"Absolutely no need for them to be brought here".

Except, of course, for basic human values of empathy for innocents whose's live has been utterly wrecked by political forces way beyond their control. Of course, it may be hard for many Canadian to empathize with them because a similar outcome seems just unthinkable here in Canada....

... just as I suppose it would have been, at a time, in Germany, France, Rome, Greece, etc.... at some points in their history. I can't help but wonder sometimes - how many of these syrians were racists bigots before they found themselves in dire needs? How does that compare to today's Canada? And how would those bigots react in Syrian's position?
