Yes, the crossings are unsafe and place a burden on local resources, but so what? Danger! These people are escaping marauding bands and barrel bombs, crossing seas on dinghies!

It only means we have to step up as a nation and make sure nobody freezes or gets seriously injured, and transfer some resources, funds and supports to the affected regions.

I have my receipt for charitable donations to the Winnipeg Welcome Place, do you?

Thank you fellow Canadians for showing the world that desperate families can still find shelter and refuge at the end of a long an dangerous journey.
