Absolutely amazing. How things have changed. In the 1930's there was no government support and handouts for immigrants. In fact, you could only gety off the boat if you had money to sustain yourself for a year. That sum was $500. Now an interest group want Canada to hand out pensions before they've even received citizenship.
