Canadian Patsies: Illegal Aliens - Refugee Crack Dealers, Founder-Marijuana Party Now a Liberal, Drug Trafficking Ring-Pearson International Airport

Catenacci --"drug trafficking ring" -- Daniele Cappa, former senior operations manager, at Pearson International Airport.

How very convenient for drug gangs to find privatized airports -- if they can just get the right people in position -- and drug gang criminality earns the big bucks to allow them to get into big business. With underfunding of security forces, business is surely booming.

Drug-runner in U.S. jail takes Ottawa to court -- Government refuses to allow resident to serve sentence in Canada Michael Friscolanti, Mar. 1, 05, National Post

TORONTO - An Ontario resident imprisoned in the United States for his role in a cross-border drug trafficking ring is taking the federal government to court for refusing to let him serve the rest of his sentence in Canada.

[. . . . ] Although he has lived in the Toronto area as a permanent resident since he was two years old, the Italian national is not a Canadian citizen, so the government says it is under no obligation to help bring him back.

[. . . . ] Among his accomplices indicted in the drug ring was Daniele Cappa, Catenacci's brother-in-law and a former senior operations manager at Pearson International Airport.

Authorities discovered that Cappa was using his high-level security clearance to transport drug money through customs and other checkpoints - in one instance giving Catenacci US$180,000 to fly to Miami. The cash was later used to buy cocaine. [. . . . ]

The Illegal Aliens - Refugee Crack Dealers -- "two of whom have already been deported before"

Illegal aliens peddling crack again -- Vancouver police frustrated with refugee red tape Mar. 1, 05, Matthew Ramsey, CanWest

VANCOUVER - Most of the alleged illegal alien crack dealers snared in a Vancouver police sting last month are back on the streets and back at work, police say.

And, from a policing perspective, the inability to keep the drug-dealing migrants -- nine of whom are Honduran refugee claimants, two of whom have already been deported before and one of whom has a deportation order pending -- off the streets is maddening, says Insp. Val Harrison.

[. . . . ] She notes the time between claiming refugee status and the hearing is more than enough to make thousands dealing drugs and, in turn, the hassle of deportation to the United States worth it.

[. . . . ] To stop Honduran illegal migrant crack dealers from working in Canada, all that's needed is $100,000 and political will, says Richard Kruland, an immigration lawyer.

Mr. Kruland is calling for the federal government to spend $100,000 on a pilot project that would see repeat illegal migrants and those convicted of multiple criminal infractions in this country detained by Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) while their repeat refugee claims are processed. [. . . . ]

Why do they have to be "repeat illegal migrants"? Why should anyone be able to come into Canada illegally? Detain them all until checked out. Stop this whole dangerous business of allowing refugees out on the streets before we know anything about them.

The Toronto moderator of NewsTalk 1010 suggested yesterday that Canada not reward illegal aliens who take refuge in churches by giving permission to stay; in other words, stop rewarding those who do not follow the rules. I agree. In Canada, those who follow the rules and get in the immigration queue lose to those who don't.

Killing with kindness -- Tax deductions for low-income earners simply transfer resources. What's needed is incentives for work and entrepreneurship Jason Clemens and Niels Veldhuis, Financial Post, Mar. 1, 05

Jason Clemens is the director of fiscal studies, Niels Veldhuis is the senior research economist at the Vancouver-based Fraser Institute.

[. . . . ] Simply put, targeted tax cuts for low-income individuals transfer resources (income) from middle- and upper-income families to lower- income families without increasing the total income of the nation or province. [. . . . ]

What has been done doesn't seem to work; maybe their ideas have merit. Check for yourself.
