Creating Canadians: Liberals' Response to Syrian Refugees Playing With Opportunity Costs In Order to Create and Buy Votes

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-has-spent-32-million-on-flights-for-syrian-refugees/article28922757/

An older article but in light of the recent bewildering events of this "Sunny Ways" federal government, the opportunity costs it is incurring are staggering - all with the aim of buying more votes.  In other words the government is essentially "creating Canadians" out of these refugees to vote Liberal as their thanks. If the refugee claim system operated genuinely and for compassionate purposes, then compassion does not work that way.

Later it was released that the level of refugees flown to Canada ( versus walking across the border or making their way to Canada in the aim of a refugee claim) was 50,000.  According to this article on average C$1,500 was the cost despite lower commercial flight costs and a "markup" on behalf of our friendly "International Organization for Migration" (who?) Of 7.0%, this equates to $75 million.
