Singh in Sanctuary
The most tiresome tale of Laibar Singh and his famous deportation order is one of social, political and cultural blackmail.
Hiding an illegal immigrant in a house of worship to claim sanctuary and blocking the road and door are detestable acts.
A man leaves his 5 children in another country and lies his way into ours. When discovered, he is ordered by our soveriegn nation to return to his place of origin.
The fact that he caught a cold or had a heart attack is moot.
The Sikh community who are rallying behind this man might be better served if they rallied behind someone who honors both them and Canada.
Wrong horse, wrong time, wrong fight.

Do you remember the famous story, "Lord of the Flies"? It tells the tale of a group of pre-teen schoolboys who devolve into a group of pack animals in a relatively short period of time.
I'm VERY disturbed with what I'm seeing in my country recently. First, we have this entire fiasco with Laibar Singh. I've stated on my blog numerous times that Harsha Walia and her little gang are nothing but a group of thugs; well-educated, well spoken I grant you, but thugs nonetheless. Today we learned that they have been lying about Singh having a brain aneurysm. But the law is scared of her because she's a minority woman. Political correctness trumps law & order and she knows it.
I cannot help but have this dream: None other than Wally Oppal comes to the next airport thugfest and personally slaps the cuffs on Walia. Oh how brilliant that would be. Sadly, it'll never happen.
The other incident I'm appalled about is the absolute intolerance for free speech by so many in the Muslim community toward Mark Steyn, Maclean's magagazine, and now even Rex Murphy. Don't believe me? Read the comments posted here from bottom to top. The spinning and misquotes by most everyone with a Muslim name is shocking.
Neither of these situations have anything to do with brown skin vs. white skin, nor do they have anything to do with Muslim or Sikh vs. Christian or Jewish. What they're all about is Canadian values vs. non-Canadian values. And those of us who value our democracy, free speech, and the rule of law absolutely NEED to keep on speaking out against these very destructive forces.

I found the following blog while read about Laibar Singh.

Apparently Singh's fight is a human rights struggle.
This description from the blog, defining deportation, typifies the mind set.
"The physical prevention of a deportation/expulsion- one of the most violent forms of state-sanctioned repression and brutality in the world today- has been hailed as a significant victory and has served as a powerful inspiration to movements across North Amerika.
. . . The struggle to support Laibar is not for him alone nor is it simply one case, rather it symbolizes the struggles of the South Asian community to resist the unjust policies of deportation through defiance of the Canadian state."
I wonder who will win this fight. Playing the race card has proven to be very effective in the past --it certainly served OJ well.
