Is immigration a problem or an opportunity? Do we need walls or doors? The answer to both questions is yes.

For decades, Canada was an outlier. The country took in more immigrants than other developed countries, with little public opposition. Whatever Canada was doing, it seemed to be working. Immigration was popular with voters and a model for the world. Americans--liberals, conservatives, Silicon Valley, and sometimes even Donald Trump--looked to Canada as a source of immigration inspiration.

And, then, in a few short years, it all came undone.

In Borderline Chaos: How Canada Got Immigration Right, and Then Wrong, Tony Keller lays out how a government that had the secret sauce for immigration success forgot the recipe, and broke the system. He also shows how Canadian immigration can be rebuilt better than before, once again to the benefit of Canadians and immigrants, and as a model for the world.

International Education as Public Policy in Canada
In the early twenty-first century international education emerged as an almost ubiquitous concept within discussions of educational curriculum&#x3b; the objectives of schools, universities, and colleges&#x3b; and government policies for K-12 and higher education. Although far from a new phenomenon, many jurisdictions now view international education as a highly competitive global industry. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of international education policy in Canada, tracing the complex history of when, how, and why it emerged as a policy area of strategic importance. Illuminating a uniquely Canadian perspective, influenced by regional interests and federal-provincial tensions, International Education as Public Policy in Canada addresses challenging questions: Why was Canada a latecomer in addressing this policy issue? What is the relationship between international education and Canadian immigration policy? How did international education develop as a major Canadian industry? The resulting essays from leading scholars contribute not only to the growing Canadian literature on international education policy but also to a critical, global conversation. Contemplating where the Canadian story of international education is headed, International Education as Public Policy in Canada calls for a broader debate on ethical practices in internationalization, focusing on inclusion, equity, compassion, and reciprocity.
