When i recall to the pictures of children in mud,cold and rain,from my warm and causy bed,not even mention ones that drawned in the sea, my tears come out.
Politics has nothing to do with reall life.
We all need to recognize that we are part of a global economy...and that in my eyes means we take care of the ones in need...yes it would be sensible if the countries with a need to employ would take on some of the burden...the videos show what misinformation and words can stir fear...many of the States do not want to participate in relocating the refugees...
Some think that the majority of refugees are in fact male...conjuring up fear that their true goal is to create havoc within the countries that take on these refugees...a plot to bring more destruction...sad truth is many are just as you say...cold, hungry and desperate... with no intent to reek havoc on others...your right about politics...
No doubt...we need to reflect what it would be like living in that hell...
The refugee crisis has spelled the end of Europe’s navel-gazing – of which there was so much during the Greek crisis. Europeans are waking up to the fact they don’t live in a bubble. Wednesday’s EU leaders’ summit produced a text announcing the EU would work towards peace in Syria, a settlement in Libya, cooperation with Turkey, and dialogue with sub-Saharan African states – all regions, to various degrees, which are at the origin of the refugee crisis.
In the end, the problem boils down to what type of society we want to live in, and what image Europe wants to project to the world. Let’s face it, you are rich and lucky. The EU, in global terms, represents 7% of the population, 25% of GDP, and 50% of social spending. It distributes 65% of development aid and more than 50% of the humanitarian aid. Europe is a magnet because, despite all its problems, it has one of the highest GDP per capita ratios, and the lowest inequalities. It is a haven of stability and respect for individual rights.
The EU is a unique construct, neither a federation nor an intergovernmental organisation. It is a constantly evolving project based on the sharing of sovereignty. Look closely and you won’t find a single European leader ready to go down in history as the one who dismantled what has been accomplished in 60 years. That, and the many gestures of solidarity from European citizens who want to feel decent, not selfish, is why this crisis will not spell the end of Europe.
Thank-you for your sentiments...always a great supporter...
How are you today,
I will watch those John Oliver rants later (no time now)
Was just reading Ushas comment on the blog and it seems she makes a good point about Qatar !
So I did a little looking and found this
I think perhaps its a case of them seeing this move as
"out of the frying pan and into the fire."
Hello Usha.
For a dismal look what could what come...we ha fun...
refugees within Syria, and taking in 25,000 for relocation
here. Pretty good I figure, with a 7% unemployment rate,
and homeless people in our cities.
We Canadians are doing what we can...Thanx to Trudeau....a person who believes in helping out and not submitting to fear...
Your arrogance knows no bounds...please step back...remember who your ally is...despite past problems...we must remain allies...it is necessary...
@ Pedal, that is a real concern, isn't it?
The Syrian refugees cannot enter Arab Gulf states without first obtaining a tourist visa or a work permit both of which are very costly and take a lot of time.
@aaltar, So pleased to read that you enjoyed our Canadian culture on DVD. Clearly, it provided a refreshing and soothing change from the noise that you are so accustomed to hearing which much be difficult for such a sensitive person. A small correction though...it's "Je vous en prie". We do applaud the effort though!
For your input...I think many would benefit from your opinion...keep it real...
