Last I heard the refugees aren't so keen on Canada anyway. I guess they read the forum and realise it isn't the land of milk and honey.

We're going to find out, I wouldn't be surprised to see a Syrian restaurant in Regina next year. We've got an Afghan, Ethiopian, 1 real Thai, lots of Vietnamese and Chinese, a few sushi places, a handful of Indian, a few kebab places.... as many again that are fusions of those, (we have a lot of restaurants here) and not one Syrian place. I'm going to guess a fair bit of goat and sheep cheese.
