Liberal Leader

Liberal Leader: The poll found a total of 71 per cent either support or somewhat support increasing the current quota of refugees from Syria, while about one in four oppose or somewhat oppose an increase, according to CTV. Only a small number -- three per cent -- are unsure. At the same time, those polled were divided on which party leader has had the best response to the issue. Support for upping the quota is higher in Ontario and British Columbia , and lower in the Prairies , Atlantic Canada and Quebec . When asked about having the government of Canada incur the costs to airlift refugees out of Syria -- a proposal made by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau earlier this month -- about six in 10 either support or somewhat support the idea, while about four in 10 either oppose or somewhat oppose that plan. A larger proportion -- 19 per cent -- said they are unsure about which of the federal party leaders … has been best at responding to this issue. Again, only a small number -- four per cent -- are unsure. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
