are just the PC police.

So I say to the guy who is obviously a bastion of morality and sound thought and completely unbiased judging from his go trump profile picture.

 

Picture this.

 

1,000,000 babies starving to death in a giant room.  There is a chance 1.3 percent of them will possibly grow up to be a terrorist.

 

Do you

• Let them all starve to death in this room
• Shoot them all
• Help them all

Because straight up, that is the ratio and chance of something bad happening.  We are canadian, we are human beings and we helped cause this mess in part by dropping bombs.  Fact is, we owe it to ourselves, our past as a country and our continued future as a bastion of good will and leadership to help starving families who need help.

 

But then hey.  I have always wanted to help those in need.  even if it means just a fraction less for me, because I am lucky enough to have food, a home, a stable income and some aren't

 

So what would you do? (i ask knowing he's already loading his gun and walking in to that room full of babies)

[Electro Rock]

We should take every Middle Eastern refugee we can!

I mean, we can only look to Western European countries like France to see that allowing these people in in big numbers carries many benefits!

In our day and age - social media opinion actually has strong sway in the political realm. Just because we all pay the same taxes (which we don't) doesn't mean we all support the refugee situation equally. Spreading your positive voice on social media is a level of support that many anti-refugeeists would never do, so that alone is supporting them.

Glad that you check your facts before posting ridiculous comments. 6/7 of the terrorists from the Paris attacks were EUROPEAN NATIONALS. The last guy had a stolen Greek passport and his origin is unknown (but could be Syria). The point is that you're much more likely to die from a Canadian sympathizer than a member of ISIS masquerading as a refugee. 

Chill out, stop spreading false hate.

3750 out of 25000 Syrian refugees that Trudeau is letting walk into this country have likely sympathy towards ISIS... Let's say 2% actually act on it or are ISIS set 'refugees' (Could be more). That's 75 Jihadis Trudeau is letting roam free into this country, who could easily pull something similar to Paris in Canadian streets. Do you really want to put your wife and kids at extra risk? Or someone from your family who could potentially be in a place where one of these attacks happen? Until it actually happens to you, your liberal mind will continue to cloud your judgement... I feel for you. Sometimes, being tough and caring about people inside your own country rather than people who could potentially come and massacre us one day is the right thing to do.

Yeah. BE AFRAID.

 

 

Doesn't matter that you're far more likely to die several other ways, foreign people are SCARY.

I'm not afraid. I don't live in Canada anymore... (or the US). I just care about the people back in my country. Nothing to do with fear.

If that were true you'd be putting your concern and effort into the things that are actually more likely to kill the people you care about.

Until autonomous cars are the regular on the road, driving is going to give you a decent chance of crashing and getting killed. Simple as that. Cancer? Millions upon millions of dollars has been put towards it for a cure. I believe there is one, but it's being held by the world's elites and won't be released any time soon. Natural disasters? First word in that sentence... Can't reduce them.... Naw.. I'll criticize letting 25000 Syrians and then 50000 into this country with minimal background checks and monitoring. It's the 'liberal way', and the 'liberal way' is 99% of the time wrong.

75 Jihadis?

 

Say, where do you live my man?

 

I live in the Okanagan here in BC myself.  Nice place, great outdoorsy type place with nice wines and views.

 

But vancouver isn't bad either, except the killings.  To date as of the end of November vancouver BC suffered a total of 15 culpable homicides, 16 attempted murders and of the motor vehicle fatalities (13 total) 8 were caused by drunk drivers with another 11 deaths by motor vehicles unsolved.

 

http://vancouver.ca/police/Planning/201511D.pdf

 

So to add that up, including the 11 unknown MVA fatalities and dui fatalities.  That is a total of 23 murder/dui related deaths, 16 attempted, another 4 murders unsolved, include the hit and run deaths unsolved and that brings us to, we have half count em half the body count in dead that we would have if the 75 "jihadis" rings true.  Assuming of course the mandatory 2 years they've spent in Europe being investigated and scouted by european security agencies before being further vetted and scouted by our own immigration and security officials; actually make it to Canada.

 

And that is over 30 just in vancouver alone, if we include the Kelowna sized areas of canada that is over 70 total cities this is happening in.

 

You're REALLY going to try to be all heavy handed and claiming 75 potential angry terrorists are going to cause more damage than we are doing to ourselves?  They're the threat?  Have ya frigging been to Surrey lately?

 

What a childish argument.  My daughter stands a better chance of dying to a peanut related allergy (to which she is not allergic) than she does even seeing let alone being killed by a terrorist in her lifetime.

 

So please, this defense first bs, this endless fear and pathetic reasoning needs to stop

You care about us...yet you support Trump for president judging by your profile image.

 

Trump as president would be more danger to canada than 75 terrorists because he'd go to war with every body leading to economic and humanitarian ruin for anyone involved which sadly, we would have to be due to security and trade obligations.
