Guess what guys, Harper's PR Team has replied to me. I feel great about this. Let's get all of you to write sorrow-filled letters and be constructive rather than crying out here.
I would like to acknowledge receipt of your e-mail to the Prime Minister.
Please be assured that your comments have been carefully reviewed. I have forwarded your e-mail to the Honourable Chris Alexander, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, and the Honourable Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board, so that they may be made aware of your concerns. .
Thank you for writing to the Prime Minister.

Mr. Harper Sir, It is great that a regular citizen can voice their opinions and suggestions directly to you, I am sure you may not be receiving this message directly but it is most likely handled by your PR team. Anyhow, I would like to begin my story in hopes that you may understand and take some sort of action. I, unlike many other Canadians have married a lovable wife abroad in my country of origin. This is a great way to maintain family ties and a sense of culture to my roots. I face a great pressure in life and that is of unifying with my spouse who is living abroad. Now, it`s a great thing that as a Canadian I have this freedom and can exercise this right to unite with my other half but the wait times are just very frustrating. This is beginning to affect my temperament , my outlook on life and my decision-making abilities everywhere (work/personal/family). I would like to sincerely appeal to you to resolve the on-going strike with best action and intentions as Canadians like myself at home are suffering, especially spousal applicants who just want to be with their spouse and children. Because of this strike, visas are not being issued and applications are being held in queue for I don`t know till when. Mr. Harper, I trust this is an appeal in good faith and you may be motivated by the situations of many other Canadians like myself who are hoping and praying that this strike may be over with swift grace and that we can finally move on with our lives by uniting with loved ones. We are all tired of being in limbo, we need this strike be over.
Sincerely, **** ***
