Soldiers and military personnel at a Kingston, Ont. base are being asked to clear their barracks to make room for an early wave of Syrian refugees arriving in just over a week, CTV News has learned.

Multiple residences at CFB Kingston are being cleared for Nov. 30 to house the refugees, according to an internal memo obtained by CTV News.

“We are determined to bring refugees here quickly, but we are also determined to do it right in terms of security and in terms of health,” he said.

Earlier this month, CTV News reported details from a document entitled “Operation Syrian Refugees” that suggested up to 900 Syrian refugees a day could arrive in Toronto and Montreal from Lebanon, Jordan and possibly Turkey.

Go through the whole 1 1/2 to 2 year UNHCR process then the Canadian cheques then slip into the US across yet another border.

It's the old end-around-cut-back-double-cross play.

and am also very happy they are sticking to their promise regarding the refugees. The naysayers are still braying noisily but to no effect. We are back to a caring, compassionate country again, thank goodness.
