I was very disappointed to view the poll on Syrian refugees on Castanet this morning. Over 70% of the voters support a ‘Trump’ style ban on Syrian refugees in Canada.
People here need to remember that most of Canada's population is based on immigrants within the last 80-90 years.
I have always been proud of Canada's global reputation for being a kind, compassionate and respectful nation. Let's not fall into the hatred and segregation the United States is being plagued with right now. These refugees need safe places to support their families, and we can not make blanket generalizations about a race or religion based on the actions of few.
Let's keep up Canada's great reputation.
