Conservatives: The Conservatives would also bring an additional 10,000 refugees from Iraq and Syria to Canada, Harper said, according to Toronto Star. We live in a world which is becoming ever more dangerous, a world for which this country, Canada, is a haven for some and an inspiration for all people, Harper said during the press conference. At a campaign stop in Markham, Ont., on Monday morning, Harper said a re-elected Conservative government would launch a three-year program to support persecuted religious minorities in the region, and organizations working to protect religious monuments and artifacts threatened with destruction. On Sunday, Harper announced a plan to restrict Canadians’ ability to travel to regions of the world controlled by terrorist groups. At a campaign stop in Montreal Monday morning, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau called the Conservatives’ plan nothing more than electoral posturing. That would apply to a very small number of areas in the world, obviously parts of Iraq and Syria, he said on Monday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
