"the concrete actions that he has taken in his war on immigrants"
  That should read illegal immigrants.

"This compassionate country can handle the load"
The 'load' in the first  6  months is evidently 4000 people. If you think that makes you a "compassionate country" you need a reality check. That's probably a weekly figure in many western democracies. And Americans were called racists here on a daily basis for trying to control over 10 million illegals.

The attitude that's always on  display when this topic is written about here is that Canada should be completely  immune to a world wide problem.

Last week Trump proposed a merit immigration policy "similar to Canada and Australia" and it was immediately attacked as racist. 

The omission of the Trudeau invite in this editorial is an affront  to honest journalism.
