    I feel bad for any displaced Ukrainians who bought the lines that Canada would welcome them and be their home away from home.

    There was never any infrastructure or policies put in place to facilitate the costs associated with providing housing, food, living affordability.

    It’s one thing to use smoke and mirrors against Canadians. It’s another thing entirely shameful to virtue signal to the world we will take the refugees and treat them well, all the while knowing once they get here, they are fucked. Not all but many of them. It’s embarrassing as a Canadian. The federal government should be doing much much more, and do better for incoming Ukrainians as a whole.

      Did you read the article? Unless I’m missing something, this was always a temporary setup (4-6 wks) for them to get settled. It’s now ending, which means we’ll have to take fewer, or just use the federal 2wk program, which is less than ideal.
