Canadian hypocrisy

An unpopular truth

[Reprinted from Issues & Views September 24, 2001]

Here's an observation on the propaganda aftermath of the September 11 tragedy, from columnist Doug Collins in Canada, a country where open borders immigration policy is even more lenient than that of the United States:

Some of the hypocrisy was almost beyond belief. Our Prime Minister is against terrorism. But not so much that he has wanted to do anything about keeping terrorists out of Canada.

In the 1970s and '80s we became a world centre for Sikh terrorists. More recently, we have favored the Tamil Tigers, of whom there are now thousands here. Cabinet ministers even attend their dinners and MPs who question that are denounced as racists.

Are all Sikhs and Tamils terrorists? No, but in today's world terrorism goes with the territory, once you permit mass immigration from all over. Before we opened the gates, we never had such joys as drive-by shootings and large-scale immigrant crime.

The Vancouver Sun also causes me to throw up. For years it has blubbered over the sad fate of "refugees" and has not a word to say about the dangers of universal immigration. The day after the bombings however, it ran an editorial demanding that immigration laws be tightened and that we should "plug our porous borders". Welcome to the club. But you are a bit late.
