Saudis don't want them, they're considered "filth" according to a co-worker (who is from Dubai).
Regardless if they're Muslim, they don't want them, period.
Of course, trudeau got in the ring and beat up that conservative senator, he didnt hide in a closet like some folks
Ya, you know, the guy who's JOB it is to do that kind of thing... the guy who is equipped with the tools to do that kind of thing.

If Russia is getting in there then things are about to get a whole lot scarier for the world. I said a few years ago that the area was a powderkeg and now we have Russia to worry about. One altercation between Nato forces and them and things could spiral downward pretty quick.
Fact is Russia has legitimate security concerns in the area and won't be backing down.
Denmark CLOSES its border with Germany: Road and rail links are shut down in bid to stem the flow of migrants

I don't follow politics too much lately since they're basically all the same.
Having said that, I didn't know that the Danish recently had an election and voted far right.
I bet they're happy as shit that they did now.

His father is dead and isn't running in the election. Just so you know.
Stephen harper's dad didn't serve in ww2 either- he would have been old enough in 1944. Nor did he serve in korea. So I guess now you despise steven.
Steven's grandfather who would have been 37 at the start of ww2 didn't volunteer either. I guess they aren't a patriotic family and should be barred from politics.
90% of Quebec opposed conscription in both World Wars. So why would Trudeau Sr be any different to almost all of his contemporaries?
Err..... like?
Oh, you mean because Assad is Putin's client, crony and butt-boy in the Arab World, so Putin has to send in troops to prop him up? Gotcha.
RT is a Kremlin propaganda organ which notoriously publishes fictional or highly distorted "news" to suit Putin on a daily basis. I would suggest looking for another media source to confirm anything that RT has published.

Trudeau the Elder could still have volunteer. Instead, he wore a German helmet (some say a Nazi helmet) and rode into Montreal's Jewish neighborhoods on his motorcycle.
And steven's dad and grandad could have volunteered as well but they didn't.
Steven didn't volunteer to serve his country and he treats veterans like shit.
Why talk about dead people? Steven is running against mulcair and justin trudeau.

why take in mass "refugees" when your economy is in recession and unemployment rising
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finland's government on Thursday proposed increasing capital gains tax and income tax on high earners to help pay for a 10-fold increase in refugees expected to arrive this year, its finance minister said.
The EU migrant crisis proposes a political as well as a financial challenge for the coalition, whose foreign minister, Timo Soini, heads the Eurosceptic party, The Finns, which campaigned for tighter controls on immigration.
Finance Minister Alexander Stubb said the highest bracket of capital gains tax would be raised by 1 percentage point while people earning more than 72,300 euros ($81,000) would be required to pay a so-called solidarity tax for two years, lowering the threshold from 90,000 euros.
"These will help to cover higher immigration costs which we estimate to be about 114 million euros this year," Stubb told a news conference.
The centre-right coalition, which took office in May, is struggling to cut government spending quickly in a shrinking economy where unemployment is on the rise.
Finland last week doubled its estimate for the number of asylum seekers expected this year to up to 30,000, compared with just 3,600 last year.
The government agreed before the summer that any EU plan to apportion asylum seekers among EU states should be voluntary. Nevertheless, its interior minister, from the pro-EU National Coalition party, agreed in July to take about 800 refugees from among those who had arrived in Greece and Italy.
The government is due to decide on Friday on how to respond to a new EU quota proposal.
The tax proposals may also be aimed to counter accusations that the poor and middle class have been hit worst by government policies. The government also announced that members of parliament would be required to take a week's unpaid holiday and all ministers would forgo a week's pay.
Earlier this week it presented labor market reforms that included reductions in holidays, prompting a hostile reaction from trade unions who said it went against Finland's traditional consensus politics.
Finland's economy is shrinking for a fourth year in a row due to weak demand from European and Russian markets and problems affecting its main export industries, including technology.

Immigration[edit]
Regarding immigration policy the 2011 manifesto emphasises:[59][60]
Limiting humanitarian immigration strictly to refugee quotas (which should be adapted to correspond with the economic situation),
Limiting family unification to proven direct relatives only, and requiring means of subsistence from the immigrant,
Deporting those immigrants guilty of serious or recurrent crimes,
Welcoming work-based immigration, provided the immigrants pay taxes and abide by Finnish labour laws,
Granting Finnish nationality after five years' residence in Finland, provided the immigrant masters Finnish, has no criminal record, and has means of subsistence
