It is a tragedy with what is happening in the Middle East that good people must flee their homes because of madmen.
Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, bring them here. Canada needs about 50 million more people. These Syrians, for the most part are well educated, know how to work, and will bring a lot of entrepreneurial skills with them.
Two things Mr. Prime Minister:
1. Do not coddle and suffocate them with government programs as new arrivals. They will surely find their way on their own and be the better for it. They know how to survive. Let them be just normal citizens, including their children.
2. Only one five-year plan for their entry, they must live those first five years in any city except Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary - let the smaller communities benefit from their contributions.
My parents did this. They became 100 per cent Canadian. So will these Syrian refugees, and we all will be better for it.
