Hi, Molson Light.  Glad you wrote your comment.  Because it gives me the opportunity to point it out as an example of how many misguided (Angry? Jealous? Pouting?) Canadians STILL want to compare the plight of "Canadian tax payers" with the unfortunate people who arrive in this country without much more than a couple of suitcases full of clothes, faced with the daunting prospect of starting their entire lives again in a country so different from their own they might as well have landed on Mars. 

You have a car? Refugees don't arrive here with cars.  A home of some kind?  Refugees don't leave anything but rubble or a tent behind.  Warm winter clothes for yourself and the kids?  Probably.  Not refugees.  You have medical assistance available?  (Yeah, I know, you probably complain about that--but compare it to what was available in the Jordan camps...)  

Of COURSE Canadian tax payers don't get the same entitlements.  They're not refugees.
