Like Syrians who left during war there and an insane number went BACK rather than stay in Canada.

Welcome to Canadas creepy police state where only the Creepy Ones and their families milk the system on the backs of our dead economy.

They might as well have gone to Russia. Similar system as ours but closer proximity and you share the language.




TORONTO — Sabina Abilova and Andrii Koziura sit at the dinner table in their basement apartment, laptops open, searching for jobs that might help them pay for next month's rent.

The Ukrainian newcomers arrived in Toronto just a few weeks ago, looking to escape the conflict in their country, and have been burning through their savings as they're faced with the high cost of living in the city.

"The prices here are quite high," Abilova, 28, says in an interview. "If we don't find a job, we won't be able to stay here for long."

The cost of housing is proving to be one of the top issues for Ukrainian newcomers arriving under a special federal program announced in March that permits them to work or study in Canada for three years.

Canada supports all immigrants who are genuinely in need, but they shouldn't expect to keep their money and their gold as savings. Social assistance can't be abused in Canada. If they want to feel the pinch they can try the US.

Or Russia cordially invites them there too.

Spoken like a true man of the people. You are in denial, you forget I live here, I know the reality.
