Saudi Arabia

: The Tory candidate running for re-election in the Toronto riding of Don Valley North appears to be referencing Saudi Arabia controversial offer to build mosques in Germany for thousands of Syrian refugees, while the Arab nation also shuts its own doors to those seeking asylum. "So I think there is a different agenda going on in terms of these refugees," Daniel says in the recording. "Whereas at the same time Saudi Arabia is putting up money for 200 mosques in Germany, according to Huffington Post Canada. So I think the agenda is to try and move as many Muslims into some of these European countries to change those countries in a major way. "That is something I certainly don't want to see happening in Canada." Daniel, first elected in 2011, is originally from Tanzania. And in a 52-second video first published by The Toronto Star and submitted to The Huffington Post Canada, Joe Daniel says he does not want the same thing to occur in Canada. In the clip, he says Canada has given people like himself the chance to "get engaged in politics." According to The Star Tim Harper, Daniel made the remarks at a barbecue in his riding last weekend. His campaign manager told CBC News that while it is up to Daniel to explain his remarks, he felt they were "taken out of context" and "blown out of proportion." Video recorded as Alexander announces change Last Saturday, Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced that the federal government will accelerate the processing of Syrian refugee applications by ensuring those fleeing the civil war won't have to prove they are conventional refugees under the United Nations Refugee Agency. Huff Post has reached out to Daniel to provide more context to the comments. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
