MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE REFUGEE CRISES!!!

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE REFUGEE CRISES!!!
People seem to think that the refugees are moving through all the countries from Turkey to Hungary because they are just being opportunistic. The reality is that these countries will not let them stay there and where most of them are coming from they face barrel bombs, mustard gas, nerve gas, pieces of metal entering their bodies and not to mention disease and starvation. Sadly speaking, of the Hungarians they do not want them in their country for they seem to have forgotten how in 1956 we took in thousands of them into ours as refugees, who were fleeing from Soviet Tanks.
As for the Syrians I am not fearful of them as if properly vetted, they will be fine. Then a little off topic but the Urban Myth Meme about the drowned boy on the beach as being somehow tainted due to his families not proven failures (to make this horror easier to handle), is ridiculous for he is still just a little boy who was found drowned on a beach!
The Bigot like fears about the current refugee crises is upsetting for me! As I also remember how everyone was afraid of Communists sneaking into Canada at the time of the Vietnam boat people.
WELL PEOPLE FEAR NOT!
For as of yet, I have not seen PM Harper wearing a "I Love Uncle Ho" pin.
My fear is as Canadians, we have reverted back to Bigoted Fearful Thoughts!
Historically with such examples as our Chinese Head Tax, The WW1 Ukraine Internment Camps and The Japanese WW2 Internment Camps. Then the fear of DP's (Displaced Person's), from Europe after WW2 as being somehow dangerous but in reality all these people only enhanced and help build Canada (such as my Dad), to become the GREAT COUNTRY that CANADA IS TODAY! Or should we take this belief back now, as our current intolerance and paranoia is predominate in our National Thinking?
Only the Indigenous First Nations can sort of lay claim to all of Canada but even they are in fact refugees, driven out long ago from somewhere else, for reasons long ago forgotten to become the First Canadians.
SO MY FELLOW CANADIANS STAND UP TO THE TASK!
DO NOT COWER IN FRONT OF YOUR PLASMA SCREENS IN FEAR, AS YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR POUTINE AND NOT ON THE PUCK!
LET’S HELP THESE PEOPLE NOW!!!
AS WE ARE CANADIANS.
