CANADA IMMIGRATION- GOVERNMENT OF CANADA- Helping Refugees coming from Hell to our Heaven - our Canada
Love u Pope Francis... u have brought sanity to an insane world- thank God for the voice of 7 billion of us and our environment. QUOTE: Wishing for a year better than 2015, Pope Francis on Friday called for an end to the "arrogance of the powerful" that relegates the weak to the outskirts of society, and to the "false neutrality" toward conflicts, hunger and persecution that triggers exoduses of refugees.
In his New Year's homily, Francis emphasized the need to "let ourselves be reborn, to overcome the indifference which blocks solidarity, and to leave behind the false neutrality which prevents sharing."

BEST QUOTE OF 2015 from UN : “It is terrifying that on the one hand there is more and more impunity for those starting conflicts, and on the other there is seeming utter inability of the international community to work together to stop wars and build and preserve peace,” said UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres in June. 2014
