Thinking of the Canadian plan, there is a definite prejudice there, a prejudice against single young male refugees. I suppose this shows that some biases ain't all that illogical or out to lunch. But it is a clever move on the part of our government. It will probably silence quite a bit of the more vocal opposition. It's not so easy to be opposed to a women and children first policy.
One interesting point I noticed when reading the article is that as soon as they arrive the refugees will be covered by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In other words, apart from not being able to vote and being liable to deportation if they commit a crime or mess up in some similar fashion, they will be treated as Canadians. They will have the right to move anywhere they wish in Canada, the right to benefits, the right to work ... all kinds of good stuff.
Even tho' I didn't vote Liberal, and probably never will, I think Trudeau (the hottest PM on the planet
) got this one right.
