This is nothing new.
Remember the 'Lebanese-Canadians'. The 7000 or so who moved back to Beruit to live and own businesses but then slagged Canada off for not evacuating them quickly enough?
They weren't refugees, but Canadians of convenience.
But I posted in another thread being told people who came here as refugees going back to the old country every year for a nice holiday when it gets too cold here.
Then there's an article in the G&M by an Iranian woman about some Iranian guy who went back home, got arrested and is now winging we're not helping him enough. If a person from North Korea went back for a visit and got arrested, would s/he really deserve sympathy? Same with everybody else who fled a repressive regime but then just has to go back - that Somali guy comes to mind, who's now suing the govt.
It's really getting embarrassing about how much Canada allows itself to be played as a sucker, and some Canadians seem to actually approve or even be proud of it. As somebody else posted - there's a reason why the name of our country ends with 'duh'.
