Canada to turn away single male Syrian refugees

Ultramegasaurus · 2015-11-24T07:54:06+00:00

We don't want Muslims to immigrate, because the majority of current terrorists are Muslims

Racist.

We don't want single men to immigrate, because the majority of current terrorists are single men.

Totally fine.

I heard someone on NPR prattling on about how they thought that single men in refugee camps are suspicious. Yeah, why on earth would a man want to avoid being forced to die in a brutal war?

As a man, my husband only matters in relation to what it is that he can provide for me. The fact that he is a human-fucking-being is apparently irrelevant.

Good to know, Trudeau.

What you expect. This is the same country that arrested a man for disagreeing with two feminist

The discussion group at the Canadian Centre for Men and Families in Toronto is addressing a topic this month that seems germane to this story and those interested; namely: What does the incoming government of Justin Trudeau have in store for Canadian men and boys?

Getting into how this kind of thing makes me feel, online, usually does me no good. The human element has, in my experience, helped me process unbelievable stories like this.

It's free to attend, and a statedly non-partisan event, and group. More info can be found on this poster: imgur.com/1H1D51W

Implying that woman terrorists don't exist.

This is a case of "Told you so !"

I saw this kind of crap coming from Trudeau before he was even elected. Like, years ago.

Canada's immigration policy also known as the night club entrance policy.

manicsuppressor · 2015-11-24T15:04:25+00:00

This is so utterly disgusting on Canada's part. How blatant does this sexism have to become before anyone will actually notice?

rg57 · 2015-11-24T17:37:05+00:00

To put this in perspective, the policy is too feminist for the left-wing NDP, whose leader criticized it on national TV.

Yes, single young men are most likely to fight in wars. Which is why the number one best way to de-escalate an armed conflict is to disperse as many of these men as possible to as many different parts of the planet as is logistically possible. The alternative is that they sit in Syria watching their friends and families get killed by one side or the other. A bunch of women and children sitting safe and sound in a refugee camp has never ended a single war to the best of my knowledge.

unmodster · 2015-11-24T06:04:29+00:00

That's cold even by Canadian winter standards.

manicsuppressor · 2015-11-24T15:00:51+00:00

Wow Canada, even you? Racist AND sexist.

autotldr · 2015-11-24T17:20:00+00:00

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 87%. (I'm a bot)

Ottawa - Canada will accept only whole families, lone women or children in its mass resettlement of Syrian refugees while unaccompanied men - considered a security risk - will be turned away, it emerged Monday.

Since the Paris attacks launched by Syria-linked jihadists, a plan by new leader Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to fast-track the intake of 25,000 refugees by year's end has faced growing criticism in Canada.

Details of the plan will be announced Tuesday but Canada's ambassador to Jordan confirmed that refugees from camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey will be flown to Canada from Jordan starting December 1.

In fairness considering Canada lately, I think they are probably doing the men a favour.....

They are saving them from being treated like shit by the government who appears to hate men. Especially straight white men.

dungone · 2015-11-24T13:14:33+00:00

There's one defense for this: it's only for their first program which concludes Jan 1 2016. In their next wave of immigrants, single men may be included.

sharmeelagul · 2015-11-24T07:01:16+00:00

All a jihadist has to do is get a woman and child to pose as his family. Why not, they are taught by the kuran to lie to infidels to achieve their goals. Even children can go to Canada or the US and grow up to be jihadists. Remember the Boston bombers?

Nurhh322 · 2015-11-24T10:49:24+00:00

Why are any "refugees" being allowed in at all? I can't think of one single benefit Canada gains from importing refugees but I can think of quite a few costs and risks of doing so.

It doesn't seem like Canadian immigration policy is being run for the benefit of Canadians.

pnw_diver · 2015-11-24T05:36:39+00:00

Yeah. That's fucked.

TheRedThrowAwayPill · 2015-11-24T07:00:03+00:00

These men would work for PEANUTS thus pushing down labor prices.
That's a LOOOOOOOOT of free welfare to non-working women & children...

Well, at least their allowing in men who have their families with them.

Sad, since there are cases where a whole family can't go but they could send 1. Usually they'll send an able bodied male to do work and send back money ... just like every other immigrant story out there.

CountVonVague · 2015-11-25T00:14:37+00:00

Well, when a superior military force dominates a weaker one the victor tends to prefer acquiring women for genetic diversity as opposed to men who become mostly slave labor. Canada doesn't need single, syrian men bringing in MiddleEastern romancing habits to their country and risk creating a "look how uncouth the foreign man is with our women" event... don't need to risk canadian "grooming gangs"...

OmegaParticle · 2015-11-25T01:50:37+00:00

This is just a litmus test, to see how much backlash there is to obvious and blatant systemic discrimination against men. If there isn't much backlash, expect more, and expect escalation.

TrialsAndTribbles · 2015-11-24T05:45:35+00:00

A reasonable precaution. This doesn't really belong here.

boringcarpets · 2015-11-24T08:18:04+00:00

I'm fine with that. We should be doing similar in Europe. Around 70% of the "refugees" are men, men with no papers, it's a national security issue, not a men's rights issue

Bear_naked_grylls · 2015-11-24T15:07:05+00:00

As someone who actually fucking lives in Canada, I feel I can say something here. If you don't live in Canada you have no right to bitch about it. Because as a Canadian, I fucking support this. I still think its a shitty thing, yes, and is it fair? God no. But at the end of the day, what do you think the ratio is for single men being terrorists compared to literally everyone else? So yeah, I'd beafraid to let all those people in. If your Canadian, great, I wanna hear your thoughts because this is our issue. If not, fuck off. You can't criticise another countries' decisions and the people who live here because we don't want to get hurt or worse.

TrendWarrior101 · 2015-11-24T18:43:47+00:00

Wow, Canada, seriously? You call that progressive? Exclude males but allow women, children, and elderly? Not all adult males are military-aged. Very embarrassing. I really hope that the Republicans here does not pass a recent law that would add a more stringent rule that would do nothing but prolong the pain of the refugees who really need our help. Hopefully the Senate would kill off the kill entirely because it's already passed in the House.
