Canada to turn away single men as part of Syrian refugee resettlement plan
Guardian UK ^ | 23 November2015

Canada will accept only whole families, lone women or children in its mass resettlement of Syrian refugees while unaccompanied men – considered a security risk – will be turned away.

Since the Paris attacks launched by Syria-linked jihadis, a plan by the new prime minister, Justin Trudeau, to fast-track the intake of 25,000 refugees by year’s end has faced growing criticism in Canada.

Details of the plan will be announced Tuesday but Canada’s ambassador to Jordan confirmed that refugees from camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey will be flown to Canada from Jordan starting 1 December.

Speaking in Jordan on Monday, ambassador Bruno Saccomani said the operation would cost an estimated C$1.2bn (US$900m), the official Petra news agency reported. According to Canadian public broadcaster CBC, the resettlement plan will not extend to unaccompanied men.

Quebec premier Philippe Couillard seemed to corroborate that report ahead of a meeting with Trudeau and Canada’s provincial leaders where the refugee plan was high on the agenda.

“All these refugees are vulnerable but some are more vulnerable than others – for example, women, families and also members of religious minorities who are oppressed,” he said, although he rejected the notion of “exclusion” of single men.

What if the single men pair up and pretend to be homosexual couples? It would be discriminatory to ban them if they were a homosexual family.

But what about the”derivative” refugees? After the women and children arrive, what happens when they start pestering theTrudeau government for admission of husbands, brothers, sons, cousins and the old school friend of the guy who lived down the street? All of whom are healthy males between 16 and 30 years of age.

Leave it to the Canadians to come up with something sensible. Now we can say “let’s do what the Canadians are doing”!
