Edmonton将要接受1500名难民。Red Deer接受200, 剩下的1200-1300由卡尔加里打理。9 [* y( w7 M) h% h( ]- [8 W3 I! Q

那些小心脏不能承受这种冲击的,请仔细看看报告,死也要知道怎么死的。从这份报告里,如果看出来加拿大政府是多么的草率,多么的不负责任,你再好好地给大家报个信。多救几个人也好。

这个论坛里的难民恐惧,来自于想象居多,轻率的结论居多。希望各位仔细阅读后再评判自己和家人的安危。不要忘了,移民局审核人员也是加拿大人,加拿大没有把这项业务外包给第三方。他们和我们一样关心自己国家的安危。# s9 u. ?- _4 s! ~- }1 s" n

Edmonton往年大约接受400多个,今年似乎是大年,估计北面的民众会更多地暴露在多元文化之中。因为虽然难民住在军事基地,但不是集中营,他们可以自由活动,沿97街北部可能对这些难民到来有第一手发言权。拭目以待。

The Liberal government has said it will honour a campaign commitment to bring in 25,000 refugees by the end of the year, but so far there has been little information about how it will manage the massive resettlement. }2 `; t/ x. H1 u# i" `
