Political Head Scratcher

Last night, I was watching our federal leaders talk about the economy.

They all agreed that infrastructure has to be built. Then they agreed that there was unemployment. Then they agreed that there was a skills shortage. Harper repeated his line about immigration being a cornerstone of his economic policy. Then all three leaders agreed that it was a good thing bringing in Syrian refugees because Canada well benefit from new blood.

This morning, I was speaking with a 12 year boy who also watched the debate. The boy goes to a school with a large number of illegal kids.  He asked why Canada was bringing in new blood without proven skills at the same time that thousands of skilled illegal workers, already building infrastructure, were being deported.

Maybe 12 year olds should be running this country.
