Frostbitten refugee will lose fingers, toe after 7-hour trek to cross U.S.-Canada border

Ghanaian refugee and friend became lost while crossing into Manitoba on Dec. 24

A Ghanaian refugee who almost died during a trek to cross the U.S.-Canada border into Manitoba on Christmas Eve will lose all of his fingers, a toe and possibly his arms.

"It's very bad news," Seidu Mohammed, 24, told CBC News in an interview at a Winnipeg hospital where he is being treated for severe frostbite. "I don't know what to do right now."

This is in contrast to American's who arrive in July with snowmobile suites and ski's on. Another hilarious site.

[MrEdd]

Cool story bro.

[DesertRhino]

He stopped being a refugee the minute he was in a safe country. He’s an illegal immigrant, nothing more.

[Moltke]

"I don't know what to do right now."

Twiddle your thumbs while they're still there?

[Boogieman]

Better start learning to drive a cab with stumps.

[Mr. Lucky]

He must have lost his brains in an earlier incident.

[ozaukeemom]

No, he will be on full disability and never have to work a day and never have paid into it.

[Cowboy Bob]

Who is paying this idiot’s hospital bills?

[originalbuckeye]

Uh, Canada has Socialized Medicine.

[Moltke]

Do they make those steering wheel attachments with holes instead of knobs?

[Cicero]

What, no one sent him any Virgins to keep him warm?

[SecondAmendment]

Time to build a wall up north next, since as soon as the southern border is sealed up, the illegals will sneak in from Canada next ...

.
Sad thing is that government likely will buy his cab, and pay for his re-training.

[Ray76]

Don’t be a sneak.

[Ray76]

Awesome.

"I don't know what to do right now."

Die?

[Palio di Siena]

I don’t know what to do, he said offhandedly.

[RaginRak]

should have stayed in warm Ghana

[Alberta's Child]

This guy could have learned a lesson from the newly-enrolled foreign students from Nigeria at the University of Alberta who didn't show up for their first day of class because it was too cold out. As the faculty member who told me that story said: "It was the day after Labor Day and it was 50 degrees outside."

Traveling north of Minnesota in the winter is like going south of hell in the summer.
