L.O.L....gotta love CANADA

more if we send them back like everyone else instead of doing the leagle means of entering

and even with that said, why should be donate so much time and effert to ensure there sucess there after breaking the law?

My tax dollers could be put to better use then that

I would perfer if they started on the street and work there way up rather then handed a free card, If they are wanting to be a part of our society, they can and will do that if they have to.

Was she raped, beaten, robbed, shot at or mutilated with machetes before escaping? A great many of the people escaping on this boat were. That is no exaggeration.

Let us not lose sight of the fact that these are real people who have been through a real, unimaginably horrific ordeal.

Ha, I always get these sort of emails from my Gramps. Old men love to complain about how wrong things are today! Obviously, it's an exaggeration on all fronts. Literally nothing there to take seriously.

I think one point that is often missed by people is that if these people really are genuine refugees (and it seems they probably are), then they are breaking no Canadian laws. A refugee is entitled to make his or her way here by any means neccesary, but then must immediately claim refugee status. This is exactly what they did.

The law is written this way because there is little other alternative than to turn our backs on these unfortunate people and leave them to their fate.

To the starter of this thread: No offence intended to you with my postings. I know you only meant it as a light post. But the subject matter is one that I found hard to leave that way.

A jacket is better then underwear

I would have to agree with TomC, which is related to the recent incident. Those people did suffer a lot and making fun of them or criticising them is not really a good thing to do.

There is speculation of some "law breakers" hidden in the mass, but just because there are a few wolves hidden, doesnt mean that everyone needs to be damned.

I am proud to be Canadian because we DO help people in need (unlike most other countries). This is one main thing that seperates us from our "neighbours".

All of us here care about our fish and spend $ to keep them healthy and happy, so, why are we not thinking of the well being of the people who came to us for help? They came here asking for refuge because they already lost everything and they suffered a lot. They are NOT terrorists who are coming in to invade Canada and take our fishes away from us. If someone thinks like that, then know that its called "Paranoia".

This is my strong belief. Feel free to flame me on this

I am not sure why an intended joke had to pin down on recent events in a negative manner.

...btw hey TIGER it was Steve ( rescuepenguin )that refereed to it being possibly an american....gotta give credit where credits due .

My bad

Sure you are....I can't wear my jackets that are 23 years old. You're saying you're as fit as when you were 27.

Being a "white" 4 th generation canadian married to a 1st generation immigrant I have a maybe slightly different view on this and my thoughts are we should allow these people in but they should be screened, xactly as they are right now and if they are deamed to be legitimate refugee's let them stay - NO ONE works harder than these refugee's heck they take the nasty jobs no one else wants and they do it with smiles on thier faces take a drive down main and hastings or thru walley what do you see - cracked out white people, you dont see any immigrants there now do you !
