Editor: As I watch the news I see thousands of Syrian refugees moving across Europe and I see many groups of healthy young men among them.
This begs the question, why are these young men not in the Syrian army helping to defend their country?
If they are allowed to emigrate to Canada, will they help defend their new home if the need shall ever arise or will they high-tail it back to Syria?
The government sees these refugees as future taxpayers, so they are prepared to overload our health care and welfare systems for future tax income.
Before you can tax people they must be employed. At this time we are having a hard time employing our own young people and skilled workers.
As the government spends money they don鈥檛 have, all Canadians that worked and paid for our services will lose out as those services are bled dry.
Elderly Canadians now have to work two more years to get their pension. Our medical system is on its knees.
Canada cannot afford the humanitarian effort as proposed.
