....about 500 passengers and crew arrived this morning at the west coast, boat people from Somalia. Tigers.Smugglers. Who knows. This has happened before and no doubt the scene is being watched for more of the same. They will be processed...takes about a year and a half and going by recent history about 80% will receive refuge status and be allowed to remain here. Most will probably end up in Toronto...apply to bring a bunch of other family members over within the next fife years and on the Summer weekends they all end up here uptown at the Cobourg beach.
What's wrong with that? Nothing.\It will give our government departments something to do...
Anyway that is what's in the news today and after being crammed up in a small ship for over three months on the pacific journey, these folks need a break, no matter what or why they find themselves in this situation.
