31. what has canada ever done for anyone?
debra ,   usa   (04.09.07)
i can't think of a thing.
32. civilians have the right to seek safety.
Lebanese ,   Canada   (04.09.07)
I think the Canadian governemet will be held accountable if any war started and Israely civilians got hurt. Israel is a very small country and civilians have the right to seek safety. it's no bravery for civilians to stay in case of a war. Canada and other Europeans countrieshave to give Israely civilians a special treatment because of their critical situation. we all hope no war will happen. Peace is a better choice for all of us...A Lebanese against the war

34. refugee status
felix ,   toronto & tel aviv   (04.09.07)
Under the UN Refugee Convention, these are the reasons to be given refugee status: you are singled out and persecuted and the state is unable or unwilling to help, on the following grounds: 1. gender 2. religion 3. belonging to a particular social group 4. belonging to a particular political movement 5. sexual orientation. (I may not be completely accurate, but you can check on the web). Also, there must be no safe alternative (e.g. a different town). As all Israelis are under a threat of war, this woman's claim is bs. As a matter of fact, most israeli claims, if not all, are bs. Problem is, the decision makers feel bad and grant requests, especially from mixed religion households.

Mikulas ,   Bratislava, Slovakia   (04.09.07)
The US Congress (republican) refused to let Jews fleeing Germany enter the US despite FDR. The Jews are rather left wing because they know who looks out for them when the time comes. Your remark about Canada is preposterous.

dev ,   USA   (04.09.07)
Good ? what has Canada ever done for anyone apart from the middle east. I was there last year, and its a lousy place to visit, and I imagine even worse to live there, they are being invaded, and they dont have a clue.. Very odd people.
39. Canada
Jim ,   Blaine US   (04.09.07)
My sister lives there,, I just shake my head when she tells me some of the stuff that goes on there,, I am in the US millitary, and i'm proud of the US,, I would not be proud to be a canadian. That left wing pathetic country will implode soon, and they will come crying to us.. I personally wouldnt lift a finger to help them..

42. I remember when a woman could walk alone in Toronto in 70s
Hamish McArthur ,   Calgary,Canada   (04.09.07)
Not today.My girl was a nurse and she and her friends used to get off close to Midnite and take the transport home without escort. Today only a death wish candidate would try that.

Erin ,   Van Canada   (04.09.07)
I hear you brother, my family was mugged, and beaten up bad, picking me up at a pub a few years ago. I'm not a racist, but I have bad feelings towards the people that did this. The left is dragging this country down. We were attacked in Calgary. God bless.
