Calgary Herald Dept: I wholeheartedly agree with your excellent and courageous editorial, which is one of the few voices of support, according to Calgary Herald.

From a purely compassionate and political standpoint, continuing with high family reunification numbers would be the easy way. Economically, it simply is not a sound principle. As reported in the news.
