security threat: He said he could have more to say on that question very soon, a signal of a possible upcoming campaign announcement, according to The Toronto Star. Harper was also asked if he would elaborate on the security threat he believes might be posed by Syrian refugees coming into Canada, but he refused, saying the short answer is, ‘no.’ He went on to state he’d visited refugee camps in Jordan and elsewhere in the Middle East and seen the deplorable conditions and was well aware of the suffering of so many. Under growing public pressure to act more swiftly, Harper was asked by reporters after a campaign event what specific measures he’d already taken. He told the small partisan crowd that his government had moved before the crisis hit the headlines to increase the number of Syrians resettled as refugees here. It said, under Harper, the government eliminated the processing backlog at a refugee-application processing centre in Winnipeg. After Harper spoke following the campaign event on Thursday, the party circulated an email to reporters with additional information they had been seeking for days.
