Geez, why do you keep reading what's not there?
How many are fleeing persecution, terror & war?
Trudeau welcomes them all.
Doesn't prioritize most needy.

Sask has welcomed approx 2000 refugees this past year. We stand ready to assist fed gov't re: anyone stranded by the US ban.
Not a tremendous fan of boasting about helping refugees by bringing them here. Just feels like an exercise in self-congratulation.
You end up saving a few of them- but what happens to the millions in the surrounding countries? They wallow in misery in the underfunded camps and watch as their best years go by them and their children miss out on education, girls being married off early as to secure at least a marginally better life. And some of them become frustrated and fall into the wrong crowd.
A better plan- and a plan that will help more people is one that ensures the camps are fully funded and that additional help reaches those not in the camps. This means that the quality of life of those in the camps isn't degraded, that the people are working as so to give them a purpose and bring them above subsistence level survival, and that their children have the resources to properly learn and gain skills.
Ensure that these people live- not just survive. And that once the war ends, they can immediately jump back into their country and help rebuild it right away.
Sure, it's not nearly as high-profile as refugees being welcomed off of planes with placards and good will, but I think it'll help more people. Yes- let those in who can't find safety anywhere, but understand that helping many people go from a bronze to a silver is better than elevating a few to a gold.
Plus- our money would go much further where the costs of living are far lower (see how so many refugees are struggling to deal with the housing market).

Nothing from Kellie Trump so far.

@EmmMacfarlane 2/3rds of Canadians want what Kellie is talking about. You've weakened a nation today. Live with your treason. Cuck. Serious.
Did Nick Kouvalis just use the word "cuck"? Is he alt-right?

Is this actually the campaign mgr of a leading candidate for Conservative leader? “Cuck”? “Treason”? Seriously, why not go the full Pepe?

Trudeau for his faults is a 'people person' and I think can read the tea leaves...I actually think he saw the victory of Trump likely...
Positioning himself as the anti-Trump could really work in his favor.
