NADDAWAY: I'm sure the Syrian refugees have figured out by now that life for the poor in this country is no picnic. I've seen the TV news items covering their need to access food banks and their complaints about lack of access to nutritious foods. Also, there was an item on the news the other day about how many of these refugees are set to transition from federal and private sponsorship support onto provincial/municipal welfare and housing programs in the very near future. Some will take up to a decade to integrate economically and the cost of the program is likely to balloon into the billions of tax dollars as time passes.
