President Attempts: Canada and Syrian Refugees

president attempts: In the article titled Canada, Leading the Free World, U.S. journalist Nicholas Kristof praises Canada for its inviting immigration policy, at a time when all around the world, countries are slamming the doors shut, according to CTV. It may now be the finest example of the values of the Statue of Liberty, Kristof wrote in the op-ed published Saturday. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! A New York Times columnist has suggested that famous inscription on the Statue of Liberty applies more to Canada than Donald Trump's America these days, as the U.S. president attempts to shut his country's doors to immigrants from several majority Muslim nations, while Canada welcomes tens of thousands of Syrian refugees. The piece is a largely rose-coloured examination of Canada's immigration policies, hailing it as a haven for immigrants and open-mindedness, with little mention of some of the more vehement critics of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's inviting approach. Kristof, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist, called the story a big slobbery kiss for Canada on Twitter. Kristof praises Canada's private sponsorship program, touts diversity at the highest levels of government, and suggests based on a poll that Canadians now take more pride in multiculturalism than in hockey.
