Winter Storm Dept: SCOTT AND HEATHER HELPS: For being good Samaritans. During the winter storm that shut down Highway 402 this week, the egg farmers opened their home, which fronts on the highway near Reeces Corners, to provide shelter to about 10 stranded motorists. The Helpses seemed matter-of-fact about their generosity. But as the Star s Debra Black reported, the motorists they welcomed out of the cold saw them as a godsend. Indeed.

In response to the disaster that saw dozens of migrants die this week as their rickety boat foundered off Australia, Canada s immigration minister said the incident underscores the need to pass his bill slapping new restrictions on boat people. I don t want to be a minister of immigration on whose watch a vessel headed for Canada filled with illegal migrants goes down in the Pacific Ocean because we have not taken sufficiently strong action, he said. Interestingly, Kenney s bill is modelled on Australia s boat people regime, which did not seem to deter the migrants killed this week. As
reported in the news.
