There have been gruesome, positively gruesome crimes committed by homegrown New Brunswickers, so it cannot be attributed to culture. If he is a newcomeror a recent immigrant then it should be seen whether there was a history of breaking the law before his arrival. Ridiculous money is charged from immigration applicants for easy to screen diseases like TB and Diabetes but there is no mental health screening whatsoever.

In response to the last part of your comment, both things can be true.

Immigrants are being brought in at a breakneck pace and have already overwhelmed our housing and will soon overwhelm our medical and social support systems. It is also true that they are charged an obscene amount of money for what amounts to a basic blood tests and basic X-rays. The people making the real money off those investigations are the health providers 'approved by Canadian Immigration' to perform those tests in countries that these people are applying from.

To add to your concern about immigration from countries where social equality concerns take a backseat, what the common Canadian is unaware of is the hardcore right wing ideologies that many of the recent immigrants come with.
