Comment: We had a real ''migrant crisis'' in Australia when 50000 illegal boat arrivals washed up on our northern shores several years ago., courtesy of people smugglers We're still getting rid of them and the problems is almost resolved. It was a caustic, divisive and extremely expensive experience. Canada should do everything in its power to avert a similar scenario. It all depends on how much resolve your PM has, but somethings tells me he's not that type of guy.
