Perhaps, Layla, he was attacking you because there is a hint in your post that the moral principle of personal responsibility and the legal principle of mitigating your losses might apply to this chap as it does to the rest of us and, accordingly, this refugee should make at least some efforts of his own to integrate and to improve his situation starting by learning the language of his new country and neighbours.

Those in Ottawa, and never more so than now in the Trudeau 2.0 era, aren't big on personal responsibility and mitigating one's losses because if more people did this there would be less dependence on big brother government and so less need for well compensated bureaucrats and for Liberal handouts for votes.

Interestingly, a recent study reveals refugees arriving here under private sponsorship are more than twice as likely to find work in their first year as government sponsored refugees.   This is not surprising to those of us experienced with the Ottawa mind set.
