So you've probably seen in the news that Canada is taking in a bunch of Syrian refugees.

I just learned that my brother and his Canadian wife and kids who live in Toronto have applied for and been approved to provide temporary housing for a refugee family in their own home.

Details are very scarce right now, but this will be interesting. I'll report back as I know more.

I've got huge respect for them though. They are part of the solution.

Trump would probably like the idea of Americans who want to support Syrians moving to Canada. As President, he might even give them medals!

It would be nice if they got the Paris attack guy alive instead of killing him. They get off on the martyrdom, and keeping that propaganda from them would be good. Throw his ass in jail. Don't execute him.

I think they put a bullet in him because he needed one but took him alive.

They would have caught him earlier, trying to exchange currency at the border, if they hadn't gone to the Euro in 2001. C'est la vie.
