Walt has some comforting news for Canucks worried that newly-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau might make good on his promise to import 25,000 refugees from Syria -- supposedly -- by the end of the year.
From The Japan Times comes a story of a busload of migrants from Syria and Iraq who were taken by MV, the Swedish migration agency, to Limedsforsen, a village near the Norwegian border. They took one look, and refused to get off the bus, demanding instead to be taken to a big city, or maybe even Germany.
Why? Because, they said, Limedsforsen was isolated and too cold. Interviewed on Swedish TV, one of the refugees said, "They told us we were going to live here, but it’s not possible for everyone. There are children and a pregnant woman. It’s too cold, there are no shops and no doctor."
A spokesthingy for MV told AFP, "We don’t have an alternative solution. This is all we have to offer them." As the Muslim invasion of Europe continues, about 10,000 supposed refugees are making their way to Sweden every week. The county, with a population of less than 10 million, expects to receive almost 200,000 asylum applications by the end of the year.
Walt's advice to Canadians is to confirm, not deny the tales of endless winters in the Great White North. Post plenty of pictures of snow-covered landscapes, and don't forget the igloos and polar bears. And many good lucks to you, by Jove!
