CULTURAL BLACKMAIL



Laibar Singh entered Canada illegally. He used false documents.




Canada is trying to send him back to India. Canada has the right and the obligation to do just that. End of story.




Canada has a very unattractive record when it comes to deporting people who break Canadian laws. Mr. Singh should go.




But Mr. Singh suffered a stroke since his illegal arrival in Canada and he is now a quadriplegic.




He is also a Sikh.




Yesterday, 2000 protesters prevented the Canadian Border Services agents from taking Mr. Singh from his taxi at YVR onto a waiting aircraft.




This isn't civil protest. It is cultural blackmail.




We won't vote for your government. We won't buy tickets on your airline. And we will riot in the streets and disrupt your daily affairs.




That would all be understandable if there were some important principle at stake here.




But the only "principle" is that Mr. Singh is one of us and therefore you are discriminating against us.




How false.




Mr. Singh is a criminal. he broke the law on day one.




The Sikh community should think more of itself and be proud to be law-respecting Canadians. They should deliver Mr. Singh to the plane themselves.

What a lesson Immigration Officials, and the Federal Police Force taught us all yesterday. Cowtow to bullies. Who is running the Show? Our Country, and it's Rule Of Law, or 1000 "Protesters?" The tail is wagging the dog. [once again] Shame on us.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I am tired of this BS.

Today I heard Harsha Walia speak about this incident. She appears to be their de facto spokesperson. I find her scary, someone with absolutely no respect for the rule of law. Undoubtedly many consider her to be a hero, a female Svend Robinson if you will.

I think this drama is directly a result of too liberal, too lax laws for too many years. Now people like Walia know that they can do anything they damn well please as long as they get a large group out to give the impression of righteousness.

It would be good to hear some Indian leaders speak out against such actions but I doubt it'll happen, at least not with any voracity.

Look, understand, these folks are the biggest lobby group in Canada. They have bought off the politicians and goodnes knows who else. Their Radio India foments anger and disrespect. Malik, one of the accused Air India terrorists, with a net worth of $10 million at the time of trial, conned the province into paying his legal fees of $6 million and has never repaid a cent. Why? Ask the Waffling Wally?
