If Canadian authorities had approached this problem realistically, they never would have spent $16,000,000. They would have known from the outset that this program would never work, and that there is no way to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslim migrants.
“RCMP refugee screening a $16M flop, says internal report,” by Dean Beeby, CBC News, April 15, 2016:
A $16-million RCMP project to help keep dangerous refugees out of Canada has turned out to be an expensive security flop.
An internal evaluation says the screening project delivered information too late, strayed beyond its mandate, and in the end did almost nothing to catch refugees who might be linked to criminal or terrorist groups.
Meanwhile, 30 Mounties were tied up for four years on duties that did little to enhance Canada’s security.
“The current approach does not appear to provide much by way of relevant information to support the admissibility screening of refugee claimants,” concludes the Sept. 29, 2015, report, obtained by CBC News under the Access to Information Act.
The report on the anemic results was completed at about the same time as then prime minister Stephen Harper said Canada had to proceed cautiously in accepting Syrian refugees so that Canada’s screening process could weed out terrorists.
“When we are dealing with people that are from, in many cases, a terrorist war zone, we are going to make sure that we screen people appropriately and the security of this country is fully protected,” Harper told a 2015 election rally in Welland, Ont.
“We cannot open the floodgates and airlift tens of thousands of refugees out of a terrorist war zone without proper process. That is too great a risk for Canada.”
Domestic databases checkedThe RCMP screening pilot was launched in 2011-12 as part of a package of Conservative reforms tightening up the processing of refugees, including a controversial move to withdraw some medical treatments for rejected asylum seekers. The Liberals have since reversed that measure.
Under the pilot project, the RCMP vetted potential refugees already in Canada — the names were provided by the Canada Border Services Agency — by checking domestic police databases for links to criminal or terrorist organizations, among other things.
But the auditors found a raft of problems:
RCMP officers hired for the work couldn’t get started for months because legislation was slow to be passed in 2012.
The border agency and RCMP computers couldn’t talk to each other, so the organizations had to exchange thousands of names manually.
The cost per screening skyrocketed from a planned $425 to $1,026, on average.
The RCMP delivered screening checks to the border agency too late about a third of the time, rendering them useless because of refugee-decision deadlines.
The RCMP reported only 85 of 4,085 names as potential problem refugees, the auditors said, based on a significant sample of the completed work. But the border agency used only two of those names in its vetting process because of late or inadequate information from the Mounties. And even the information on the two names was later found not to be pertinent to the border agency’s final decision.
The RCMP pilot began poorly by primarily vetting the names of refugee claimants who were brand-new to Canada — and therefore were unlikely to have a Canadian criminal record….

The solution? Throw more money at it. Oh, wait, it’s a Harper project, and one designed to keep muslims out of Canada. Going down the crapper for sure – there’s no way Trudeau will sped a cent on something like that…
Leessa says
Your right, Trudeau doesn’t care about the TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE, as you maybe have seen and heard of the “that offends” my or the ” let’s take pork and beans out of the food banks”. These people are The Devil’s Rejects, and no one seems to care about those who DO NOT WANT THESE PEOPLE IN THEIR ( MY ) COUNTRY!

It is ok keep sending them Mr Trudeau Canadians will clean up another one of your messes when your gone at end of your 1st and only run at PM and your supporters will have to find someone new to blindly follow lol retarts

This is depressing for Canadian taxpayers who deserve better and are suffering an economic downturn. Bringing Muslims to Canada in large numbers is madness because history says it is. However, to bring large numbers of Muslims rapidly without adequate checking is inviting disaster. The disaster will start to be apparent in one to two years…about 2018, when the newcomers have identified suitable targets for jihad.
Muslim parliamentarians are already seeking ways to infiltrate the national police and stop investigation of jihadists.
Justin Trudeau will someday be seen as the dumbest PM of Canada.

I knew he was before he was even elected ! Along with many others.
Even without his islamophilia it was obvious he is an idiot ! Too many reasons to list here……

Oh and BTW, Mortimer, I find your comments very informative and intelligent, I’m not criticizing your comment at all, just expressing myself on the issue, I’m a Canadian, and I was born on the very same day that our current flag was chosen by the Liberals, Feb 15, 1965.

Since assimilation is impossible before they declare their apostasy from Islam you could at least ask them whether they have abandoned Islam before letting them inside.

With a population of about thirty-six million, that amounts to about only $2.25 American per person, what is the problem? Other than the policy being one of many to destroy your country.
(It is most fortunate that the world is a globe; otherwise, people in Western civilization would fall off the edge.)
marble says
Proof that the problem extends beyond the Canadian border is the fact that the expense is a mere forty-four cents per person, I reversed figures in the mathematics. So what, an even better deal, national suicide for all!
paul says
My calculation is about $7,000 per family if there are less than 6….
خَليفة says
You cannot solve a problem which you don’t understand.
Failing to consider Islamic doctrine when dealing with Muslims ensures that you will never have all the facts, and thus, will never be able to solve the problem.
Canada is like a horse with blinders on, they think the blinders offer safety, but now they can only see the narrow path to dhimmitude.
marble says
So true, but for other people, too. Like bulls in a ring so focused on the red cape.

