Justin Trudeau and Refugees From Syria

: He pledged that if his Liberals were elected, Canada would accept 25,000 refugees from Syria by the end of the year, according to The Waterloo Record. All that was required, he said last September, was "political will." We know how the story proceeded from there. After the world was galvanized last summer by the plight of Syrian refugees trying to escape a dreadful war, Justin Trudeau made himself the candidate of compassion. The Liberals won the election last October, in part because of Trudeau ability to personify cherished Canadian values such as decency and generosity. His new government was simply unable to screen, process, and transport all those people by January, so it took two months longer than scheduled. He was there at the airport to greet the first arrivals from Syria, to great media fanfare. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
