Ottawa rejects U.S. model on workers Illegal employees will have to apply legally American policy sends wrong signal: Solberg Mar. 29, 2006. 01:00 AM BRUCE CAMPION-SMITH OTTAWA BUREAU OTTAWA—The federal government has no plans to follow in the footsteps of the United States, which appears ready to give as many as 11 million illegal workers a chance at U.S. citizenship, Immigration Minister Monte Solberg says.

Please pray for my Jewish friend who is only in his early 50's and is dying of cancer. The doctor's have given him 3 - 8 weeks to live. He is Jewish, but has lived a secular life.

Haim, I hope you beat this cancer, but I am one of little faith these days. I wish I knew how to share my faith with you,...

Posted on Sun, Jan. 29, 2006 HARMFUL RESULTSIt's time to crack down on illegal immigrationBy Jim FoleyOn Dec. 13, my letter was published concerning my daughter's auto accident involving an illegal immigrant. I encouraged the news media and the public to speak out about this epidemic that is invading our area. I am not suggesting that all illegal immigrants are bad people, but they are illegal and must enter our country as our ancestors did, by legal channels. I thought I would see a large public response. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Do you need to have one that you love...

Deport the Khadr Family View Current Signatures - Sign the Petition -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Canadian Government The Canadian government has granted emergency passports to Maha Elsamnah Khadr and her 14-year-old son Karim. Members of this family have made statements in support of al-Qaeda. They should not have been allowed back into Canada, and I, as a Canadian citizen, do not feel safe knowing that we have fundamentalists living in our own backyard. My fear is that our government will set this woman up on welfare, as well as dole out free health care for her injured child. I don't want Canadian...

Death threats won't deter a Scarborough woman from trying to oust the al-Qaida-linked Khadr family from Canada. For the most part, Donna Campbell said her online petition calling for the Khadr family to be deported has been an overwhelming success. She was happy to hear The Toronto Sun was flooded yesterday with people trying to find her Web address -- www.petitiononline.com/khadr/petition.html -- and by yesterday afternoon 20 new signatures were logged each hour. By last night, the amount of traffic was crashing the site intermittently. But not everyone has been supportive. Campbell, who started the petition on the weekend, received...

The Wild Rose Alliance MP and his wife can't help but think of their 29-year-old son Dennis, who's a U.S. combat soldier somewhere deep in Iraq. "When they say that, they're accusing the soldiers," he said Saturday. "They should know that there's a young Canadian who's part of that force, and...
