“Sorry but basing views or conclusions, when it comes to policy, on anecdote is simply wrong. the writers of this advocacy-doc make a point of telling us over and over that they donu0026#39;t want to use the statistics, and instead tell the story of (cherry picked sample) of people. OK, but NO intelligently run country does this for policy. If it did there would also be a billion more u0026quot;refugeesu0026quot; from Africa, Latin America and Asia into Canada.nAnd Canadau0026#39;s population/density means it should be taking seven times as may refugees as the US when in fact it takes less. Not seven times more per capita — seven times more overall!nNo mention of the CBC poll showing 76% of Canadians do NOT want more refugees? Is Canada a democracy or not?nThe fact is that huge proportions of the u0026quot;refugeesu0026quot;, the large majority are not legally refugees under Canadian and International law. The majority of the military age males entering are lying about their age. 20, 21, 22, 23 even 25 year olds are claiming to be 16 and being put into Canadian secondary schools (high schools). In the very same schools were we are seeing assaults rise for a decade with refugees committing crimes at massively higher levels per capita.nThis documentary was made in 2018 using data from 2017. Data from 2019 and 2020 shows its assertions and conclusions were wrong”
