Answer to refugee crisis includes military mission, Harper says

Stephen Harper wants Canadians to see the big picture, the one beyond the photo of Alan Kurdi’s lifeless little body face-down on a beach in Turkey.
The Conservative leader says the big picture is not just that a three-year-old’s life should end so tragically trying to escape Syria with his family across the Mediterranean in a rowboat.
It’s that the response to the crisis in Syria — all the people fleeing civil war and attacks by ISIS, all the people for whom risking death at sea is a viable option to living in fear in their homeland — involves more than Canada accepting larger numbers of refugees from that country.
