I'll say it again. The news travels slowly between the outside world and Walt's cabin in the woods. We've just learned of a survey which every Canadian reader of WWW ought to take. And you have only the rest of today -- AUGUST 31st -- to do it!
Since June -- we said the news travels slowly -- Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has had a "Public and Stakeholder Consultation" open on its website, asking for input from all you hosers on immigration levels for 2014 and beyond. Here's what they say they want to know.
We are seeking your feedback on immigration to Canada, specifically on the total number of new permanent residents Canada should welcome and how this overall total should be distributed among immigration categories. The consultation will explore a number of issues related to three main questions:
- What is the appropriate level of immigration for Canada, this year and beyond?
- What is the best ratio – or mix – between the number of economic immigrants, family class immigrants and the refugee/humanitarian class?
- Economic immigration is a key immigration goal for Canada’s long-term economic growth. What role can immigration play to support Canada’s economy?
When you read the questions, you'll see they ask only about how many and what kind of immigrants should be accepted. "None at all" is not an option! But there's a comments box at the end where you can say what you really think, just in case a real human being may be reading. (But don't be surprised if that's not the case.)
To be frank [I thought you were Len?! Ed.], I don't think anyone in the Harpoon government gives two shits (or even one) about what Canadians think. They're going to do the PC thing -- like admitting more Syrian and gay Russian "refugees" -- no matter what you tell them. But do the survey anyway. Give `em hell! It'll make you feel better!

Before you do it, reread "Think tank calls immigrants and refugees huge burden on Canadians", posted on WWW just two days ago.

Canada's porous border - further follow-up
The Toronto Star reports today that a 14-year-old Jamaican who entered Canada illegally two years has now got Children's Aid fighting tooth and nail (at your expense, fellow citizens) to keep him from being deported.
A federal court judge hearing the case seemed unclear on exactly how the boy got into Canada, but it seems safe to assume he didn't swim. In fact he flew with WestJet...on a one-way ticket! Apparently no-one asked to see a visa when he got on the plane or when he landed at Toronto's Pearson airport. He just calmly walked into our country where he has survived on the largesse of the Canadian taxpayer ever since.
Judge Robert Mainville said "Clearly measures need to be taken to avoid similar situations in the future. There is [there should be! ed.] no question of encouraging in any fashion or manner whatsoever the act of sending and abandoning foreign children in Canada."
The Ministry of Public Safety wants the boy deported so he can be reunited with his family. Judge Mainville got involved when the Toronto Children's Aid Society stepped in, saying the boy's safety would be at risk if he were sent back to St. Lucia. [Sic. The Star first says the boy is Jamaican, but later says "sent back to St. Lucia".]
I would have thought that Citizenship and Immigration Canada would be handling the case, rather than the Ministry of Public Safety, but perhaps there is concern that the unfortunate lad might get involved with gangs and drugs if he stays here. Or maybe he is already.
Walt thinks it would be great if the kid could be sent to Jamaica, to join his older brother, who was deported not long ago after living illegally in Toronto for some time. Of course they have gangs and drug problems in Jamaica too [There's a news flash for you! ed.] but Walt thinks it best that the Jamaicans kill each other on the streets of Kingston rather than the streets of Toronto.
And Walt joins Judge Mainville in recommending that CIC and the Canada Border Services Agency sharpen up. Close the bloody door!
