Add that to ill equipped unnecessary fighter jets, scraping the gun registry after spending the money to set it up, a 2 million dollar fake lake for a backdrop for the G 20 meeting.....etc...

But its from a Conservative government, so the press simply cannot veer off of their pre-decided meme that Cons are great at the business and economy....because.....they HAVE to be.....because EVERYONE knows that the more left you are the more irresponsible you are with people's money....right?

"For decades, foreign students and temporary workers in the Toronto area wanting to extend their stay in Canada have been forced to travel to the Buffalo consulate to apply for the necessary changes to their visas.

But the Harper government is putting an end to what became known in immigration circles as the "Buffalo shuffle" by getting rid of the requirement that foreigners have to leave the country for interviews regarding a requested visa change.

Instead, officials say, foreigners wanting to alter their visas will be able to apply and pay the necessary fees online, and if an interview with Canadian officials is necessary, they will be conducted at immigration offices in Canada.

Government statistics show that at any given time there are approximately 400,000 foreigners in Canada on various kinds of temporary visas."

Canada does a good job with their immigration system though Harper proves that he can waste millions.
