(5,730 posts)Canada is not only taking more refugees from Syria, Iraq (which we've bombed tbe hell out of for 15 years), and other countries. It is taking in refugees to whom we have promised asylum. It is taking our undocumented workers, in many cases . Of course, it is also encouraging scientists to come...our brain drain. Canada is what America used to be and aspired to be. The Park Service would initially make that decision. Of course, DT would strike it, but it would make a point and start a movement.

But shamefully, we are not that nation anymore and it is inappropriate for it to be there -- unless that banner or another like it (and policies to match) remain.
