It was a blue moon Sunday evening and TV was very boring. I began surfing the TV channels and came across 60-Minutes. I watched the segment on Canada's immigration system and was impressed with the journalistic qualities of the story. 60-Minutes did nail the Canuck's and rightfully so. Good job. I guess cbs gets it right, once in a blue moon.

Another amony many reason's I left the Peoples Republic of Kanuckistan. Canada will accept anyone from anywhere and will put them up on welfare while their refugee claim is pending. Today, if you go to downtown Toronto, you will find very few Canadian born citizens. The majority of the people are immigrants.

Several years ago, there was an attempt by national referendum to amend the Canadain constitution. One of the provisions would have made political correctness the law of the land. In Ontario, it was a tie, but the geographic distribution was amazing. All of Ontario voted against it, except Toronto, which voted in favor of it. Very analagous to the Bush/Gore geographic vote distribution from the 2000 election.

My point is that Toronto dominates Canadian politics, but the rest of the province is more conservative and, from my own experience, can't stand the immigration policies.

I suppose the next logical step would be to run the same kind of story on the US immigration and refugee system to see if there is any material difference.

Except for scale, of course.

And, of course, there's Ahmed Ressam, the Algerian member of a Montreal al-Qaida cell. He spent six years in Canada, living off robberies plus welfare, free health care and other perqs provided refugee claimants. He was trained in Afghanistan and was finally caught in late 1999 by U.S. border guards while trying to cross into the U.S. with a carload of explosives on his way to blow up Los Angeles airport.

And if you've had a DUI in the US, the Canadians won't even let you across the border for a visit (without a whole bunch of red-tape b.s.)

And there's Nabil Al-Marabh,
who lived six years in Toronto as a refugee claimant
and is suspected as one of Osama bin Laden's
key operatives in North America.
He was arrested in Chicago after Sept. 11
and is still being held by the FBI.

Al-Marabh worked in a copy shop 1 block from where I live.

I frequently saw his friendly face when I went in to have work done.

There have been reports that trucks had been seen
loading boxes of documents, in front of this shop,
in the early hours of the morning.

I wonder what sized paper they were using?

Jeez, Clive, can't you find ANY upbeat stories???

If it isn't cannibal b*stards in Zimbabwe heating up water in The Big Pot, it's Liberal b*stards in Toronto preparing to put all of us Canucks in a cannibal stew.

Please, Lord, don't let Toronto win the Stanley Cup.

I don't know if I could bear that! ;^)

White people, especially White Canadians, need to start making babies.

The excuse for importing people in Canada is that white people are not reproducing.

Having 1.5 children is not even the replacement rate.

In Canada one can be jailed for politically incorrect speech.A clever way to prevent Anglos from being too critical of immigration policy,and Arab terrorist organizations.In Montreal,there is a language police. they are like traffic cops who give tickets for parking infractions,except it's for putting signs in English.
