The poor child...his relatives here in Canada had put in a sponsorship request that was denied by the Canadian government...that denial may have played a part in their ill fated attempt to cross the Mediterranean sea in a rickety boat...Now, they (the Canadian government) are trying to save face by offering a citizenship to the father...Sadness all around.
