Van Hauves Return to Family Farm
Josh Pringle
Saturday, January 28, 2006 12:16 AM
A Navan family has come out of hiding and returned to their family farm.
The Van Hauve family is facing deportation to Belgium.
Immigration Officials ordered the family deported earlier this month after learning Michel Van Hauve had a 26-year-old shoplifting charge in his native country.
Michel’s wife Suzy Myers says she doesn’t want Immigration officials to come to her home. Myers tells A-Channel News she wants officials to be fair and she wants justice.
The Van Hauves say they have received the paperwork from Belgium that proves he is fit to stay in Canada.
The Ontario Landowners Association has been protecting the family for the last two weeks.
Immigration officials have given the Van Hauves a 60-day extension to complete visa applications and produce required documentation. >>>

The Myth of Urban/Rural Dichotomy.
Interesting take on this issue in the National Post today. It reads, in part,
“In fact, in the countries’ 15 largest cities — including the big three metropolises — the Conservative vote was only a little less than three points behind the Liberals’. Greater Toronto is the most hostile area in the country to the Conservatives, yet even there they earned more than 420,000 votes. They may not have won any seats, but it is hardly true that they have no appreciable support.”
This would be cool if it happened:

Alow me to don my tinfoil hat for a moment.
Did anyone see Harper’s ”terse” statement that the US ambassador should butt out of his plans to strengthen sovereignty in the north?
To press went gaga over ”tensions” b/w Harper and Washington.
To me, however, this sounds like a very clever stitch-up b/w Ottawa and the White House. Let Harper and Bush get testy over the north and it innoculates Harper against accusations of being a White House toady.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to see Harper visit the WH every Sunday if he could — anything that ends our childish behaviour over the last decade is great. But part of me can’t help but wonder if the sovereignty ”dispute” is a very clever way to smoothe relations.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/27/AR2006012701508.html?referrer=email
Excerpts:
…
‘”The move for independence will grow if the Catalan statute is not approved,” said Pasqual Maragall, president of Catalonia, a region of about 7 million people centered around the cosmopolitan Mediterranean city of Barcelona…
The autonomy bid has transfixed Spain ever since the Catalonian parliament voted overwhelmingly to become a “nation” — but still remain a part of the country — last September, and then forwarded the proposal to the Spanish parliament in Madrid…
The proposal calls for Catalan to be the official and “preferential” language of Catalonia, alongside Castilian Spanish. It declares that Catalonia will be responsible for collecting all taxes levied in the region, have its own judiciary, and have the authority to change laws passed by the parliament in Madrid…’

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-aslan28jan28,0,6964410.story?coll=la-news-comment-opinions
Excerpts:
…
‘In 100 years, after the memory of 9/11 has receded and the war on terror is a somber chapter in our nation’s history, we may look back on Bin Laden not only as a murderous criminal but as one of the principal figures of an era that scholars are increasingly referring to as the Islamic reformation. Indeed, historians may one day place Bin Laden alongside 16th century Christian revolutionaries Thomas Muntzer, Hans Hut or even Martin Luther as a “reformation radical” who pushed the principle of religious individualism to terrifying limits…
…there are certain similarities between the Christian and Islamic reformations that should not be dismissed, not least because they reflect universal conflicts found in nearly every religious tradition. Chief among these is the question of who has the authority to define faith: the individual or the institution?..
…the authority of traditional clerical institutions over their Muslim communities has been eroding. After all, Muslims now have access through the Internet (an invention whose role in the Islamic reformation parallels that of the printing press in the Christian Reformation) to the religious opinions of myriad Islamic activists, academics, self-styled preachers, militants and cult leaders throughout the world who are, for better or worse, reshaping the faith.
Not surprisingly, as religious authority passes from traditional institutions to individuals, there may arise those whose reinterpretation of religion will be fueled by extreme social and political agendas. It is in this context that Bin Laden’s militantly individualistic, anti-institutional movement harks back to some of the most infamous aspects of the Christian Reformation. Martin Luther, for example, in pursuit of theological dominance over his fellow Protestants, justified their massacre during the German Peasants’ Revolt in 1525…
Like Luther, Bin Laden is concerned above all else with “purifying” his own religious community. Indeed, contrary to perception in the West, Bin Laden’s primary target is neither Christians nor Jews (both of whom he refers to as “the far enemy”), but rather those Muslims who do not share his puritanical view of Islam and who, as a consequence, make up the overwhelming majority of Al Qaeda’s victims.
Bin Laden has also deliberately placed himself in direct opposition to the institutional authorities of his religion by repeatedly issuing fatwas and making judgments on Islamic law � things that, according to Islamic tradition, only a cleric affiliated with one of Islam’s recognized schools of law has the authority to do…’

