The hypocrisy of Toronto's major to claim his City is full. Assuredly Toronto could make cuts in some other area such as how Sweden is raising the age to receive retirement benefits to pay for refugee welfare. We are a global community. The people of Toronto can assuredly sacrifice a little for the greater good. Who does John Tory think he is to claim his City is full?

Canada’s biggest city is unable to accommodate any more asylum seekers, Toronto’s mayor has warned, after temporary resettlements used to house them reached near full capacity.
“We have exhausted our available sites, our resources and our personnel,” Mayor John Tory said on Tuesday, as he sought help from provincial and federal governments to resettle new arrivals.
This comes after Toronto activated an emergency contingency plan in May to shelter refugee claimants as it was bracing for an influx of migrants over the summer.
The rare move underscored the strain caused by the inflow of asylum seekers in Canada, which has seen more than 30,000 asylum seekers illegally crossing the Canada-US border since Donald Trump came to office last year.
