Mayor Moonbeam at it again... The whole world seems to have gone crazy in front of the Syrian refugees. Europe blindly opened the floodgates and now we here in Vancouver should take and house thousands upon thousands of refugees from a conflict we have nothing to do with???
We cannot help everyone and currently we are failing to help even our own weakest people. This madness has to stop.
Quote:
A public forum will be held on Tuesday night to discuss Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson’s plan to open Vancouver into a ‘sanctuary’ for Syrian refugees.
In a release, Robertson says he will submit a motion to City Council to formally call upon the federal government to accept 20,000 government-sponsored refugees each year by 2020.
Robertson is critical of the Conservative government’s stance given that the federal government has historically taken a lead role in the organization of sponsorships and resettlement of refugees fleeing from a crisis.
