All instances of "you" below are a collective you, not specific @ WestRifle or any other member.
Their stances on social issues are ludicrous, and their economic positions are (arguably) pretty ####ty in economic downturns, particularly as considering the environment too. Oh, and I DO want syrian refugees, lots of us (i.e. CANADIANS) do... surprise!
Hmm...not sure where you got all that from.
The vast majority (70%) of Canadians do NOT want Syrian refugees.

Have a look at what has happened in Europe. They are done, finished. Sweden is going bankrupt supporting immigrants and refugees who will not integrate into the society there. The same will happen here. We do not have jobs for Canadians who are uneducated and unskilled. What makes anyone think we will have jobs for uneducated and unskilled Syrians who come to Canada? 50 years, 100 years ago, it was different. Unskilled labourers had a lot of work opportunities here. That is not the case any more. So, we bring these people in, they can not find work, they live in poverty, they become resentful of the life they have, of the country they live in and guess what? Big trouble. The Swedes have had the most liberal and generous immigration policy in Europe for decades. Have a look on Google on what is going on there right now. It has destroyed their country. 54% of their social programs budget is spent supporting immigrants and refugees who will not integrate, who will not work and who live in government subsidized migrant ghettos.
You want to know why Australia is not taking any? Their camera crew just got attacked by migrants in "Little Mogadishu" in Sweden, so that might have been a small part of their decision.

I feel sorry for the Syrians, but flying them here by the thousands and putting them on welfare does not seem to be the answer-it certainly has not worked anywhere else.
