So apart from apostates (arguably there are some religions in the US that do treat apostates very very bad) there are alot of people who stil have problems with gay rights and even their right to exist, theocracy over secularism (hmm teaching creationism in public schools?), lesser rights for woman, like being denied bodily autonomy (abortion)?
I literally gave you the argument.
I think the only reason Canada has to boast about the refugee situation, is how well our citizens are handling it, and for the most part actually welcoming the refugees to our country. On top of actually wanting the government to take in more, not less. (If that's even true just going by the odd news article that claims that).

People usually aren´t too happy about people dying on their doorstep. There are countries that can´t follow canada´s lead in that respect and other countries who took in more than double despite having not even 1/3 of the population are able to handle it.

Unless those bad ideas are actually a problem there´s no need to deny them help.
Your map is broken if you think Malta is steps away from Syria.
And having a tiny population, whilst also being significantly poorer, means that it is harder for the Maltese to cope than it would be for Canada, let alone the space issues.
Malta is punching above its weight, yet no Maltese are boasting about it, whereas Canada is doing bugger all significant, yet here we are in a thread where a Canadian is boasting.
No, I said not to boast, I never mentioned commenting.Not boasting. Commenting.
Not my problem, it is for the Canadian people to resolve how they wish to pull their weight, which they are clearly not doing at the moment by any metric available.You seem to think that the logistics in getting 1000s of people to Canada from half way around the world, over a massive ocean, is as easy as letting them walk or take a train across your borders. Or else you wouldn't be claiming that Canada isn't pulling its weight. It is not that easy, if it were our numbers would be much, MUCH, higher. Canada is pulling it's part because we don't have the logistic capabilities without spending a massive chunk of our GDP to get the 100,000's of thousands that you're claiming Canada should be able to take in. If you want Canada to take Malta's spot as 10th in per capita Canada would have to take in over half a million refugees. Getting half a million people to Canada is not an easy task.
Yeah they are a problem for as long as there are no reliable polls showing that migrant families are mostly assimilating to Western values. If you have stats saying they are successfully assimilating both socially and economically, then that would be more convincing than anything else in the thread.

i think 50 thousand is a respectable number, considering our geographic distance and low population. honestly i was completely appalled to read the US only accepting 10k. wtf? with ten times our population and the richest country in the world, i just assumed that would be reflected in the numbers they took. but a fifth of what we are taking, that's pathetic.

Compared to Canada, Malta is steps away from Syria. And Malta is hardly poor. Malta is 31 on GDP per capita. Right behind the oh so poor New Zealand.
And no one is boasting, only commenting.No, I said not to boast, I never mentioned commenting.
If you can't see how logistics is played into "pulling your weight" then you're just plain ignorant.Not my problem, it is for the Canadian people to resolve how they wish to pull their weight, which they are clearly not doing at the moment by any metric available.

Unless you are Jesus, Malta is not steps away from anywhere.
Significantly poorer than Canada, which is quite obvious from the context.And Malta is hardly poor. Malta is 31 on GDP per capita. Right behind the oh so poor New Zealand.
...apart from the OP of this very thread.And no one is boasting, only commenting.
Canada so poorIf you can't see how logistics is played into "pulling your weight" then you're just plain ignorant.
Should we have a whip round for the starving Canadians?
No it is not. What the fuck?
Middle east has been shit for a long time.

Syrians are the largest refugee population in the world right now and you're surprised that countries bordering syria have the highest refugees? So you mean they walked like 10 miles? Mind Blown.
So you rather go with polls than actual statistics from countries that took in a huge amount of refugees? Austria has seen an decrease in crime rates (apart from cybercrime) and an increase in crime clearance rate in 2015. Austria recieved 90.000 asylum requests in 2015, that´s more than 1% of the population.
Apparantly you don't know what a hyperbole is.
You still don't know what boasting is....apart from the OP of this very thread.
You are complete and utter fool. I made my points. You're allowed to have a (wrong) opinion, and I'm allowed to think of you as a complete idiot.Canada so poor
Should we have a whip round for the starving Canadians?
