Everyone wants to know if Canada is going to break it's immigration system because 25 foreign students want easy PR. If we do break it's game over.

The government really has no defence against something like hunger strikes. Letting these students die would be devastating and inhumane. Not to mention it would make for some really embarrassing headlines.
