Canadian soldiers evacuate their barracks to make room for Syrians
Jerry920 sends us a link from CTV which reports that soldiers at the military barracks in Kingston, Ontario were ordered out of their barracks to make room for Syrian refugees. Minister of Immigration and Refugees John McCallum made the declaration earlier this year that 25,000 refugees were headed to Canada by the end of this year;
Multiple residences at CFB Kingston are being cleared for Nov. 30 to house the refugees, according to an internal memo obtained by CTV News.
The orders will also affect some officer cadets attending the Royal Military College, many of whom are nearing exams.
And while the memo warns of the fast-approaching deadline, it does not indicate where military personnel will be resettled. However, it does say a place will be found for the personnel.
Because refugees are more important than soldiers, apparently. If you’re wondering where Kingston, Ontario is, it’s just across the Saint Lawrence River from New York State – just a few miles from Fort Drum;
So, it’s just like bringing refugees to the US without bringing them to the US.

“Because refugees are more important than soldiers”. Well, yeah. Just ask Mr. Trudeau. Besides, some of those soldiers are probably Islamophobes.
Not to worry, Canada has said they’re only taking women, children and families. No single, military-age men. What could go wrong, it’s not like women have strapped on suicide vests or anything, right? Or, that “married” men could be jihadis.
Canada, has much larger radical problem than US.
You do math.
Not good!
Beyond not good…it is unadulterated BULLSHYT! Screw Trudeau along with obozo!!
…Were I a Canuckistanian, that would be the sound of me trying to find the nearest way out of that force, because when it’s apparent my higher ups care more about some potential radicals than their own goddamn personnel, I have to lose faith in every level of leadership above me.
Yep.
The US-Canada border is not properly monitored, especially to the west.

We all need to be as alert as possible.
I remember being taught in HS geography that it is THE largest unguarded National Border in the world.
And one can assume said accommodations are inside the Cantonment area?
If I had dependents on Post they would be packing right now.
On a couple levels
Barracks seems appropriate for a bunch of military-age men. And a base might be a place to contain them.
I simply cannot square the notion that most of these people are young, very aggressive men, with the notion that they are refugees. I simply cannot imagine the menfolk in my family leaving their families behind in a war zone, to seek refuge for themselves.
I keep hearing different versions of that, but can’t find any trustworthy sources. I’ve heard 70-90% MAMs from different folks and the Left steadfastly claiming just “old people, women and children.”
Some video definitely shows a preponderance of young men, but who knows when or where it was taken?
BREAKING NEWS! Bodaprez is going to give a naddress on homeland security at 11:40AM EST in one (of the rooms named at a color?)
Tune in!

It’ll probably be a demand that everyone stop talking about terrorism, so he can go sing Kumbaya with all of the ecofreaks in Paris.
STOP TALKING ABOUT MY PRESIDENT THAT WAY!!! YOU ARE ALL SUCH BAD PEOPLE WITH YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE!!! I’LL SHOW YOU!!!
Canada isn’t worried because slowly but surely they’ll all end up in the US. By the end of 2016, they’ll have no refugees.
I would not be surprised if the Canadians put up cots in their gymnasium and force the Soldiers to sleep there.
As if it would be too much trouble and pain to have the Syrian refugees do the same instead of moving these Soldiers and all their belongings out of the barracks.
I hope the Soldiers don’t expect to get their barracks back in the shape they left them. Back in ’76, our Wing Commander decided everyone was confined to the base; this included the folks living in town. Since I was already TDY, my room was one of the ones invaded by the off base living GI’s. When I returned to my room, all of my beer and snacks were gone, never to be replaced.
Your buddies got your goods the day you left. I can picture your blank-faced buds blaming the new guys.
Not those guys; sure, they would have borrowed the woman I (or anyone else) snuck in, but they would have returned her. In that unit, the way to ensure one passed room inspections was to have the First Shirt’s brand of beer in the ‘fridge.
We would roll a bottle of cognac under the false floor of the steel stand up closets.
The best way past the First Shirt’s inspections is the be a Field Trooper. Leave it neat; you will never see that room again.
I wonder how quickly the “refugees” will turn said barracks into unliveable filthy shitholes? I give them a week at the most! Do very many of them even know how to use a flush toilet? I bet they’ll be shitting in the shower stalls as soon as they get in there. I wonder if Canadian Military Personnel wil be tasked with looking after and cleaning up behind the fleabags?
You’re shittin’ me, right?
They can’t be any filthier than the “Katrina Refugees” we had housed in barracks at our base. They were only supposed to be there for 2 weeks. Nearly 4 months later the last ones left. With nearly $800,000.00 in damage to the barracks.
Just because you aren’t from Syria doesn’t mean you are civilized and behave any different than a baboon.
A calculated insult to serving troops from the left.
Not to mention security problems.
Put ’em next to the arms room, huh?
It’s coming on winter. The cold will keep them contained. . . until late spring.
And if the troops needed new barracks, well, this will give them an excuse to tear down the old ones and build new ones, once the muzzies are done goat-fuckin’ the place up.
Ok, prepare for my sure-to-be-unpopular opinion. Ready? 3… 2… 1… Of course refugees are more important than troops. Remember the sheep/wolves/sheepdogs metaphor? While there will be some wolves in sheeps’ clothing, most of the refugees are sheep, and the Soldiers are of course sheepdogs. Who better to deal with the wolves amongst the sheep? This is foremost the moral thing to do. I don’t want to put troops in harms way, but that is why I have them. Better them than a civilian. That said, the article doesn’t really say where the troops are moving; it just says that they are preparing ‘residences’. It does heavily imply that the troops are moving out, but it doesn’t explicitly say that. Even if they are, I am not really concerned. These are soldiers, I am sure they can live in a shelter half for a few weeks. I went to Yama Sakura in Japan one year and the JGSDF soldiers slept outside in the snow while we slept in their barracks. There was a foot of snow on the ground. As far as the security risk, what better place to keep an eye on these folks than a military installation? I know that most of you think there are a bunch of terrorists mixed in with the refugees. That is almost definitely true. I acknowledge and expect this. However, I am far less worried about the terrorist that blended in with the refugees than I am with the terrorist that is coming across the border right now undetected, or through a checkpoint with legitimate documents, or the American born kid that is sitting in his basement on a jihadi website as we speak. The fact is that the American approach to security- build a physical barrier and claim to search/screen everyone (AKA The Trump Wall) is widely acknowledged to be one of the worst methodologies. We have what is laughingly called ‘Security Theater’. It makes you feel good because we are ‘getting tough’, but in reality the really bad guys are passing through unnoticed while we catch the exceptionally stupid ones. TSA… Read more »
I agree with you, although I did recall the internment camps where suspect people were put for the duration. I see nothing wrong with this, as long as the security actually is maintained.
In this country, despite our intentions, we tend to be lackadaisical and sloppy at best, and downright dumb at worst, vis a vis the TSA failures.
I don’t think there is any easy answer, but this works for me.
My only real disagreement is that a fence/wall is a necessary component of a border defense system – sure, it isn’t the end of that system, but every post I was on in Iraq had a fence and guard towers.
Just one thing: isn’t that particular spot where some of the worst possible winter weather dumps not just feet, but YARDS of snow in the winter?
Why aren’t College Dorms emptied out for refugees?
