"Canada has a responsibility...Canada must act"

We have no responsibility.  We are not a magical country of unlimited resources whose destiny is to solve the worlds problems.  All the Syrian refugees we let in last year are sitting, unemployed and unemployable, sucking up taxpayer money. Kind of like you, "independent senator for diversity in Ontario" - translation, a parasite on the Canadian taxpayer.  Lets spend taxpayer money improving native reserve water and housing, improving our slow justice system, improving our over-crowded health care.  Let God and the UN help solve foreign problems we neither created nor can solve.
