Canada still committed to bring in 25,000 so-called Syrian Refugees by the New Year

   Even after the terrorist bombings Friday in Paris Canada’s newly elected left wing Liberal government is determined to keep their promise of 25,000 refugees by the New Year.

   According to Reuters, a Syrian travel document was found near a gunman outside the Stade de France after a coordinated assault that left at least 129 people dead and 352 wounded. The agency reported that someone used the passport to enter Greece on Oct. 3 with a group of refugees, but it’s not clear if it legitimately belonged to the gunman. The Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

   Trudeau’s Liberal government still insists these refugees will be genuine and thoroughly screened even though its estimated that the security service would have to clear 500 refugees a day.

   In a news conference at the House of Commons Saturday afternoon, Opposition leader Rona Ambrose said Canadians were right to be concerned about taking in thousands of people from a hotbed of extremist activity over a short time frame. Ambrose didn't go so far as to call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to abandon the plan, however.

   “The goal of supporting refugees from the region of Iraq and Syria is a very important goal for all Canadians. We are very compassionate people,” said Ambrose, the interim Conservative leader. “But Canadians are asking the question — can we do it this quickly, in a secure way? And I think that’s an appropriate question.”
