Dead Boy In The Sea

Wednesday’s Twitter feeds were jammed with the body of a young corpse of a boy facing down in the sand as an authority stood over the body and soon picked him up to carry his body away. I realized the boy was from a refugee family that didn’t make a boat crossing. He was a Syrian attempting to leave Turkey. His family had sought refuge in Canada. Regrettably, the Canadian Government did not make it possible, and the family fled Turkey by boat and most of them died.

Growing concerned that this woman is going to be savaged by this govt. https://t.co/zLFyZ6KxeO she needs a human rights advocate immediately

Experts on Syria agree that Syrians main problem is NOT ISIS: it is Assad & his barrel bombs. Harper is misrepresenting facts. #PT

"No other country has resettled so many Iraqis," Alexander says, "and now we're trying to do the same in Syria."
