We are going to send Planes and boats to PICK UP AND BRING 12,000 here, we have a 1/3rd of the taxpayers which means we are Paying almost twice as much per person to resettle that number.

true, but you are insufferably smug...get ready for your tax bill sunshine....its gonna sting.....


the source of ALL your Complaints come down to the Incompetence of British/Europeans to dealing with anything any sort of disruption to 'tradition'

Australia's corporate income tax rate is 30%, but tax credits bring that down to a median 22% for domestic and multinationals (MNCs).

UK multinationals and domestic companies have a 30% statutory corporate income tax. But after deductions, the total tax burden for domestics is around 20% and MNCs around 24%.

Not Like Guys don't deserve it.
Every bit of it is deserved, our smugness is revenge and they best revenge is a good life.

Proof Beyond doubt that UK and Europe is Racist and living in last century.
'drunk racist' from a person from England? that is irony at it's best.

You guys are so Insular You cry about 'huge level of migration' that are a third of what place like Australia are used to.

sassy wrote:A young boy runs through a field carrying a Canadian flag, the sun lit behind him as the country’s red and white national colors flap in the wind. Above the photo, large text reads, “Welcome to Canada,” with the Arabic transliteration below: Ahlan wa sahlan. “Welcome.”



This is the cover of Thursday’s Toronto Star, Canada’s largest-circulation newspaper, as the country prepares to welcome the first tranche of Syrian refugees in the newly elected Liberal government’s resettlement program. The front-page photo is accompanied by a heartfelt editorial welcoming the freshly arrived Syrians and briefing them on life in Canada.




“You’ll find the place a little bigger than Damascus or Aleppo, and a whole lot chillier. But friendly for all that. We’re a city that cherishes its diversity; it’s our strength,” reads the editorial. “It’s been a long trek, but you are no longer refugees. Your days of being strangers in a strange land are over.”


Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who plans to meet the refugees as they arrive, told the House of Commons on Wednesday that the first plane carrying more than 160 refugees was expected to land from Beirut at 9:15 p.m. Eastern Thursday at Toronto’s international airport. A second plane is scheduled to carry more refugees from Beirut to Montreal on Saturday.


“Resettling refugees demonstrates our commitment to Canadians, and to the world, that Canada understands that we can and must do more,” Trudeau said during the question period in Parliament.



Trudeau’s government committed to resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of February next year, with 10,000 set to arrive by the end of this year. Canadian Immigration Minister John McCallum told reporters at a news conference Wednesday that 11,932 refugee applications were already being processed in Lebanon, Jordan, and Turkey — the three countries with the largest populations of Syrian refugees. In preparation for the influx of newcomers, temporary processing centers have been set up at airports in Montreal and Toronto as Canadian authorities transition refugees into permanent housing across the country.



The first wave of Canada’s resettlement program comes as anti-Muslim rhetoric continues to rise in the United States in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California. On Monday, real estate mogul and Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump proposed “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”


Trump’s comments have been met with both outcry and support in America and mark a major political shift as the nature of Islam, and Muslims in general, becomes one of the domineering topics of the U.S. election cycle so far. A new poll released Wednesday by the Washington-based Brookings Institution found that “American views of Muslims are strikingly partisan.” According to the poll’s findings, 67 percent of Democrats express favorable views of Muslims, contrasted with only 41 percent of Republicans. When asked about Islam in general, 51 percent of Democrats view the religion favorably, compared to 27 percent of Republicans.



Canadians generally have more positive views. Polls in September found that three-quarters of Canadians wanted to accept more refugees into the country. However, a November poll conducted after the Paris attacks and the announcement of the Liberal government’s new policy saw a drop in support, with 51 percent opposing Ottawa’s measures.



Trudeau had made the 25,000-refugee target an important element of his campaign platform as early as last March and doubled down as Canada’s October election approached. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper of the Conservative Party had maintained a hard line on Syria refugees, claiming national security was more important than the humanitarian crisis. However, popular sentiment began to shift after the photo of a dead Syrian toddler, who had washed ashore in Turkey as his family began to make their way to Canada, grabbed international headlines in September. Yet Harper did not change his tone, deriding the use of the niqab, or Islamic face veil, during a debate and railing against the dangers of Muslim immigration. Trudeau and other Harper critics seized upon this, describing the Conservative leader’s statements as un-Canadian.



In the wake of the Paris attacks that killed 130, the Trudeau government has slowed — but not discarded — the refugee policy that originally planned to bring 25,000 Syrians to Canada by Jan. 1, 2016.

It happens about once a week...I'll hear a big ladder truck accompanied by a Paramedic wagon blaring up the lonely, wooded road we live on, and stopping in front of his place.

Nurse in my doctor's office says it's a regular part of their service to go out and pick up seniors who have fallen.

They'll hardly be noticed.

What a waste of resources. He should just look where he's going and stop getting drunk.

Good for them Quill. I hope they don't get bombed, knifed or terrorised.
I hope that the refugees behave better than they did in Germany.

Most were objecting to young men arriving alone.

Don't take this the wrong way sassy but you live somewhere that isn't affected by overcrowding and trouble.
And please don't quote me figures and fact sheets about how many refugees per square foot we have in Britain bla blah becaeue that means nothing!

When you live a life that is affected by housing shortages and school places and suchlike, then you might have a glimmer of why people get agitated.

Where I live - or should i say recently moved to - isn't heavily populated by refugees or Eastern Europeans and guess what? I can actually go shopping in my local beautifully quaint high street and I love it! No pickpockets and no polish shops every other shop.
I'm not ashamed to say it's a refreshing change from the shithole I moved from that changed within ten years from okay, to squalid, and where I was becoming a minority.

If that happened to your area I think you'd be growing more quiet in your fervent desire for "more" immigration!
