Earth Calling Trudeau


Earth calling Justin Trudeau. While Trudeau's election campaign promise regarding Syrian refugees connected with many people, to toss out numbers that for all intents and purposes was really unattainable in the time frames noted was simply irresponsible. After making the promise of having 25,000 refugees here in Canada by the end of 2015, Trudeau had to lower that figure to 10,000 with the promise that the balance would be here in a couple of more months. Amid more promises of resettling up to 50,000 refugees in Canada by the end of 2016, the government is  now saying it is possible the 10,000 planned for this year may not all be on Canadian soil by year-end. Although the humanitarian aspect of this endeavour is remarkable, hopefully the government will reconsider creating objectives which are beyond reach when it addresses other pressing priorities.
