    They are proposing ‘tent style towns’ to house these people in my city. Something is going to break and break really really bad. I see a future where I will actually need to lock my house doors sooner then later.

          Aren’t the proposed tents in Ottawa meant to house incoming legal refugees? Like a temporary place when they first arrive until they can get set up somewhere permanent. That’s my understanding.

            I’m personally unsure, would be better if they made permanent housing instead of these temporary shelter things though. Would benefit everyone at the end of the day.

          Every couple of days there a shooting in the news and the victim sounds like he’s from somewhere in the middle east.
