- According to
France's Defense Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, 800,000 migrants are
currently in Libyan territory waiting to cross the Mediterranean.
- The multitude
of very costly social problems that Muslim migration into Europe has
caused thus far, do not exist in this whitewashed European Union
report, where the "research" indicates that migrants are
always a boon. Similarly, any mention of the very real security
costs necessitated by the Islamization occurring in Europe, and the
need for monitoring of potential jihadists, simply goes unmentioned.
- Several
European states have a less optimistic picture of the prospect of
another three million migrants arriving on Europe's borders than
either the Pope or the European Commission do.

introduction of border controls to stem the flow of migrants. (Image

Pope Francis, on his recent visit to the Greek island of Lesbos,
said that Europe must respond to the migrant crisis with solutions that
are "worthy of humanity." He also decried "that dense pall
of indifference that clouds hearts and minds." The Pope then
proceeded to demonstrate what he believes is a response "worthy of
humanity" by bringing 12 Syrian Muslims with him on his plane to
Italy. "It's a drop of water in the sea. But after this drop, the
sea will never be the same," the Pope mused.

- The real
question is: does Moridi represent the Canadian-Iranian community in
Canada, or was he just collecting their votes to represent the
Iranian and the Azerbaijani governments to Canada?
- Although Moridi
has ridden to his present position on the Iranian votes in Canada,
he has changed faces and seems to be representing the interests of
several other governments and institutions -- including the Iranian
regime; the Islamic Revolutionary Guards business empire and its
links in Iran and Canada, and the Azerbaijani government; he is not
representing the cultural and political interests of Canada or the
Iranian-Canadians who gave him a seat in the Ontario government.
Reza Moridi is pictured above in a 2012 campaign video
for Ontario Liberal Party leader Kathleen Wynne.
In Iran's political establishment, as in others, there are often
opportunistic figures who change their colors and views, apparently based
on what they might gain politically and economically.
A current example is Reza Moridi, a Canadian citizen originally from
Iran, who is currently a Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) in Ontario
and the provincial government's Minister of Research and Innovation.
Originally, to benefit from the votes of Iranian-Canadian
constituents, Moridi strongly opposed human rights abuses committed by
the Iranian regime and rejected the idea of rapprochement with Iran,
currently the world leader per capita in executing people.
