Many Guantanamo Bay detainees cleared of terrorist charges and slated for release have expressed a desire to live in Canada, and refugee organizations are calling for sponsors.
The Canadian Council for Refugees (CCR), a non-profit umbrella group representing several non-governmental organizations and churches, is leading the plea, which goes out to groups and private individuals alike. The ability for citizens to sponsor refugees is unique to Canada, according to CCR executive director Janet Dench, noting refugees to every other country must be government-sponsored.
With U.S. President Barack Obama signing an executive order on Jan. 22 to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, within a year, there is a heightened urgency to find homes for the 55-60 international detainees who cannot return to their home countries for fear of persecution, Dench said.

Some media reports have stated there are six detainees, including three Uighurs, who have applied for resettlement in Canada. The Uighurs are a Muslim minority group from northwestern China, many of whom have fought for independence from China.

Arctic Prison 100 miles from nowhere. They escape, they freeze to death. Or the polar bears get a snack.
Above the Arctic Circle, let em run around free, no shoes of course, but hey, they wanted their freedom right?
Seems as if this could meet oscumbo's strategic goals for the destruction of the U.S.

Fear of prosecution?? There will be parties and parades waiting for them. Heck, Al Qaeda will give back their badge numbers and personal terrorist packs if they want it.
Move the detanies next door to Sidwell Friends.
what are the Canadians going to do? Polite the terrorists until they talk? Make their eyeballs bleed with stroboscopic videos of Don Cherry’s wardrobe?
If the Canadians will just dress ‘em up like little seals, knock ‘em sharply on their heads, then just skin them dead or alive, we should give them all the terrorists we can catch. Helps us get rid of the vermin, and gives the Canadians in remote parts something interesting to do. (SARC)
They'll starve to death as they slowly sink into meskeg up to their necks, sucked dry of blood by no-see-ums and enormous clouds of mosquitos.
No-see-ums, that works for me. They are torture right there..... isn’t that against the Geneva Conventions? Bugs should be OUTLAWED!
NOOOOOO, we do not want them.
For the first time in my life-Not In My Back Yard!!!!
I like how you think
This is CBC bs....they are not going to get into Canada.
That prison would have to be free of sled-dogs. Dogs are offensive to Muslims, don’t yah know?
I see stupid people.
They’re everywhere!
You got that right. If I were wanting to wage war with the USA, would I want to go to an adjacent country with a wide-open border?
Nah. Too easy.
