We have starving first nations who are the owners of this land - help them first . We have child poverty here - help them first. If Trudeau wants to bring them in let him pay for ALL of them himself with his Daddy's trust fund money!!

We are suffering already in the Durham area with lack of Housing. I have heard there's a 4 / 5 year wait for our own residents looking for affordable housing? How on earth can we possibly accommodate these people? It's not a fact of discrimination but that of our shortage to those that have lived here all their lives and enduring hardship, regarding a place to call " Home " Also, we have had a concerning shortage of Doctors in Durham in the last few years. To have good family Doctor today, is almost luxury whereas, years go, it was Never concern. Bringing these refugees to Durham will bring nothing but more strain on everyone in an area that is struggling with its own issues. We are being bullied into a situation that very few want in this country and with all the chaos going on in the world today, I believe there are so many other reasons to let us have a voice and be heard about our community and our safety.

These people do need safe place but not where we have so many homeless and hungry already doesn't make sense!

I do not think they will help Durham's economy or crime rate. We have enough people on welfare and people wanting hand outs in general right here in our own backyard. I'd rather help our own local unfortunate residents than help another country's.

http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/terrorists-release-video-demanding-dollar100m-to-free-hostage-group-that-includes-two-canadians/ar-BBmMKzx?li=AAadgLE And this is just the beginning ... not even on our own soil. They are holding hostages in the name of their religious pursuits. I will not even think of tolerating this here in Canada. Let the middle east adopt these barbarians. We don't want them here.

Oshawa is not in any position to house these refugees. When there is a 5 year waiting list for residents to receive affordable housing and Oshawa can't even maintain the housing they have. So in my opinion, I think bring 100 refugees to Oshawa and not having anywhere to put them, or putting them priority before our own residents who are waiting for housing is ridiculous.

We can't even afford to help our own people why should we be supporting people from another country.

There's a 2 to 3 year waiting list for people that need afortable housing and we're doing what with them. Either taking other people's spots who have been waiting years to get in or were building them there own complex and who's paying for that. Taxes are high enough. Try England.

We can not do this to Oshawa. Oshawa has its own problems to take care of.
