Im sure the Liberals will be looking for a positive spin on this story

Some government-sponsored Syrian refugees staying at a budget hotel in Toronto say they feel like they're "trapped in a prison" without hope due to a lack of communication, supplies and assistance. Virginia Johnson, one of two volunteers working at the hotel, joined CBC Radio's Metro Morning on Monday to speak to host Matt Galloway.
Johnson said the refugees have been at the hotel for weeks and have no idea when they will be able to leave. Some of the 85 government-sponsored refugees say they're not getting much help, and would rather go back to their refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon.

My guess is over the next few months there will be more stories like this. Did the Govt promise too much? Did these refugees expect too much?

Are they wearing red wristbands?

You mean like the ones in the UK in Cardiff?
Strange that when you go on vacation to most all inclusive resorts in Cuba, Mexico etc etc you are required to wear a wrist band

Not that I've done all inclusive but in Europe too I believe.

Not quite the same thing though. Especially as the red wrist bands followed the red door policy.

Here's an image from a refugee camp, something different from the routine sick-people-dying-of-boredom-ghastly-waste-of-humanity stuff. It speaks to the indomitability of the human spirit and the endless quest to make the eight ball off the long rail.

Not quite the same thing but not that remarkable either.

my opinion... I'd take a red door and red band for free food and lodging

But hey ho.... if you're here for a free ride and luxury then of course there are standards

About 70% of migrants who have been granted asylum in Finland have decided not to stay because the country is "too cold" and "doesn't live up to their expectations." The Liberal government in Canada had no plan on how the influx of 25,000 migrants was to be dealt with. We have had a shortage of affordable housing since the 1960s when the social housing program was cancelled. Rents in major cities such as Toronto and Vancouver are very high. Calgary says it can't find accommodation for migrant families of more than six people (this is the average, not counting others who may arrive through the family reunification program.) Layoffs are happening all over the country - for example, 4,300 at a potash mine in New Brunswick, 1000 at CN rail, 31,000 in the construction trades in Alberta on top of all the jobs lost in the oil fields. Because of the slump in oil prices and the drop in value of the Canadian dollar, food prices are rising rapidly along with the cost of any other imported products. And despite global warming, it's still cold and snowy most of the year in large parts of the country. Doesn't sound like a great place to come if you're not fluent in English or French, if you have no job, no money, low-level skills, half a dozen kids, and nowhere to stay, does it? Yet the government is trying to persuade migrants to come here. The process has stalled in some of the major cities - they can't take any more because there's nowhere to put them, not even hotels. On top of that, there are outbreaks of disease such as 'flu in the migrants housed in Edmonton (almost all of the children and about half the adults out of the 563 that landed there), chickenpox in Toronto and gastrointestinal and bacterial infections emerging. Canadians are struggling with rising unemployment and cost of living. Is it fair to either Canadians or to migrants to keep shipping plane loads here?

I can see why this could be seen as a problem in Canada. In Europe the problem is numbers that are coming, over 1 million last year, expect 2 million this and for it to double year on year, when EU countries not closing borders, effectively Europe is open to anyone getting here, is is a human catastrophe in Syria, but with conflicts everywhere in North Africa, and from Pakistan to Yemen, the outlook is more and more migrants, most will be actor goriest as refugees, these people know this and effectively we have an open policy for immigration in Europe.

How this can be prevented? Nobody knows! How this will end? I'll let you guess. Canada does not have the same problem as Europe, for Europe it will change it culturally, religiously and economically, for Canada, it's a bit of an inconvenience.

The latest news kicking around in the press this morning...
Is Europe is closing the Schengen zone and putting the borders back up (could last as long as 2yrs)


Some are suggesting that some countries are talking of suspending Greece from the Schengen zone due in part to failing to controls it border and allow the free passage of Migrants

The red door story seems to be an operational oversight, but the red wristband is a ludicrous and demeaning idea. That it was introduced by some inept council was bad enough, but once the error is highlighted, to defend it is indeed.

The horrendous part of this incident is that the accused is a 15 year old boy.
Alexandra Mezher, 22, was working alone with ten youths aged between 14 and 17 when she was attacked at the home for unaccompanied young migrants in Mölndal, near Gothenburg. She later died of her injuries in hospital.

She shouldn't have been left or working alone in the first place. True it maybe a one off incident but it makes you wonder why it happened and will it happen again.

Cheap, easy and actually hard to copy.....

This is the way things are heading...