Landowners resist farmer�s deportation
By Tom VanDusen – AgriNews Staff Writer
Excerpt:
Officials left after conducting a search. Normally, when deportees don�t show up as scheduled, a Canada-wide warrant is issued for their arrest.
According to Hillier, Van Hauve got into trouble with Immigration because he worked as a labourer for Sarsfield area farmer Pierre Etter who famously dumped a dead cow on the front lawn of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell Liberal MP Don Boudria.
Reported to have been deeply offended by the act, Boudria retired effective with the current federal election campaign.
Etter readily admitted to the action as a protest against trying times facing area producers due to the BSE crisis. He was charged last spring with mischief and with failure to properly dispose of a dead animal carcass.
Area landowners rallied, raising more than $2,000 towards Etter�s defense. He eventually pleaded guilty and paid a small fine.
Van Hauve and family were served with a deportation order Dec. 29, with a 26-year-old conviction for shoplifting in Belgium cited as the main reason for not extending their stay.
“For eight years,” Hillier said, “the Van Hauve family visas were rubber-stamped and approved. In August, 2005, the visas were revoked. Michael Van Hauve started work as a farm labourer for Pierre Etter in July, 2005.” >>> more

I find it interesting the amount of spoiled ballots in Quebec.
Didn’t they have this same “issue” during the Neverendum? Fake spoiled ballots that came out of that mess was whoever decides the X or checkmark was not exactly in the voter’s circle was considered spoiled.
We had voting issues then, and wonder if it happened again? I remember posters saying it can’t happen because of signatures, initals, overseers and so on. I forgot to bring this up because hopefully it was a bad dream, but seeing the spoiled ballots again being high in Quebec…
One has to wonder at the quacking noise, is it a duck?
cheers

Its not at all suprising to me that left leaning ridings produce more spoiled ballets than right leaning ones. It is we on the left who are the most disatisfied and frustrated with the choices on offer.
I imagine a lot of people who divoted Liberal did so holding their noses not to endorse Martin but to check Harper.
Mark, one thing I think that article lacks is perspective.
Martin Luther didn’t kill any innocents or protest out of the religious circles or those in direct connection to Islam.
To do the same, Bin Hatem would have attacked the 2001 Space Odyssey black slab in Mecca or at the most made a statement on El Spazza TV.

Mark – re: Catalonia – the only problem is that the rest of Spain is up in arms about this and the Socialist govt is in a bit of a pickle over this – it owes Catalonia big-time for its election so it needs to push this through, but if it does, the other regions are going to really freak. This is what their army chief-of-staff was dismissed over early this month. Frankly, Quebec is quiet and non-demanding compared to this situation.
Islam’s “reformation” – many Islamic scholars think Islam has gone through its “reformation”, mostly in the late 18th and in the 19th C., and that the result is an instensification toward the more radical parts of the Koran and strict interpretation of sharia, epitomized by the formation of groups like the Islamic Brotherhood and the more “militant” practice of the faith in areas like Muslim Indian states (including, pre-partition, Pakistan). This pre-dates the spread of Wahhabiism with Gulf oil money. Unfortunately, “reformation” does not denote a concentration or change in a more “modern” or “benign” direction.

