Syrian-Canadians: Maria Mourani

Maria Mourani: Maria Mourani, the MP for Ahuntsic, said current government policies force Syrian-Canadians to choose between separating from their families or risking their lives to stay together, according to CBC. Its the case for Marie Farahs family in Syria. Her nephews children are all Canadian citizens, except for one and Syrian-Montrealers held a protest Wednesday in front of some federal offices, demanding the Canadian government help bring their relatives in the war-torn country to Canada. Its impossible to think that they would leave the child there and come to Canada. So this is disgusting, Mourani said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