In Germany a huge problem is that many ‘refugees’ have ‘lost’ their papers. A commonly named birthday mentioned by them is, apparently 1 January. And the authorities just accept any obvious nonsense the people come up with. Another problem: grown men pretending they are minors and getting away with crimes.

“They would have known from the outset that this program would never work, and that there is no way to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslim migrants. ”
If there is no way to distinguish, there is no way to vet; then what should the West do with its millions of Muslims as this 21st century unfolds? Keep playing Muslim Roulette? Turn our democratic societies into police states in order to police the Muslims among us? Some day, members of the Counter-Jihad will actually discuss these questions intelligently; meanwhile the West will continue to invite more and more Muslims in; will continue to assume it must accord its Muslims all due rights (and even will continue to bend over backwards making sure that their precious sensibilities are not offended in various ways); will continue to allow Muslims to infiltrate deeper and deeper into the fabric of our societies by acquiring jobs & positions in all institutions — not just the caricature of the taxi or Uber driver or the 7/11 clerk, but also increasingly in government, academe, science, engineering, law enforcement, medicine, business, arts & entertainment, technology, food services, power plants, secretarial, etc. And, of course, during all this, as the decades this 21st century unfold, the deadly spearhead Muslims (front-line jihadists) will metastasize (= get worse = plot worse and worse and more numerous terror attacks, using any & all manner of weapons, from chemical to biological to radioactive to other ingenious means only people with too much time on their hands and too much fanaticism in their brains could concoct).
Judi says
Fessitude – unfortunately, here in the UK it’s already happened. Not only are they taxi/uber drivers, 7/11 clerks, security guards,restaurant workers, etc. but serve on city councils, have the monopoly in butcher shops(halal), grocery shops, fashion stores, (nothing more annoying than to have some ugly hijab wearing muslima asking whether I need help) etc. and most frightening are working in our hospitals, pharmacies, airports and railway stations. Brave New World (not).

Now you’re mixing things. Incoming “syrian” “refugees” or muslim migrants can be dealt with by turning them down. But not native citizens. What do you propose, parachuting them to Sudan?
“Turn our democratic societies into police states in order to police the Muslims among us?”
Huh, what? That was your suggestion to begin with, remember?
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/09/dutch-air-force-sergeant-joins-islamic-state-in-first-such-desertion
Remember? I objected that idea of yours since the beginning on the grounds that no one would want to live in a police state, which was what you wanted to turn our societies into. Will I see a “I truly apologize, Angemon, you were right all along and I was wrong”? I doubt it. This is at least the second time you back down and grant my point, despite the months you spent deriding, insulting, ridiculing and attacking me (and others) for stating them. Where’s the apology? Where’s the admittance of error?
“Some day, members of the Counter-Jihad will actually discuss these questions intelligently”
Meanwhile, others will continue to propagate seditious nonsense such as “total deportation” and insulting their critics.

The Canadian government can’t run their healthcare system well either. I assume thousands are still coming while they’re bogged down in paperwork. There’s really no way to tell if the migrants are going to do violence or not besides supernatural discernment.
David says
Gee, somebody should have mentioned beforehand that it would do no good to try and vet these people, and they would be a problem. What else could we have done with sixteen million dollars…ideas, anyone?
Baucent says
“Under the pilot project, the RCMP vetted potential refugees already in Canada”
There is one major problem. The “refugees” shouldn’t even be allowed in unless they can be identified, vetted and confirmed to be bona fide. Of course the major problem is that records have either been destroyed in Syria or fraudulently being generated by Jihadist and people smugglers. The end result is Western governments have an impossible job trying to identify security risks.

Someone in Canada who can calculate……with no knowledge of doctrine puts both Canada and the U.S. in a target zone for clever pious disruption..good thing you have lots of land to partition. it is divide and multiply….once rooted.
The misdirection of religious protection status works well….hey?.

What the heck.
It’s 16 million they got to blow through playing make believe.
The best money to spend is other people’s.

Wasting that kind of money is the whole point of ignoring the danger of islam!
Government operates on a motto that “There’s No Money In Solutions!”
I am amazed! says
The only way to deal with this, if the are not identify-able, immediately returned beck at their own expense, And those who would stay, change the law – not wearing burka, shoul or any head cover, no gathering or grouping, must immediately start to learn English/French, attend the school and work within one year. Missing day in school without doctor’s prove of being sick, will result rejection from school and no support / soc. assistance or any other subsidy, period. Furthermore, lose of any possible chances to get Can. citizenship. Treated them like we would be treated if we don’t pay the bills. Don’t forget, they are all terrorists, you can’t tell them apart form good ones only because there are no good ones. They are wild, untamed and bloody thirsty bastards. We are all going to pay dearly for this vanity of our immature prime minister. It will cost us money, that is already costing us hundreds of million of dollars, suffering and lives.
So pay your taxes. I know it sounds like extreme measures, but there is no other way to get this under control. All pilot projects are just to full us, to make us believe that government is doing anything about it. In reality, they are not an don’t want to either…
GOOD LUCK Canada!
