One of the helpful aspects of managing a blog is that one can see what people are searching for that brings them to us. A couple of people today were searching Rohingyas, Burmese Muslims, and Canada. So I googled around and found out that Canada did take Rohingyas this time last year, and became the first western country to do so.
Go back and read our previous posts beginning with this one. And, then go back further to this one.
All I can say is that I guess Canadian government officials who made this decision hadn’t been doing their homework, hadn’t even been reading liberal Time magazine. Notice to US State Department, no Rohingyas here!

Canada is taking the initiative of opening its doors to a first group of Rohingya refugees living in UN camps in the southern tip of Bangladesh.