Progressive Thinking
Excerpt:
Whole categories of discourse are now being outlawed in the West. At least two celebrities are fighting this trend, probably because they lead active lives of the mind. One of them is Mr. Bean.
Blackadder star Rowan Atkinson has launched a comedians’ campaign against a government bill to outlaw inciting religious hatred. … Mr Atkinson told a meeting at the House of Commons on Monday night there are “quite a few sketches” he has performed which would come into conflict with the proposed law.
He added: “To criticise a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous but to criticise their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom. The freedom to criticise ideas, any ideas – even if they are sincerely held beliefs – is one of the fundamental freedoms of society.”
The other is Michael Crichton. At a speech entitled “Fear, Complexity, Environmental Management in the 21st Century” that he gave before Washington Center for Complexity and Public Policy, Crichton described one the major unrecognized dangers stalking the world: bad information. Crichton meticulously showed how grossly hysterical coverage of Chernobyl reactor incident, for example, caused deaths far more numerous than the incident itself. He went on to trace the history of public policy fads, Global Cooling, the predicted Y2K meltdown, the Population Bomb, Electromagnetic Fields and so on, and shows how we have nearly forgotten them in our rush to replace them with new ones. We live once again, in Carl Sagan’s phrase, in a demon-haunted world.
Commentary
It has been observed that Marxism was itself a religion. It had its martyrs, processions, ritual flagellations, paradises; and other things besides, though they went by other names: but chiefly it had its Inquisitions — the Great Purges, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution — which consumed millions. It is ironic that the single greatest imperative of its ideological heirs is the urge to persecution. At heart political correctness is the rejection of the scientific method. Truth is measured by conformity to the unholy writ. What is the essential difference between these two reactions to blasphemy? >>> more

Good lord, the Black Adder speaks out. Actually, he does have a point. It is one thing to speak and spread hatred and violence about a religion but to poke fun is the oldest form of humour, al be it crude.

Backhoe,
I agree. While disputes over territory are all part of the Great Game, I sense this one has Harper and the White House exchanging a couple of sly winks.
If true, it suggests our two countries are about to return to a mature and constructive relationship. One hopes anyway.
There’s more to this than meets the eye. What it is, I don’t know. I am far too dense to absorb the entire play so quickly. But, it has deep roots. Remember, this deal goes back to the 70’s when Soviet missile subs used to routinely patrol Canadian Arctic waters. Trudeau’s Soviet sycophants would shrug, and the Canadian intelligentsia would proclaim American protestations as so much saber rattling connected to the idea that the Yanks just wanted to use the Northwest Passage to move Alaskan oil to market. Remember the “Manhattan”? The Manhattan was a deliberate CIA maneouver meant to stir some nationalism and shame the Canadian government into dealing with foreign incursions into our territorial waters. Bizarrely, the very people who were nonchalant at the thought of Soviet boomers with missiles aimed at Mississauga and Saaskatoon, were full of high dudgeon at a an empty American-American!-super tanker wandering around in the same area. I’m purely speculating, but I’d bet that Russian missile subs have been caught sneaking around up there again, and the Americans have pointed out to the PMSH, as they probably did PMPM, that fact, and that if we did not deal with it, they might be forced to sink one of those subs. Rash afterthought. Chinese sub? That makes the picture somewhat clearer. Oy vey! The mind boggles.
Thomas Walkom of the Star (good grief) gets most of the issues right: “Harper’s Arctic stand makes for grand politics”, Jan, 29:
http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1138404334055&call_pageid=968332188774&col=968350116467
Excerpts:
“…
The United States, as well as Japan and the European Union, insist that the ice-choked passage, which winds through the archipelago of the Canadian Arctic to link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, is an international waterway…
…Harper has promised to build three icebreakers and station them at a brand-new, year-round naval base in Iqaluit on Baffin Island.
He’s also promised to set up a system of underwater listening posts to detect foreign submarines and warships travelling through the Canadian Arctic…
If his underwater sensors detect a U.S. submarine skulking along the coast of Ellesmere Island, would he have the Canadian Forces drop depth charges?..
Unfortunately, for Canada, the U.S. has the better legal argument here. Other key maritime routes that pass through sovereign territory, such as Indonesia’s Strait of Sunda, are treated as international waterways. Why not the Northwest Passage?
Perhaps even more important, though, are the simmering issues of resource ownership in the Arctic, as Canada, Denmark, Russia and the U.S. vie with one another for the right to exploit undersea oil and gas deposits.
The hottest of these is a boundary dispute in the oil-rich Beaufort Sea of the Western Arctic that pits Canada against the U.S. Is Harper willing to go to the mat with George W. Bush over the Beaufort? Could he do so, even if he wished?
Still, it’s all grand politics. Canadians � even those who have never travelled north of Bloor St. � maintain a sentimental attachment to the Arctic. Nothing gets the blood stirring more than the idea of nefarious Yankees trampling all over this particular national icon…”
Comments: Icebreakers do not hunt subs. In any case Canada’s icebreakers are operated by the unarmed, civilian, Coast Guard. Do the Conservatives really plan to have the Navy operate a new type of ship with which it has no experience? Just imagine how long that will take.
U.S., British, French and Russian subs have been operating in our Arctic waters for decades. Why the sudden upset?
As Walkom points out, the issue of the Arctic waterways is not a Canada/U.S. issue; it is a Canada/rest the developed world issue.
And the issue (as Walkom does not clearly point out), contrary to any number of media headlines, is not “Arctic sovereignty”–which implies the whole shebang including land. No one, other than the Danes at Hans Island, is disputing Canada’s sovereignty over land in the Arctic. It’s the maritime passages and boundaries, stupid.

