OTTAWA -- Conservative Leader Stephen Harper cited security concerns on Tuesday for his refusal to commit to doing more to help refugees from the Middle East.
As provinces pledged their own funds to help alleviate the crisis, Harper deflected a question about whether he would send more staff to the region to help an already over-stretched bureaucracy.
Security is paramount and every potential refugee needs careful screening, Harper said.
"We cannot open the floodgates and airlift tens of thousands of refugees out of a terrorist war zone without proper process," Harper said in a Facebook question and answer session. "That is too great a risk for Canada."
Screening refugees is partially done through data such as digital photographs, fingerprints and other biometric data. Visa officers in Beirut began using biometrics in November 2014 but struggled to get going, according to documents obtained under Access to Information....

I love Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. And I have always wanted to visit the former republic of Yugoslavia.
Another tragedy from the “do gooders” was the breakup of Yugoslavia.
I went to Europe once, buy it was a quick trip through England, France & Italy....must say Rome was amazing. Especially going to the Colosseum.
I didnt mean “you” personally. I should have pointed that out.
That’s alright. You brought up a valid point. Anyone who does this needs to take into account their ability to protect themselves.....lol, I’m too over the hill to leave at this point.
Canada already has too many Muslims and he knows it.
Canada has too many Muslims, and by the time Obama is done, we’ll have way too many.
Western separatist since the 90’s. If Americans knew about Canada’s real DIRTY SECRET of it’s existence in the form of equalization payments, they’d make a mockery of the country. Hell, I was born in Sask. God if You knew how much i prayed that QC would secede in 95 so it would be over with...
The Balkans as one sage said, maybe it was Lawrence Durrell, were like trying to balance kittens on a tray.
I tried to get into Croatia once, but they could not guarantee the air space was safe. I think I lost that pocket of time once again. Yugoslavia, I hardly knew ye.
The work of the Romans, show they were titans among men.
This is a manufactured "crisis" just like our southern border only the consequences are worse.
Rome was my favorite city. Love Paris & London of course.
That reminds me that Trump likes to present himself as a tough guy but he has not mentioned how he will handle the UN should he become POTUS. He will probably kiss UN ass as U.S. presidents since Truman have done.
>I had a girlfriend move there, Australia, this spring, their winter. She became pregnant with twins....<

I would definitely not have admitted that.
Stephen Harper aka Captain Obvious. The ISIS leadership on numerous occasions have stated they would use these migrants as both a psychological weapon against the west and to sneak through their operatives. It’s almost like the people who were shocked when Hitler did everything he said he would do. The same deal with Iran and its stated intentions. I for one won’t be shocked when they do exactly what they said they will do. They aren’t western politicians who do the opposite of what they say.
If I thought I could have the self-defense ability I have here, I’d consider it. Course I have family here that kinda needs me.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Will be a disaster for the US as well. It's a European problem, if refugees are a serious problem they should take military action to stabilize the region.
I read the article, but I want them ALL moved out!!
I don’t want muslims, mexicans, latinos, venzies....
I only want people who went thru the American classes to pass the citizenship test and take the oath to become and uphold American way of life...
That life being, getting a job, buying or renting a place to live, using public transportation if they can’t afford a car of their own...having their own health insurance for them and their families...
If they can’t do that, then stay out of America...this is the way it’s always been done, this is the way it should be done...if you want to come to our schools, become a citizen first, graduate then go into the field you have graduated from and live like normal American citizens...or leave..
We do NOT cave into your ideas if you don’t like this or you don’t like that...its OUR country, you live here because it is OUR country or you leave...simple....
So pack your bags free loaders, spongers, uninvited scum and leave, we don’t want you here!!!
Don’t the Chi-coms have entire cities that stand empty? Send ALL the “refugees” there. They need the population.
On the other hand, I don’t know if people in the west would like the I-Phones they would build.....with the built in time bomb thingy.
