Since assuming power in November 4, 2015, Trudeau government brought in to Canada as of May 15, 2016, 27,190 Syrian refugees
of whom 15,355 are government-assisted refugees, 2,341 blended
visa-office referred refugees and 9,494 privately sponsored refugees.
Senior
officials of the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
confirmed on May 12, 2016 in their testimony to the Standing Committee
on Citizenship and Immigration that the number of Yazidi cases which are
being processed are “small” totalling only 9 cases.
Immigration Canada is receiving refugee applications of Syrian nationals only in Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan. Hmmm.....And 'Islamist' Turkey determines which refugees are allowed to travel to host countries. For the other countries it's MUSLIM administrations who handle the applications.

Fear, Anger and Hatred: The Rise of Germany's New Right. (Spiegel).
For years, a sense of disillusionment has been growing on the right. Now, the refugee crisis has magnified that frustration. Increasingly, people from the very center of society are identifying with the movement -- even as political debate coarsens and violence increases.
In the past, the right wing was characterized primarily by thugs with
shaved heads, bomber jackets and jackboots -- people who had difficulty
getting the words "Blood & Honour" tattooed on their arms without a
spelling mistake. After the 1990s, the jackboot crowd was replaced by
the "Autonomous Nationalists," right-wing extremists who disguised
themselves by wearing left-wing clothing, but who were just as violent
as their forebears.
These street-extremists are still around, but they have received
reinforcements. The New Right comes out of the bourgeois center of
society and includes intellectuals with conservative values, devout
Christians and those angry at the political class.
The new movement also
attracts people that might otherwise be described as leftist: Putin
admirers, for example, anti-globalization activists and radical
pacifists. Movements are growing together that have never before been
part of the same camp. Together, they have formed a vocal protest
movement that has radicalized the climate in the country by way of
public demonstrations and a digital offensive on the Internet.
It's not just the government's refugee policies that are bringing the
New Right together. The origins are much deeper, reaching back to the
protests against the welfare reforms passed in the early 2000s, the
anger at the euro bailouts and demonstrations against massive
construction projects such as Stuttgart 21. They were all demonstrations
of angry citizens who felt their politicians were failing them. Many of
them have since become even angrier and have, at least internally,
transformed into radicals.
The 1 million refugees who have arrived in Germany in 2015 are now
acting as a catalyst for this new right-wing movement. The fear of
foreigners, of being "swamped" by them, is bonding the New Right
together and drawing more "concerned citizens" into their ranks every
day. Hmmm.....I warned months ago that we will see the far right rise all over Europe.....and the U.S. Read the full story here.
Europe made deal with 'Islamist' Turkey to keep receiving refugees in Future. (HD).
Merkel is aware that German population is aging at a rapid pace and the country needs immigrants. Unlike Turkey, which finds thousands on its doors every day, Germany wants to receive refugees in a more orderly way.
What’s more, it wants to receive migrants that will more easily integrate into German society. That is only natural, as far as German government is concerned. After all, it wants to pursue a smooth integration policy for migrants that will create minimum disturbance of Germany’s socio-economic texture. That is also a point of concern in Turkey at the moment.
While the deal reached by Brussels and Ankara does not include a concrete article on the controlled flow of refugees to Europe,there seems to be an understanding between Berlin and Ankara that Germany, in addition to some other EU countries that it wants to convince, will continue to receive refugees through a mechanism established with Turkey.
They have already started to see how they can establish this mechanism, whereby some of the refugees will be able to make it to Germany legally.
Turkey is ready for such cooperation, but it does not want Germany to discriminate between refugees. A possible German tendency to cherry-pick – perhaps focusing on Christians or more educated refugees - might emerge as one of the most controversial issues in the upcoming cooperation between the two countries over refugees.
Cherry-picking… Let’s hope that the German “policy of societies” can go further than that. Hmmm.....What else did EU[Rabia] agree to ? Read the full story here.

We hear screaming, everyone tries to flee, people trampled, it was hell. "
