Chris Alexander asks Syrian refugees to wait six more weeks until Conservatives re-elected

AJAX — Citizenship and Immigration Minister has told refugees escaping war-torn and Iraq to hang tight until the Conservatives are given another majority government by the electorate.

“I’m really powerless to change anything until I receive my orders from the PMO,” explained Alexander to the media. “But I can tell you that saving 10,000 more refugees is in our platform and we’ll be ready to move on that once we’ve received a new mandate by voters or, by the latest, 2018. I’m encouraging any of these people fleeing atrocities that if they know any Canadians who are able to vote to make sure they vote Conservative.”

Alexander also encouraged the displaced people who are crammed into railway stations or in internment camps to find a new hobby, go on vacation or educate themselves by taking a university course.

“We will also give special consideration to applicants who have personally thanked Canada for bombing on social media,” added Alexander.
