The Big Heart of Immigration Canada

A Somali man who has lived in Toronto for 15 years and raised four children is facing deportation to Berbera, Somalia, devastated by the recent tsunami. Of all the stories about the generosity of the Canadian government in disaster relief and humanitarian aid, don’t forget this one. As the man’s lawyer has stated, it makes no sense to fast-track immigration applications from tsunami-ravaged countries while deporting those already here right back there.

On a related note, those who have already started applauding the efforts of the Canadian government need a reality check.
