Algerian, Moroccan stowaways arrested in Canada
26/04/2009
Authorities in the Canadian port of Halifax found five Moroccan and two Algerian illegal immigrants hiding on a Swedish cargo ship arriving from Antwerp, Belgium, Echorouk reported on Saturday (April 25th). The stowaways, all young men in their twenties, were taken into custody on Thursday night. Border officials are conducting interviews to determine whether to deport them or allow them to begin a refugee claim process, Canadian press reported.
Thanks to Oorang for pointing to this link at The Threat Matrix on FreeRepublic.com.
I’m sure they were “just looking for a better life.”

SNIPPET: “Seven North African stowaways were taken into custody at the Halifax dockyard late last week.
Staff on a container ship from Antwerp, Belgium, discovered two of the stowaways while they were crossing the Atlantic. A subsequent search led to the other five being found.
The ship arrived Thursday evening and the seven men, described as being in their 20s and 30s, are now being held in the Burnside Correctional Centre.”
SNIPPET: “One of the men has reportedly said he wants to make a refugee claim. The CBSA spent most of Friday questioning the men and is investigating whether they pose any threat to Canadians.”
You’re welcome Oorang.
Snow this morning and God is watering my new trees and shrubs now.
Snow? Yuck.
What kind of trees and shrubs did you plant?
Zone 4 Rosebushes and transplanted 2 suckered Poplar trees.
All the rest of the stuff should be coming by the end of the week.
Hopefully the snow/hail/rain will stop long enough to get it all planted.
