Canucks ask US Homeland Security to help turn back border jumpers

Canada's state broadcaster, the CBC, released a funny story yesterday, in the middle of a sleepy afternoon when no-one was paying attention. Regular readers of WWW may recall that the Canuck government has been affecting all summer long to be unconcerned about the 1000s of "refugees", asylum-seekers and other would-be immigrants who are crossing the world's longest undefended border to get into Canada's much-too-generous welfare programmes.

Most of the dark-complected illegal migrants being welcomed by the Mounties at an "unofficial" border crossing near Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle QC are Haïtians and Africans. How did they get to that hole in the fence? Why, they came through the USA! Many of them, in fact, had lived in the Land of the Free for years before heading for the Land of the Free Lunch, in response to Justin "Junior" Trudeau's open invitation broadcast to a waiting world in response to President Trump's hint that the parasites had worn out their welcome in the USA.

As the number of illegals crossing from the USA into Canada keeps growing and growing, M Trudeau's Liberal government, facing a rising anti-immigrant backlash, keeps trotting out cabinet ministers and MPs to assure the angry Canadian public that Action is Being Taken and Everything is Under Control. But it's not Junior Himself who has to face the wrath of the people, nor is it Ahmed Hussen, the Somali-born Minister of Immigration and Refugees (sic). Noooo. It's usually poor old Ralph Goodale, the mild-mannered veteran who has the misfortune to be Minister of Public Secure and Civil Protection, which I guess means that the illegals are indeed a threat to the Canadian public, although of course Mr Goodale can't say that because of M-103. (Canucks will know what I mean.)

Poor old Ralph was again pushed into the spotlight -- like a deer transfixed in the headlights of an oncoming car -- on Sunday when he was interviewed by CBC News. He revealed that he had been having discussions with his American counterpart, Elaine Duke, the Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, with a view to... errr... getting her to do something, anything, on the US side of the border to help stem the tide of illegal migrants.

Mr Goodale said he asked Ms Duke to consider alerting Canadian authorities when the US is about to make policy decisions that would affect the border, in order to give agencies such as border services time to prepare. He also warned her to keep a "wary eye" on the travel visas it issues to the United States. He explained that Canadian officials have identified trends where documents issued from "certain US embassies and consulates" are being misused. "We have asked them to go back upstream and examine the pattern of these travel documents being issued," he said, "and how come the people to whom they were issued appear to have had no intention of staying in the United States, but were simply using the documents as vehicles to get into the United States and then make a beeline for the Canadian border."

Not wanting to appear racist or Islamophobic, Mr Goodale declined to identify diplomatic missions that have been problematic, but CBC News is reporting today that one place where a lot of people seem to be getting visas to visit the USA with the intention of heading to Canada is... wait for it... Nigeria.

Mr Goodale and Ms Duke have apparently discussed other "joint steps to take to address illegal migration across their shared border." For instance, the Canucks have suggested, the Americans could put up some signs on their side of the border "with messages to dissuade those seeking asylum in Canada." Yeah, that'll do it, for sure! Can't you just imagine a US Border Patrol officer yelling at a busload of Africans, "Don't make me point at the sign again!"? Said Mr Goodale, "They're examining what they can do to communicate."

So, dear Canadian readers, you mustn't worry. Action is Being Taken. Everything is Under Control. Diversity is Canada's Strength! Vote Liberal!

UPDATED: What really happened in Québec City

Poor Len Canayen, having very little to do until the start of hockey season, has been keeping a sharp eye on the situation in the Canadian province of Québec, which has been inundated this summer with 1000s of "refugees" and asylum-seekers -- mostly from Haïti -- who have been fleeing across the world's longest undefended border to escape Trumpian "persecution" and (really) get more generous welfare and other benefits. See "1000s of Haïtians invade Canada as Trudeau government dithers", WWW 17/8/17.

UPDATE: Speaking today at Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle QC, where about 98% of the invaders are crossing the US-Canada border while the Mounties stand by helplessly, Public Security Minister Ralph Goodale says he suspects that human smugglers [as opposed to robot smugglers? Ed.] may be the cause of the "spike". Nothing to do with Junior's putting out the welcome mat, then.

