The solution to the Venezuelan migration crisis where more than four million people have fled in recent years appears simple: Oust leader Nicols Maduro.According to a poll of Venezuelans who have already left the nation, 65 percent said they would return if the international community helped broker new elections. And 79 percent said they would go home if Maduro, who has been in power since 2013, was replaced by an opponent.

If his polls continue to tank, he will have a great deal of time to contemplate them as a former prime minister at age 47. Perhaps he should ask himself if the identity politics he has long embraced are dividing Canadians and making it harder for the country to focus on issues that affect everyone.
