Doug Ford: Families and Police Officer

doug ford: The children who are starving, terrified and in grave danger are just that children, according to Toronto Star. A paramilitary police officer carries the lifeless body of Aylan Kurdi, 3, after a number of migrants died and a smaller number were reported missing after boats carrying them to the Greek island of Kos. The devastating image of Alan's tiny body on the beach reminded us all that the families caught in the refugee crisis are just like our families. Uncredited / AP But last week, without warning, Doug Ford and Social Services Minister Lisa Mac Leod announced that the Ontario government is done helping families like Alan's, and they will no longer help municipalities cope with rising numbers of refugees and asylum seekers. It's that simple. Ford and Mac Leod are in the wrong. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
