Federation Canadian Municipalities

Canadian Municipalities: The Canadian public are not very happy with the Canadian response, says Brad Woodside, the mayor of Fredericton and past president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, according to CTV. Last week, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities approved a recommendation calling on Ottawa to coordinate the efforts of communities across the country to amplify the effectiveness of the response to the refugee crisis. Hundreds of thousands of Syrians are seeking asylum after fleeing civil war in their country, and while Ottawa actions are pending, pressure is mounting from the provinces and municipalities. I know that there churches here, I know that there people doing it, says Woodside. For Aamir Jamal, the images of thousands of Syrians pouring into Europe are a painful reminder. What we need is, we need a clearing house, we need rules in place, regulations in place, and how to do this in a more controlled effort. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
