Canada will pay dearly for their decision. Muslims don't assimilate into a country, they stay separate. It would be best to fix Syria and let these people GO HOME.
If you want people to take you seriously you might consider offering some resources that support your claim
You ever think that maybe some of us don't care if they're not terrorists?
I don't want them over here because I know what you that backwards culture brings. Seen it first hand........no thanks
BBM~~
If you are referring to me personally as a WASP Canadian as backwards Culture..then fine. There are many in America who still believe we all live in Igloo's..So not surprised of that attitude at all
NOW, If you referring to me as a Syrian Muslim/Sunni Arab ..I will correct that assumption as I am a White Anglo Saxon Protestant who has lived in Canada over 66 years...and in those years have lived within multicultural society and worked with in a Professional Capacity too. I made it my priority to actually learn about their culture, belief systems so as to understand their POV of things. So I personally have no issues, except for maybe how the women in their culture (men rule and isolate them) are treated especially in the Health Care world.
As for your first sentence of not caring whether they are terrorists or not seals the point I was making in my post you were referring to...that is~ Have fear, dislike, maybe even a hatred attitude towards "them" Empathy towards those who have been driven out of their land, homes due to war and have been living in tents, impoverish conditions for years, is surely lacking.
Those refugees pictured were sponsored by an Armenian Church in Toronto.
Look closely at photos and their last names, I believe they are ethnic Armenians
Probably not Muslims, I think there's a bit of smoke and mirrors going on.
I'm sure the majority of the refugees will be actually Syrian and Muslim but not
the ones used as examples by the media so far.
Those refugees featured are win win for Canada, they look well groomed,
probably well educated, and should benefit Canada, and not being Muslim....
well that's just icing on the cake....
When the two tallest buildings in Toronto are knocked down by Muslim extremists taking 3000 Canadians with them, I'll take their generosity seriously.
When planeloads of Canadians are stuck in the air deemed too great a threat to allow to land in Canada we'll give you a call.....how good will your memory be?
When over 12 % of those killed in the two buildings that come down in Toronto are foreign nationals with a few of them being American.........would you expect Canada to claim it solely as an "Canadian tragedy"?
Canada suffered a designated "terrorist" attack on an aircraft in 1985. Have we ever used it in an idiotic manner to deride America's accepting Sikhs as immigrants?
There is a full-on rape crisis in European countries that opened their doors to Muslims. They largely target young white girls, their justification being that "white women are whores because they don't cover themselves properly".
But liberals can deny this all they want. These people are LARGELY responsible for rapes overall in these countries. It became such a problem in Sweden that the government had to "ask" Muslim immigrants to stop gang raping Swedish girls in the local bathhouses. Our women and our youth are being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. Anyone who could possibly defend this makes me sick

Yep, their names jumped out at me. There is estimated to be 100,000 Armenians in Syria. You might have a good point about those selected fr the article.

No smoke and mirrors intended. The thread title was about Syrian refugees. Over half of this first planeload of Syrian refugees were of Armenian descent and all had private sponsors. The passengers on the plane didn't finish being processed at the airport until well after midnight and then were bused immediately to various hotels. The following day their various sponsors either picked them up at their hotels or in the case of many of the Armenian refugees, at the Armenian Friendship Centre. Other refugees were taken back to the airport to continue their journey to other cities in Canada.
The press really had no opportunity to do interviews at the airport Thursday night and after that with the refugees scattered, the gathering at the Friendship Centre represented the best opportunity to talk to a good number of refugees. There were other news stories, but usually involved only one family. For example, one man travelled to his sponsor in Windsor where he had a very emotional meeting with two sons who had come over from Detroit to meet him.
Prior to this flight, there a have been small numbers of Muslim refugees who have arrived in various cities on commercial flights. I've read a number of news articles where they were interviewed on arrival at the airport.
As a side note about the Armenians, it is 100 years since the Armenian genocide by the Ottoman Empire in 1915. I gather that many Armenians fled to Syria as refugees to escape. I wonder how many of the refugees who came to Canada Thursday night are descendants of those refugees.
I was born in Canada, and all of my family lives there. I think it's a great country with great people but they do a lot of things wrong. This is one of them. I've lived here for 15 years, (since I was 7) and always wanted to return after undergrad. I've graduated and I'm still in America because I fear that Canada is TOO accepting and it's kindness will eventually be taken advantage of by the wrong people.
More than it has already I should say
Not judging, just curious..... How have to managed to remain in the US now that your undergrad is complete?

the horror of it 
Empathy towards those who have been driven out of their land, homes due to war and have been living in tents, impoverish conditions for years, is surely lacking.
