Canadian children sing Arabic song, video goes viral.

[Shalimar]

People around the world are singing the praises of an Ottawa area kid's choral group after their performance of a traditional Arabic song exploded on YouTube this weekend.

This song was sung by Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, and atheists at a Xmas concert. In our diversity lies our strength. Merry Xmas everyone!

Merci, Annie. We still battle system racism, but we are trying. Saw a video of some city in Canada where smiling Syrian women wearing hijabs, were holding signs saying from Syria with love. They were passing out food and drink to delighted passersby. I lost it.

Beautiful! Canada is a shining example for the rest of the world.

I agree.

I love massed children's choirs and the people who work with the children.
They are a force for good and social cohesion.

They should remmember history the Amwrican Indians welcome all these people from Europe and ask them now if they made a mistake.

We all know the answer to that.

Canada is a multicultural nation. I am proud of our handling of the Syrian refugee problem. It works for us.

It makes more sense to spend the money fixing the problem in Syria instead of bring their problem here . Whatever happened to the word peace stop the fighting and help rebuild their country. This idea of bring over people who we just finished destroying their country and then bring them here they just might be a little piss off and would like revenge. It seems that The UN lead group wants to destroy every country in the middle east where they were quite happy. Then flood the world with their refugees. Just a quick look at what is happening in Europe should wake people up but it is not happening because they don’t want you to know or do something about it.

Over the next few months, Canada is accepting twenty-five thousand vetted Syrian refugees. Women, children families, but no single men at this time. These people will be a valuable addition to our multicultural nation. Families arriving in my town this week. Looking forward to meeting, and perhaps working with some of them.
