Canada preparing winter shelters as migrant wave continues

Montreal (AFP) - Canada expects migrants to continue border jumping from the United States for many more months, and officials said Friday they are readying temporary accommodation to deal with the surge through winter.

A harsh winter is around the corner, and the government launched an urgent call for the winterized mobile homes.

Many of the more than 7,000 migrants who crossed on foot from the US state of New York into Canada's Quebec province since July 1 have been housed in tent cities near the border set up by the military.

Others were put up at Montreal's Olympic stadium and other venues until better accommodations could be found.

"These tents do have heaters, but we also have a very, a very cold winter in this country," said Transportation Minister Marc Garneau, who is also chairing an emergency task force to deal with the surge in asylum seekers.

"And so we are, as a precautionary measure, looking at the possibility of trailers... which have a more robust capability to be able to house people in colder conditions."

Temperatures in eastern Canada dropped to 6 degrees Celsius (43 Fahrenheit) at night at the end of August and could fall further in the coming weeks.

If you go to Canada you have to look out for Polar Cats.

They eat people.

Canada could set up a refugee center in the Yukon and then ship all refugees there. Once winter comes (yeah, okay, it never really leaves) — problem solved. ...of course, future archeologists might mistake the frozen bodies for native mammoth hunters.
