If Canada started accepting and transporting people from NOLA...
...Would Bush bitch,piss and moan like a little baby?

I'm just curious how do you think this administration would react?

2. Improbable...
Canada chooses its emigrees very carefully and poor black folks from NOLA would not qualify.

Simply put, I doubt Canada could afford it...economically or politically.

5. Yeah, they'd be happy to be rid of them
I mean, they left them there for days to die. I really don't think they give a shit.

6. Canada takes refugees
every year...a large number. Without regard to colour or education or finances.

It is part of our obligation as UN members in fact.
