About 40 per cent of the people in shelters are refugee claimants

I agree with Chow: since the federal government is in control of the influx of refugees, it should foot the bill for supporting them adequately. If they don't want to pay, they should not have invited them in the first place.

Agreed. Part of the reason a refugee migrates is because they don't have stable living arrangements in their home country. If we can't offer to improve that for them, we're just bringing them out of the fire and into the frying pan at the taxpayer's expense.

I think even conservative Torontonians can get behind this.
