Do you chalk it up to a broken promise or a smart, evidence-based move?

I don't know.

I want to say broken promise, because it was clear to every single (logical) person that flying in a 747's worth of refugees every single day from election day to Dec 31 was completely stupid logistically, never mind the security issues.

But at the same time, it's a very prudent move based on reality.

I just don't want Trudeau to get credit for saying one thing during the campaign, and discrediting Harper/Mulcair's refugee plan (which were far more realistic and measured), and then get credit for "being realistic" after he's elected.
