I did formulate a response to why the homelessness argument wasn't valid and that was ignored.

Those problems are deep rooted, systematic and societal problems that have a replenishing base. This is an opportunity to provide direct help that should be beneficial for Canada and in turn all of those issues in the long run.

If you don't help with the refugee crisis, then how do you pick which global crisis you do aid? Tsunami relief in Japan? Earthquake in Haiti? Ebola in Africa? Clearly Canada should just ignore all of those world emergencies cause not only do we have all of the problems you just listed at home, but also, unlike the refugee situation, aiding the situations I listed provides ZERO benefit to Canada.

So do we become isolationist?

If so, lets hope we never need help.
