Canada to turn away single men as part of Syrian refugee resettlement plan
The Guardian ^ | 11-23-2015 | Unattributed

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.

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.

Québec 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....

I’ve thought the best response to Obama’s claim that Republicans were scared of “widows and orphans” was to tell him we would take him up on that. Widows and orphans and no males between 14 and 50. No family reunification either. Five year limit and returned home.

“$36,000 PER PERSON to fly them to Canada?”........

They can’t be serious. Better buy some stock in those airlines, profits gonna be off the charts.

Then again, maybe the U.S. will pay Canada to make those flights. Nothing would surprise me.

Prime-time jihadi scumbags, without a doubt, and a caution to what can go horribly wrong. They did, however, gain entry to the US on tourist visas, and then lied and claimed to be "refugees" once they got here.

I wonder how many “refugees” our filthy-rich Middle-Eastern allies like Saudi Arabia have welcomed to their countries?

50,000?

100,000?

1,000,000?

What could be better?

No “cultural adjustments” for hosts or guests.

No hurt “feelings”.

Very conveniently, the correct answer is “none.”

Because, you see - like the unfrozen caveman lawyer - they have no word for “refugee,” and hence, they can’t understand what a refugee is.
