Send them back. Close the damn borders to those that try and enter this way. We're already an international doormat. What's a true Canadian anymore?

Give them medicine, food, fuel and send them on their way back. There are too many Canadian citizens denied all of the FREE benefits that these people will receive by virtue of just floating up on our shores. Disgusting !

I came to Canada from the UK as a small child in 1962 and became a citizen 9 yrs later...My father had a job set up before we came ..this people will come to Canada and get free clothes ..free bathroom gear..free room and board...and set up with jobs after drying up our funds to support them until they are settled ..SEND THEM BACK

If they want to come to Canada, let them apply (and get accepted) for immigration status from Sri Lanka.

Why the Canadian authorities didn't intercept the ship & turn it away before it entered our waters just shows what a candy-ass country we've become.

does it make sense our soldiers are dying fighting islamic terrorists and they can just sail into this country at will? our government is pathetic

If Australia can refuse entry, why can't Canada? Guess who is going to foot the bill for housing, medical, education, etc. for these people; you're right, ME & YOU. FOLKS, CANADA IS MUCH TOO SOFT !!!!

Maybe its just a cruise ship and this is their first stop. Hopefully not the last one!

Enough already ! This country has to stop letting these people in on our hard earned tax dollars. Turn that ship around and chase them back to where they came from !

Yes they should be turned away. If they want to come to Canada they can do it through the proper channels.
