Our Wishy Washy Position On Deserters Is An Indication

John Ivison: Canada's blind spot on terrorism
Posted: November 25, 2009, 5:26 PM by NP Editor

What would happen if Osama bin Laden washed up on the coast of Vancouver Island in a rusting old hulk and claimed asylum? If it was left to our immigration system, he'd share the same fate as the one that probably awaits the 76 Sri Lankan Tamils who arrived in Canada last month aboard the Princess Easwary -- that is, he'd walk free, be set up in a hotel, told he was entitled to work and handed a welfare cheque.

As with the Tamils, bin Laden would initially be detained by the Canada Border Services Agency and then obliged to appear before an Immigration and Refugee Board review hearing to establish his identity.

As with the Tamils, the Minister of Public Safety would likely ask the IRB to detain him while it investigated whether there was "reasonable suspicion" of inadmissability on security grounds.

I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
