One Canadian's Thoughts on AdScam DoubleZero, April 8, 2005

I just finished reading the book 'Hot Money' by R.T. Naylor. This highly informative and detailed book explains how tax revenues are systematically looted by government officials, their business cronies, and banks in Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, the United States, and Africa. Canada is barely mentioned in the book, but perhaps in the next edition, it should be. What I read on the Captain's Quarters blog was shocking. You expect this sort of thing from municipal politicians and corporate executives, but not from the federal government. [. . . . ]

Of COURSE it stopped with Chretien's staff.

Just like it stopped with Haldeman and Ehrlichman.

'Nasty secret' nothing new ad insiders: Pro-bono work done in exchange for contracts Siri Agrell, National Post, April 09, 2005

[. . . . ] "For decades, the largest advertising agencies in Canada, all based in Toronto, have been giving free services to political parties during an election. If they were lucky enough to support the party that formed the government, they were rewarded with the advertising contracts for large government accounts."

Mr. McKerracher said he spoke out about the practice as early as 1978, during his tenure as president of the institute.

"All that the Quebec agencies have done, in my opinion," he wrote, "is refine the system." [. . . . ]

Where did all the money go? Andrew Coyne, National Post, April 09, 2005

Thanks to Jean Brault, a great many things have become clearer. It is now clear, for example -- assuming his testimony is to be believed -- that we have been governed for more than a decade by a criminal organization. Or at any rate, by a political party that was willing to use criminal means to sustain itself in power.

Some other points of clarity: [. . . . ]

Can Canada Deport Anyone?

His fear of torture seems to take precedence over our security.

"In 1990, he arrived in Canada and was granted refugee status."

Alleged assassin aims to stay here -- Fighting Deportation: Sri Lankan was a hit man for Tamil Tigers, police say Stewart Bell,National Post, April 07, 2005

LINDSAY - Niranjan Claude Fabian does not dispute that he did bad things after coming to Canada as a refugee. He was a member of a violent Tamil gang called the VVT that shot up and terrorized Toronto neighbourhoods.

He was involved in the illicit Canadian passport trade and was convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice. And now he is confined to a prison northeast of Toronto while immigration authorities try to deport him to Sri Lanka.

[. . . . ] Fabian, 36, is one of dozens of Sri Lankans whom police and immigration authorities are trying to deport more than three years after they were arrested in a series of raids that aimed to crush the Tamil street gangs emerging in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Vancouver. His deportation is being held up by the same question clogging immigration courts across Canada: Can Ottawa deport those who fear torture? [. . . . ]

Port Security Vancouver

Shipping groups troubled by Ottawa's security proposals -- More bottlenecks seen Chris Sorensen, Financial Post, April 06, 2005

[. . . . ] As part of its effort to boost security at major entry points into the country, Transport Canada recently unveiled plans that would involve vetting of all port workers, including extensive criminal record checks of employees and possibly their family members. The proposed measures, similar to the ones used at Canadian airports for more than a decade, are part of a broader initiative aimed at making Canadian ports less vulnerable to terrorists.

[. . . . ] Tom Dufresne, president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union of Canada, had previously said his members would refuse to comply with the new measures -- even if it meant shutting down the Port of Vancouver, Canada's largest port.

[. . . . ] At present, each port is responsible for its own security. The Port of Vancouver, with a workforce of about 27,000, requires employees in certain designated areas to carry photo identification issued by the port authority.

Triple-pronged Jihad -- Military, Economic and Cultural April 5th, 2005

In a wide ranging interview with Islamic scholar Bat Ye'or comes a frank discussion of Eurabia: what it is, and what it means for Americans. Interview by Alyssa A. Lappen

In her new book, Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, Bat Ye'or takes a sweeping view of history,

Q. Right, but in the U.S. we also have the World Bank, the North American Free Trade Agreement which is going to be expanded to South America, and I presume that will have links to the EU and those things are not followed here, either.

A. We live in a global world, and international organizations develop. Americans should be aware of these developments and be diffident of the United Nations, which is an extremely corrupted organization, which works according to different standards. Here, it must be clearly stated that the Arab Muslim countries, 56 countries, and the Palestinian Authority, which will become a state soon, probably, operate according to Koranic justice, which is not what we consider justice. It is based on the superiority of Islam over non-Muslim countries, it justifies jihad and jihadists' values. Those whom we call terrorists, are called freedom fighters, because fighting against non-Muslims countries is a “just war”. This is why the Palestinians have a “just cause” and conduct a “just war.” The same in Darfur, in Sudan. As long as we have different values, it will be difficult to agree on what is just. For Muslim countries, Sharia rules take precedence over any other rules, especially over man-made rules. They consider Western rules inferior to their God given rules. For this reason, America is right to refuse to participate in the International Court of Justice, which is dominated by Islamic and European nations, both abiding to the Islamic principles of justice [. . . . ]

Global Warming Tax April 08, 2005, Steven Milloy, FoxNews.com

Duke Energy, a leading U.S. electricity and gas utility, announced this week its support for a global warming tax (search) — essentially a consumption tax on consumers of gasoline, oil, natural gas and coal. The tax is intended to reduce energy use and resulting emissions of greenhouse gases.

[. . . . ] But science is about data, not humility — and the scientific debate continues to rage over whether humans are adversely affecting global climate. Just a few weeks ago, for example, the Wall Street Journal reported that a key computer model relied on by global warming believers, is seriously flawed, predicting global warming no matter what data are entered into it.
