to be clear - i'm not taking a fiscally conservative position on this. i don't care about the public purse, or "taxpayers' dollars". print the money. fine.

but, when you don't fund your humanitarian schemes, when you just leave it up to the market, those schemes will fail and, when they fail, they will have unintended and unimagined consequences for everybody else. that's what this looks like.

look at the data on the syrian refugees that trudeau brought in. do we want to repeat this colossal catastrophe? 

if not, then let's make a choice: if we're going to do this, let's make sure we do it right by funding it properly, and if we're not going to pay for it, then let's think up something else. 

the liberals are supposed to do better than this.