As you might expect (but won't be able to tell from reading the Canuck lamestream media) there has been a huge anti-immigrant backlash in la Belle Province, so much so that Prime Minister "Junior" Trudeau interrupted his march in yesterday's "Pride" parade in Montréal (in which he walked arm in arm with Ireland's new gay Indian prime minister) to denounce those who protest against the invasion and proclaim that Canada won't be defined by "a bunch of racists".

He was referring, no doubt, to La Meute (= The Pack, as in wolf pack), a group of Québécois which originated in a Facebook group and now has 43,000 members. They believe Québec is under the threat of Sharia law and radical, and are staunchly against immigration. Even as Hairboy spoke, La Meute was gathering in an underground garage in the centre of Québec City, in preparation for a march on the National Assembly (= legislature) for which they had a permit issued by the city government.

In anticipation of the protest march, several hundred loony left, antifa and "human rights" protesters assembled above ground, intent on "shutting down the racists". Here's a photo of some of the "counter-demonstrators". Note the hijabs, the masks and face coverings, and the red flags (including a Soviet Union flag worn as a mask). The flag with the depiction of an Indian (sorry for the un-PC word) is a symbol of the fight for "indigenous rights".

The alt-left counter-protesters had no permit. Their gathering was declared illegal by police when black-clad militants began jostling with authorities and threw projectiles at the police and members of La Meute. Maxime Fiset, who is paid by taxpayers for his "work" at the province's "anti-radicalization centre", admitted that their actions were violent. "I'm mad at such a display of violence," he told Radio-Canada, "because it was useless. It's a public relations victory for La Meute."

He looked on, ashen-faced, as members of La Meute emerged from their bunker and marched silently and peacefully down the street to the National Assembly... with a police escort. Here's a photo.

The leaders of La Meute were triumphant, claiming the group showed discipline when faced with provocation. Said Patrick Beaudry, one of the group's founders, "We made our point. I really believe this day will be the day La Meute gets out peacefully, just to the show the people what we really are."

Compare yesterday's march in Québec City with the events in Charlottesville VA. What began as a peaceful protest by the right was met with violence incited and initiated by the left. The protesters had a permit; the counter-protesters did not. Unlike in Charlottesville, in Québec City there was violence only by one side -- the alt-left side. (One of the leaders of the counter-protest was arrested and dragged away from the scene by police.) The difference in Québec City was that the police did what they are supposed to do, enforcing the law and protecting freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. Perhaps, just this once, Americans could learn something from Canadians.

VIDEO: Canuck ministers struggle to defend payout to Muslim terrorist

Further to Walt's earlier post about the shameful and cowardly apology handed out this week to Islamic terrorist Omar Khadr (along with a cheque of C$10.5 million!), here's Brian Lilley, from TheRebel Media, asking some pertinent questions. Watch Ralph Goodale and Judy Wilson-Reybould squirm trying to defend the indefensible.

Canuck Conservative leader condemns Khadr payoff

Turns out that even as Walt was writing yesterday's post, adding in the link to the petition against the outrageous payout to an Islamic terrorist who murdered one American and wounded another, the deal had already gone down! The payment of C$10.5 million (just over US$8 million) was made yesterday, but not announced officially until today. By now the money is doubtless offshore, where the lawyers for Sgt. Chris Speer can't get at it. [Maybe it's on its way to ISIS? Ed.]

The whole thing smells. It was a deal done in secret, for motives which the Liberal cabinet ministers are having a hard time defending. The chief reason, as the Honourable Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety, tells it was that it would have cost even more to keep fighting Mr Khadr's lawyers in the courts. Even then, neither Mr Goodale nor the Honourable Judy Wilson-Reybould (appointed because she's both a woman and an Indian... oops, First Nations Person) would confirm the amount of the hush money. "That's part of the settlement and it's confidential," said Ms Wilson-Reybould.

