The Damage Has Been Done...

Enacting a worker-choice law would give a province a competitive advantage
By Niels Veldhuis and Amela Karabegovic 

Over the past two decades, Canadian politicians, bureaucrats and others have become increasingly aware of the importance of business investment to the overall health of our economy. Business investment in plants, machinery, and equipment drives economic growth, creates jobs and increases productivity. When workers have more capital (machines, equipment, and technology) at their disposal, they can produce more and/or higher-valued goods and services per hour and they can, therefore, demand higher wages.
To attract business investment many provinces have focused on implementing policies to improve their investment climates. These have included more prudent management of government finances (pre-recession, of course), lower personal and corporate income taxes, the elimination of corporate capital taxes, investments in infrastructure, and reductions in the burden of regulation.
Unfortunately, one policy area that has seen no significant reform is labour law.

Immigration Con Game

Chris Selley’s Full Pundit: Unlock and unload

  August 23, 2010 – 12:51 pm
 
The Tamil saga continues
The Sun Media editorialists back off their “lock and load” position with regards to incoming refugee boats, explaining they arrived at it “early in the game.” We’re not sure there’s any point in such a discussion where it’s OK to advocate sinking unarmed ships full of would-be asylum-seekers, but we’re quite sure that last Tuesday — four days after the MV Sun Sea arrived on the West Coast — isn’t all that “early in the game.” Anyhow, while they blow a “secret government report” completely out of proportion (it was an anecdotal sampling of 50 people, as CBC’s Kady O’Malley explains), and while they needlessly get all pissy about the National Post’s editorial on Saturday that called them out for the whole “lock and load” thing, they are quite correct that the common practice of asylum-seekers returning home for visits, or to live permanently, can be seen, at least in some cases, as totally self-torpedoing their own claims of persecution.

According To The Star MV Sun Sea Debacle Not About Illegal Immigration...

3 months on the MV Sun Sea: Tamils describe their journey

Migrants are escorted from the MV Sun Sea after it arrived in B.C. on Aug. 13. Most of the passengers were often seasick.

The days and nights on board the MV Sun Sea seemed endless, but for some of the women on the rickety cargo ship headed to Canada, there were hopeful signs their voyage had a destination in sight. 

...but rather the promotion of feminism which will lead to them seeing the Liberals are their saviors. I know this is a bit of a stretch but look back at the cycle of immigration, the party in power and the allegiance of those immigrants.

The Operative Word Is ILLEGAL And...

...and let's not lose sight of the fact that it is not the "immigrant" that benefit but rather the smugglers who in the case of the Tamils are said to have collected $20K/per  ($9M+) and those that employ and exploit the illegals.

Hepburn: Are Tamil migrants an issue or distraction?

National Post editorial board: How to send a message on refugees

  August 17, 2010 – 10:00 am
When the MV Sun Sea landed on the West Coast late last week with 490 refugees on board, it delivered a pressing reminder. Canada has to act quickly to ensure that our valid interest in protecting genuine refugees who face real persecution at home does not leave us open to boatload upon boatload of economic migrants who should be using normal immigration channels to try to enter the country.

Immigration supporters march across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. The demonstrators called for a full repeal of Arizona's controversial immigration law following a court ruling placing much of the law on hold.

Full Comment’s Araminta Wordsworth brings you a daily round-up of quality punditry from across the globe. Barack Obama is deporting more illegal immigrants than his predecessor George W. Bush — the number is expected to reach 400,000 this year.

You’d never know this from critics who paint him as being soft on this hot-button issue. But about 60% of Americans agree, according to recent polls, especially in Arizona. Lawmakers there crafted a draconian bill that would require foreigners to show ID if stopped by police.
In the absence of action from Washington it’s small wonder border states are trying to stem the tide. One in three of the 6.6 million people in Arizona is foreign-born and about 460,000 are illegal immigrants, mostly Mexican. Read More »

Democracy Obama style...

Memo outlines backdoor 'amnesty' plan

Immigration staffers cite tools available without reform

Associated Press
PROTEST PARADE: Immigrant rights advocates march across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York to demand full repeal of Arizona's new illegals law. The Obama administration is considering a backdoor approach to stop many deportations.Associated Press PROTEST PARADE: Immigrant rights advocates march across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York to demand full repeal of Arizona's new illegals law. The Obama administration is considering a backdoor approach to stop many deportations.

With Congress gridlocked on an immigration bill, the Obama administration is considering using a back door to stop deporting many illegal immigrants - what a draft government memo said could be "a non-legislative version of amnesty."
The memo, addressed to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas and written by four agency staffers, lists tools it says the administration has to "reduce the threat of removal" for many illegal immigrants who have run afoul of immigration authorities.
"In the absence of comprehensive immigration reform, USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations, exercising discretion with regard to parole-in-place, deferred action and the issuance of Notices to Appear," the staffers wrote in the memo, which was obtained by Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican.
The memo suggests that in-depth discussions have occurred on how to keep many illegal immigrants in the country, which would be at least a temporary alternative to the proposals Democrats in Congress have made to legalize illegal immigrants.
Chris Bentley, a USCIS spokesman, said drafting the memo doesn't mean the agency has embraced the policy and "nobody should mistake deliberation and exchange of ideas for final decisions."
"As a matter of good government, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will discuss just about every issue that comes within the purview of the immigration system," he said in an e-mail statement. "We continue to maintain that comprehensive bipartisan legislation, coupled with smart, effective enforcement, is the only solution to our nation's immigration challenges."
He said the Homeland Security Department "will not grant deferred action or humanitarian parole to the nation's entire illegal immigrant population."
The memo does talk about targeting specific groups of illegal immigrants.
Mr. Grassley said it confirms his fears that the administration is trying an end-run around Congress.
"This memo gives credence to our concerns that the administration will go to great lengths to circumvent Congress and unilaterally execute a backdoor amnesty plan," Mr. Grassley said.

The % Is Irrelevant It Was Wrong But...

...share the shame with the people in their home countries who captured and sold human beings and maybe we should also be addressing the current form of slavery where persons within various ethnic groups are exploiting their citizens to make a profit. 

''At the height of slavery, in 1860, less than 5% of whites in the South owned slaves'

OOOOOPSSSS!!!!!!
Democrat Jim Webb writes:
The eminent black historian John Hope Franklin wrote that "fully three-fourths of the white people in the South had neither slaves nor an immediate economic interest in the maintenance of slavery."
PLUS:
America SOOOOO wishes they'd picked their own damn cotton right now...
It must be noted that the majority of professional journalists — liberal or not — do not throw around irresponsible accusations. But for conservatives, this is just more confirmation that racism is often used to chill debate.

But it's likely more complicated. Many progressives probably sincerely believe that proponents of free market ideology, for instance, are inherently racist simply because their positions are (allegedly) damaging for minority communities. Surely, this is how someone rationalizes the disgusting act of character assassination.

Perhaps it's because institutional racism has been eradicated in this country that those on the left who see all things through the prism of class and race are forced to try and re-invent what it means to be a racist...

***
Which reminds me:
All Breitbart had to do to expose the racism/stupidity of the NAACP was keep blasting that "black holes are racist" Hallmark card thing over and over and over again, rather than relying upon an obviously edited, incomplete videotape of an admittedly dubious woman telling a not-that-big-a-deal story from 25 years ago.
This would have made the point without the fallout.
You're welcome.
