It appears this government is listening and acting and making tough decision including targeting illegal migrants and their lobbyists.<br /><br />Is it working, heck yes. Same with religious groups and traditional families that share conservative values.<br /><br /><br />The Conservatives have adopted a very different, and more laudable, strategy in courting the immigrant vote — one that is apparent in the substance of the leaked memo from Mr. Kenney’s office. Canada’s liberal journalists may be aghast at the prospect of Ottawa soliciting immigrant support on the basis of “social conservatism” — but the fact is that many new Canadians are more religious and family-oriented than the rest of us. And the Conservatives owe no apologies for appealing to them on this basis. Certainly, it is preferable for our government to tap into immigrants’ shared sense of traditional Canadian values than to treat them through the lens of victimhood and identity politics. -National Post Editorial March 04, 2011CanadianSensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01010880162544507668noreply@blogger.com