Maz2,
I’m all with Mr. Bean’s (and others) efforts in opposing the religon gag rule. The whole idea is idiotic and odious and I hope it doesn’t become law.
I don’t understand how you can put Mr. Crichton’s efforts in the same boat. Noone is proposing a law that would make criticing a certain scientific viewpoint illegal.
You do have scientists critiscing global warming’s detractors. Remember we went through a similar (but hardly identical) tussle in the 1970s. There were plenty of scientists that were adamant that there was no link between smoking and cancer.
A number of scientists working for the US government have gone public stating that they’ve been under pressure from administration officials to tone down or supress their findings and opinions on the global warming issue. If anything the political pressure to warp the scientific debate in North America is coming from the other direction.
Mark,
Catalonia is in a much different position than a region within Canada. If it seperates from Spain it will undoubtedly remain in the EU. So there’s no problem with borders, commerce, trade etc.
The borders in North America however are a lot less porous than those in Europe. Seperation is likely to be a much bigger headache.
And no offence to prospective seperatists here but the depth of regional feeling in Spain runs much deeper than it does here in Canada. Franco had some three hundred thousand spaniards executed after WW2. And the Catalans were among those to really get it in the neck.
Spain is far more divided than Canada. Its only within the past fifty years that most dictionaries listed “espanol” (spanish person) as a word. During my youth I had plenty of aunts and uncles who would rail at me if I referred to them as espanol. And my family comes from Spain’s equivalent of Ontario.
Jose, You didn’t state that in the 1970s the ‘tussel’ was over an expected Ice Age!! Silly Science is silly science!! Smoking and cancer are another ‘silly science’ issue – like McDonalds and fat – who gave the gument the RIGHT to tell you what to put in your mouth – ‘YOU pay the taxes, you call the tune’; unless you are too spineless to make your own decisions. Mr. Harper will give Canada a ‘presence’ in the Artic; something the Liberanos and Dippers don’t want – for some strange reason. Maybe the south fears the wealth of the North or maybe they are afraid of the intrepid people who live in the high artic, I do not know. I do know some Eskimo people and these people are not ‘push over’ types. They will never be ‘public pets’ as the Liberanos like to treat other Indian Nations’ people.
I think Canada SHOULD patrol their own territory, I don’t know why anyone would be against it.
Jose: The point of the current proposal is for Catalonia to remain within Spain–not separate–but with almost complete provincial autonomy.
