Canada considering constructing camps to house Syrian refugees
Toronto Sun ^ | Thursday, November 19, 2015 | Reuters

The spokesman confirmed the plans after the government issued a tender notice on Thursday seeking companies to build "temporary winterized lodgings for groups of 500 to 3,000 people by early December 2015 at sites to be confirmed." ---- The notice from Public Works Canada said the housing and services may be required for up to three months and that the sites must be self-contained and self-sustaining, including on-site energy, water, sewage and waste management.

One U.S. official said his understanding was that once the refugees arrived in Canada, authorities would detain them in some kind of "camp" and not release them until after a thorough vetting.

Another U.S. security official said that as far as he knew, Canada and the United States were still using identical vetting procedures for Syrian refugees, which normally take 18 to 24 months.

Canada has said most of the security vetting for the refugees will be done before the refugees arrive. But to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Jan 1. deadline, some screening will have to be done after their arrival in Canada. ---- At least six Canadian companies expressed interest in the tender notice. One of them, Sockeye Operations, said it could set up a temporary camp for hundreds of people within days, provided the government has sufficient space available.

Mike Naylor, vice president of operations at Sockeye, which builds temporary camps for oil-field workers in Alberta, said he did not expect the camps would hold thousands in a single location.

"To set up 3,000 beds in a week in one location would be pretty chaotic," Naylor told Reuters. "I'd be surprised if they went to camps that big in one location, but they might."

That’s really brilliant. These idiots would have invited the Nazis here during WW2

Put them on barges and tow them to the middle of the ocean and then call the UN.

I’m sure they’ll build them in Ottawa, right in their own backyards. Not.

Heaven help us - this idiot we voted in is even stupider than I thought.

That seems really SMART.

maybe they should call them “SMART camps” so that everyone knows just how SMART they really are.

It is patently obvious that after four years of war in Syria, after destruction of whole cities in that war, after hundreds of thousands are displaced and tens of thousands killed with no record of it, there is absolutely no chance of vetting any one of those applicants.

In 1944, we housed refugees at Fort Ontario in NYS. It’s an interesting story.

Make them the same as the ones they left in Syria. Any coward that is too chickensh*t to fight for their country doesnt deserve anything.

Trudeau is a moslem, and we’re actively working on separation of the West.

Many of us are watching the situation with moslems closely. We will not allow them free reign to plan their evil deeds.