Mr Goodale and Ms Wilson-Reybould were shoved out from behind the curtain to face the press in the absence of the Right Honourable Justin "Junior" Trudeau, who is conveniently out of the country schmoozing with Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron at the G-20 talking shop in Hamburg, Germany. Ms Chrystia Freeland, the useless Minister of Foreign Affairs (or Global Affairs or whatever the latest PC name is), signed the official statement along with Mr Goodale, but was nowhere to be found when it came time to cast a few pearls before the Canadian taxpayers.

Also worth noting is the fact that the whole sordid story leaked out -- conveniently, again -- just after the Canuck Parliament rose for the summer recess, so MPs will have no opportunity to ask embarrassing questions (let alone hold any kind of debate) until the honourable members resume their "work" in the fall. But that didn't stop newly-minted Conservative leader Andrew Scheer from making a statement of his own. Click here to see what he had to say.

Further reading: Rex Murphy in today's National Post: "Trudeau skips the theme socks for his scheming Khadr apology". Key quote: "Three things mark the Khadr announcement. The government didn’t want to be associated with it. They wanted it done swiftly. And they didn’t want Trudeau on the same continent when the news broke."

Your Islamic terrorists today - latest attacks

Islamic terrorism is now everyday news. Really. Just scroll through the news headlines and I guarantee you, you'll find at least one "incident", somewhere in the world, every day. To be more than a below-the-fold news item, the attack must (a) occur in the USA, the UK or Canada or (b) have a double-digit number of victims.

Earlier this week, in what French Minister of the Interior Gérard Collomb called an "attempted attack" [sic] a car deliberately hit a police van before bursting into flames on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in central Paris. The driver, who was on a security watchlist, died in the incident. Police found a Kalashnikov rifle, handguns and gas bottles in the car. French police have refused to disclose the identity, ethnicity or religion of the attacker (although they know full well who he was), saying only that he was a resident of a Paris suburb. In some Paris suburbs, Muslim immigrants from North Africa make up a majority of the population. Importance to the lamestream media: none (nobody dead or injured other than the attacker).

On June 20th, a suspect was "neutralized" (= shot dead) at the central railway station in Brussels, Belgium, after a failed bombing that Belgian authorities called a terrorist attack. Inspector Hercules Poirot said a small explosion went off in the transportation hub around 2030 local time. Soldiers on patrol at the station shot the man dead as he ran toward them shouting, "Allahu Akbar!" Again, no-one other than the attacker was killed or injured. The Belgian Prosecutor's Office initially declined to identify him or say if he was known to authorities, but other sources said he was Oussama Zariouh, a Moroccan. Importance to the lamestream media: none (no victims + where's Belgium?)



Today, a huge suicide car bomb exploded outside a bank in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province, targeting Afghan troops and government employees waiting to collect their salaries ahead of a major Muslim holiday. At least 29 Muslims, mostly civilians, were killed by other Muslims, probably Taliban. Another 60 (and counting) were wounded. Importance to the lamestream media: medium (lots of casualties but no Westerners + no-one cares about Afghanistan)

Now we come to the big news...

Yesterday, around 0945 EDT, in Flint MI, a crazed attacker yelling... wait for it... "Allahu akbar!" attacked a policeman, Lieutenant Jeff Neville, stabbing him in the neck with a foot-long knife. Lt. Neville is in serious condition in hospital, but expected to recover. An FBI spokesthingy identified the perp as Amor Ftouhi, a resident of Montréal, Canada. Mr Ftouhi, who was subdued and taken into custody, crossed into the USA legally at Lake Champlain NY on June 16th. Why he went to Flint is unknown. The FBI guy told the press, "He made a statement something to the effect of, 'You have killed people in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and we are all going to die.'"

At a media scrum in Ottawa yesterday afternoon, Canadian Public Security Minister Ralph Goodale condemned the "heinous and cowardly attack" and said the RCMP are co-operating with the FBI, which is leading the investigation. Minister Wiggum had nothing to say about Mr Ftouhi's citizenship, ethnicity, religion or his status in Canada, but his FB page says he's originally from Tunisia.

Importance to lamestream media: medium (no-one killed but hey, a Merkan was attacked + possible to blame Canada's lax immigration and security "systems")
