Syrian refugee: POLITICS BRIEFING By John Ibbitson The 10,000th Syrian refugee is expected to arrive in Canada today, according to Globe and Mail. Whether she feels welcomed will test the skills of this new Liberal government. Sign upto get it by e-mail each morning. Apart from some missed deadlines, the Syrian airlift has gone amazingly well. If the operation were being handled in a slapdash, careless or politically motivated manner, we’d have heard about it by now from sources inside or close to the Immigration Department. Polls show most Canadians support the operation to bring 25,000 refugees to Canada by the end of February and between 35,000 and 50,000 by the end of the year. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
