Terrorism, Security Certificates, Harkat & Sacha Trudeau

Harkat deportation battle heads to Supreme Court CP/CTV.ca

OTTAWA — Mohamed Harkat, an Ottawa man jailed for nearly three years on suspicion of terrorist ties, is headed for the Supreme Court of Canada in an effort to stave off deportation.

Lawyer Paul Copeland said Tuesday the high court will be his next stop after the Federal Court of Appeal took only 90 minutes to reject a constitutional challenge by his client. [. . . . ]

In addition to Harkat and Charkaoui, three other Muslim men have been targeted under the regime. They are Syrian-born Hassan Almrei, Algerian-born Mahmoud Jaballah and Egyptian-born Mohammad Mahjoub. [. . . . ]


Turf any who are even suspected of terrorist connections; those of us whose families have lived here for generations should not be put at risk for a Liberal diversity program largely held in place, even in the face of failure after failure of security and immigration/refugee control, simply because the Librano$ court the blocs of votes from immigrant communities.

Mentioned in the article is that Canadians will eventually be treated to a Sacha Trudeau film about Harkat's case. IMHO, there will be also endless reruns . . . in the service of ST's political ambitions; CBC will have to do a profile on Trudeau--with loving coverage of his Daddy--to inform us of Sacha's work as a documentary film maker, then clips about his views on security certificates, welcoming diversity, how Sacha Trudeau and other prominent Canadians went to bat to keep Harkat in Canada . . . . . . and on and on.


And now Trudeau's wife Sophie Gregoire has a new job in the media. Check for details.

Correction:

Sophie Gregoire is married to the brother of Sacha, Justin, who may be planning to run for the Liberals. Sacha's partner, not wife at this time, is Zoë Bedos; they have just had a child this year.

Maybe Sacha is political in another way. During the 2006 fall Liberal convention, he was in Cuba. One of the Trudeaus wrote a paean to Fidel in Macleans, as I recall. The link has been on Frost Hits the Rhubarb in the last few months, 2006 or 2007.

Dec. 5, 2006: Ring around the rosie ...

Caveat emptor: Please note that, even as I was putting this up, the first link developed some strange extra marks ... maybe normal, maybe Gremlins.

Based on the Liberal leadership fest, yesterday, Dec. 4, 06, I posted "CTV interrupts convention coverage to interview Alexandre Trudeau in Havana". Intrigued, I searched and found the following; you might be similarly intrigued. [....]

[Note: The taxpayers of Canada provided $125-Million to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation for research and there is information on the kind of research.

There are excerpts and several links to more information, as well.]

Sacha Trudeau is showing the same tendency to hero-worship socialist tyrants as his father, who was dazzled by Castro and Mao

An excerpt:

Usually when a newspaper prints nonsense, rival or competing newspapers ignore it, not deigning to react and possibly give the nonsense credence.

But a tribute to Cuba's Fidel Castro in last Sunday's Toronto Star by the late Pierre Trudeau's son Alexandre (also known as Sacha), was so extravagant, ignorant and nonsensical that it demands reaction.

I suspect the only reason the Star published Alexandre's homage to Castro on his 80th birthday was because he is Trudeau's son. Even Star editors must have retched when they processed his copy, lavish and uncritical in its reverence of the aging tyrant. ........
