While I disagree with everything Mr. Douceppe stands for he was by far the lesser of 2 evils as leader. The former leader Mario Beaulieu was a racist pig of a man. Check out these real videos of him going around Montreal denouncing businesses who he thinks are putting the french language in danger. You cannot make this stuff up.

Trudeau stands by refugees promise
Justin Trudeau says he will deliver on his promise to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of 2015, in an exclusive television interview airing this Saturday on W5.
When asked about the refugees commitment, Trudeau said “that’s something we’re getting cracking on right away,” adding that he has already met with the Clerk of the Privy Council and the Governor General about implementing his platform.
The Liberal leader told CTV Question Period in early September that he supports sending Canadian military planes with security and immigration officials to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria to airlift refugees out of the region, as Canada did in 1979 to rescue fleeing Vietnamese.

I don't think that's enough time to do proper screening, nor to have things in place in Canada to receive the refugees.

I saw an interview with one of our former military men and he said we could easily bring in 50,000 by xmas. Sorry can't remember the guy's name.
I don't agree with bringing in that many because I don't believe many of them are truly refugees, but that's just my opinion. I do think may of them are trouble and this has already been proven in Italy and Germany.

I also agree that it takes time to screen people, and even with the time frame countries have been working with, are not screening well enough. These people are taking what they can carry which doesn't always translate to what they will actually need, many have no documents etc and could be anyone. The way refugee screening within Canada works also means that they are densely populated in some areas which with 25k will cause issues itself

Less than one week after guiding his party to a surprise majority in the federal election, Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau has already filed 35 million workplace harassment complaints against his employers, the people of Canada. “Obviously this isn’t the way I envisioned starting a new job,” explained Trudeau, “But I can’t work like this. Everywhere I go, women keep calling me names like ‘The PMILF,’ telling me to smile more, and yelling things like “show us your abs!” This morning, Marc Garneau and Bill Blair had a 45-minute conversation about how able I am. In my office. Right in front me.”
The Liberal leader went on to add that the problem is even worse online, where his social media feeds have been inundated with shirtless photos of him, invitations from constituents to “Netflix and chill,” as well as countless links to editorial pieces on what political insiders all agree is “a pretty stellar D”.
The harassment has become so pervasive, Trudeau notes, that’s it’s even spread beyond Canada’s borders.
“Angela Merkel drunk dialled me at 3am last night,” recounted the Papineau MP, “To tell me she’d rather sit on my face than on the UN Security Council.”
Short answer : no Long answer : NOOOOOOOOOOO!

24 Sussex a sh*&thole. Here is an article from 2011 and guess who's fault it was that nothing was done to it even though the recommendations came in 2008.

(response to Patty's post, sorry - forgot to quote)
It's needed repairs and renovations much longer than that - it's surely not the fault of the Harpers.
They seemed to have managed quite well there raising their family, without having to have the absolute best of everything - but then, they are rather modest people.
Any urgent repairs were done as needed, more done during the summer when they weren't there.
