As much as I’d like to say you’re wrong, the cynic in me knows better… we have fallen from where we once were. Too many people will just turn their backs on this.

It’s not just Canada.

It’s the world and everyone in it.

There are no longer any shining cities on the hill… the only ones that exist guard their light jealously by raising walls up to the sky so that nothing of it can be seen.

Stephen HarperTony Abbot also spoke yesterday on the Syrian refugee crisis and, because he is Canada’sAustralia’s answer to Richard NixonGeorge W Bush, lied through his teeth in order to provide a sense of righteousness to CanadianAustralian voters. Using misleading metrics he pretended that CanadaAustralia takes in a disproportionately high number of refugees, which it does not – and then, of course, he explained that the crisis just demonstrates how necessary Canada’sAustralia’s participation in the military action against ISIS is, because so far as HarperTony is concerned everything demonstrates how Canada’sAustralia’s participation in the military action is terribly important, down to and including his breakfast grapefruit.

Oh, look how easy it is to swap Canada for Australia currently.

and as much as I dislike Stephen Harper I do in fact believe that he feels awful about this.

Ahh, here we have a clear difference, because I honestly don’t believe that Tony Abbott gives the slightest damn about any human being other than himself, and just maybe his Dark Lord and Lady, Gina Rinehart and Rupert Murdoch.

Even then, it’s probably more about how they can affect his pitiful hide than any actual affection.

That said, based on your post, Canada is still better off than Down Under, because you don’t have such winning human beings in government as Senator Eric ““Christians are the most persecuted group in the world, and especially in the Middle East” Abetz and Cory “The father sent them on that boat so the father could get dental treatment. They were in no fear, they were in no persecution and they were in no danger in Turkey.” Bernardi.

Look Bernardi in particular up if you want to feel ill.

To be fair Turkey is pretty safe unless you think just because it’s brown there a war over there

@ratman:

Pretty safe. Unless you happen to be a child trying to sell tissues to people to pay the rent on the fetid hole where you and your family live.

Still, not being shot at, so much safer than Syria.

MGK, what do you make of this video of Chris Alexander being interviewed about the crisis? I don’t know much about him or the CBC. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/chris-alexander-immigration-syria-refugee-crisis-conservatives-1.3213514
