Smells fake.

Who would actually think those crazy Canadians are giving away genuine Prada bags?
Of course, they are fakes.

Bill Clinton and his best buddy, gold mining mogul, Frank Giustra,
cameras snapping, made a big show of Clinton/Giustra do-goodism in
earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

REALITY CHECK Then-Secy Hillary supposedly gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars for Earthquake Relief.

But Haitian-American protesters claim that American aid to Haiti was a cover-for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to The Clinton Foundation.

For example, gold mining expert Giustra "gave" the Foundation $100 million....after Bill helped him make billions off uranium deals.

Hillary's brother had no expertise in gold mining.....yet he mysteriously got a rare gold mining license in Haiti (now on hold due to controversy).

Does the stadium have enough skyboxes for the Hollywood types, or do the stars have to mingle with the commoners?

[a fool in paradise]

Royal weddings are expensive.

#17: "My church has made Haiti their outreach project "

For decades hundreds and hundreds of churches have made Haiti part of their "outreach project" with absolutely nothing to show for the efforts. Nothing changes. Nothing ever will.

The only thing your church is likely to get out of it is permanent disqualification from being a blood donors.

The last time Montreal welcomed refugees from the US was during the American Revolution...

My 4th ggm from Albany met and married my 4th ggf from the Susquehanna River there Feb 23 1784...

“They [liberals] see these refugees as reinforcing usage of the French language.”

Haitian Creole is very different from French, though related (a Haitian hospital technician told me this). More different than a dialect.

Typical liberal wishful thinking in Quebeckistan.

[Former Proud Canadian]

They send their kids to French language schools. That’s all that matters.

[Former Proud Canadian]

No, actually, there were two more refugee waves from the US to Canada. One before the civil war and another one during Vietnam.

[morphing libertarian]

after we complete the southern wall, we need to start planning one for the north. Canada will become more and more like Londonistan.

[elcid1970]

Those weren’t refugees, they were draft dodgers. Later pardoned by Jimmah Carter.

What did Princess Chelsea’s wedding cost?

How muchrent does she pay for her exclusive NYC suites?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Heard on the news in the late 80s that if there was another US war, Canada would not take our draft dodgers as they did during the Vietnam War. It seems the idea that they were getting the “best and brightest” was indeed a myth.

[Tennessee Nana]

and there was one during the War of 1812...

[ridesthemiles]

Someone remind me how much it cost to REHAB & DISINFECT the football stadium in New Orleans AFTER Katrina people all but destroyed it???

We saw the pictures of the filth-— How much did that cost taxpayers???

“The vast majority of the asylum seekers are Haitians who initially fled the devastating earthquake in 2010, and whose future status in the U.S. is unclear under the Trump administration.”

Interesting. The only group being deported are “illegal aliens” with criminal records.

So when they say it’s not safe in the US, are they concerned that,because of their criminal records, they are on a list? The Canadians need to look a little deeper into their backgrounds, before granting asylum.

There are Haitians here legally, who work hard, and in many cases try to help their families back in Haiti. There is nothing wrong with immigrants. The problem is “illegal aliens”, not legal immigrants.

Interestingly Canada has set a limit of 46,000 for “Refugees and Protected Persons” for 2017, but only 8,000 of these slots are for Government-Assisted Refugees. If they had to change the holding area to the Olympic Stadium, it’s probably because there are a lot more than 8,000 self deporting.

Maybe illegal aliens self deporting from the US need to self deport to the EU. The Eu is welcoming all refugees. I wonder how the EU would feel if we started deporting all our illegals by air to the EU.

[Former Proud Canadian]

The US doesn't have a draft. No draft, no draft dodgers.

Deserters are arrested and repatriated forthwith, have been ever since we had an extradition treaty.

[Deplorable American1776]

I thought it was an article about Liberals who decided to move - like they said they would. Fake news..

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

We didn’t still have a real draft at the time Canada announced that policy change.
