Syrian Refugees and Trudeau Refugee Policy

: Because it was one of the Liberals’ most time-sensitive undertakings, the campaign commitment to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees before the end of the year was always a strong candidate for early failure, according to The Chronicle Herald. Election promises often involve a certain amount of shovelling inconvenient details forward. It is also a well-executed political play. Trudeau refugee policy featured more of that than usual. With little more than 10 weeks between the election and the deadline, the notion that the logistical pieces of the refugee resettlement puzzle would fall in place in a timely fashion required a lot of magical thinking. The commitment to a Jan. 1 deadline set the stage for a potential boondoggle. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
