Justin Trudeau and Stubborn Determination

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall: Although the Liberal pledge should be applauded, the new government has helped fuel this backlash by its stubborn determination to meet an arbitrary deadline forged in the hothouse of election campaign politics, according to The Chronicle Herald. By holding to the Jan. 1 deadline, Trudeau has allowed opponents a foot in the door and they are using the question of timing to try to stop or minimize the initiative. But make no mistake, a backlash against Justin Trudeau plan to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to this country is taking root and seems certain to build. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall politely calls the federal plan noble and he is correct when he says the Liberal initiative need not be date-driven. I am asking you to suspend your current plan to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of the year and to re-evaluate this goal and the processes in place to achieve it, he says in a letter to Trudeau. But he is wrong when he says it need not be numbers-driven. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
