One would hope. The Tamil Tiger supporters basically shut down a Toronto freeway 2 years ago demanding that this country do something to help their terrorist brethren in their homeland. Last year, boatloads of "refugees" start arriving on the BC coast from Sri Lanka that were turned away by Australia. How many of these people do you suppose speak English and have skills in demand to work in Canada? These people are going to live off of the government (that's mine and your money) for a long time. At least the conservatives are trying to match skilled immigrants with skill shortages and improve immigration overall. Some of the left loons on here would have you believe that Harper and the conservatives want to create a Canadian race of blue eyed blonde haired christian Aryans.

More to the point, some of the rightist loons on here (and more importantly the Conservatives) would have you believe that the opposition parties support human trafficking.

Well, at least you know who you are

Who is responsible for the laws allowing the Sri Lankan's in? Did they get a fee boat pass from the captain? Or perhaps they paid someone to smuggle them. In Quebec, many illegal immigrants arrive from Haiti and old French African colonies.

IIRC that was August last year? So, Jason Kenny was responsible.

Sh! Don't give him ideas.

They run a version of this commercial in BC as well. It really is gutter politics. However carefully they choose the words is it still designed to appeal to the base fears of a certain demographic.

It is factually incorrect as well. It portrays the opposition leaders as helping these people "jump the queue." There never has been and, I sincerely hope, never will be a queue for refugees at Canada's borders.

Could you back up your statement with proof? You don't have a clue what goes on here in Quebec.

And besides, isn't everyone coming here to get away from the immigrants anyway?
