Document Summary
Some may suggest that canadians are too nice" to give a true opinion. It is indeed true that canadians suffer from the curse of niceness". Refugees who were brought into canada through sponsorship (civilian and government) were not present at canadian borders nor claimed asylum; rather, they were selected in. Such means of selection ensure that security screenings are done far in advance before their arrival in canada. Broadly, there are 2 types of security threats. The possibility that potential terrorists slip through asylum cues. (the greater threat) the possibility that hundreds of millions of refugees are left subject to a. Hobbesian state of nature with no perspective, education or hope in the global south. Recent incidents in germany were not terrorist attacks nor acts committed by syrian refugees, but by north african settlers who were established in german society. It is dangerous to think to construct muslims (and other refugees in general) as terrorist threats.
