It’s about time to read the riot act to all terrorist sympathizers.
Defund and deport all who are not citizens and put those who are and support terrorists on a full watch.
Our troops are not over in Afghanistan playing games, they’re fighting against the same creeps these organizations here are sympathizing with and at our expense.
How close to treason is supporting terrorists while we have troops fighting them?
Charge ahead Mr Kenney, we deserve no less.
O’/T Kate: over at national
Newswatch they have a link to a fox news story about a UN water commissioner protesting a UN water conference. The commissioner’s name: Maude Barlow.
I wonder how many good men and women who would make excellent politicians and bring the country forward are discouraged from this activity by the fear of violence?
We know that loss of privacy, and the personal abuse that good people receive in exchange for public service, are major factors in keeping our best and brights away from leadership of the country.
But actual physical violence, the threat of being beaten or killed, that’s a whole new level that Western democracy has not had to deal with on a significant basis. But it’s the norm for some parts of the world, and it’s not rare in some of our ethnic communities though it has been kept internal until now.
Just another great tradition to import into Canada, along with Shawarma, beef patties, and running gunbattles in our major cities by drug gangs.
Why does the Canadian government fund any “settlement agency” when the taxpayer already over-pays for the departments of “Welfare”, “Immigration”, “Human Services” and “Refugee”. All these jurisdictions are populated by over-valued public service employees that can not be terminated. Make these union members do the work for which the public always assumed they were being paid for. Enough with the taxpayer funding groups or “politicos” that are not citizens and/or taxpayers.
By the way, not really off topic, because it’s an example of the same type of loss of civil discourse.
England: “A Christian minister who has had heated arguments with Muslims on his TV Gospel show has been brutally attacked by three men who ripped off his cross and warned: ‘If you go back to the studio, we’ll break your legs.’”
http://tinyurl.com/b6b833
Jason and Stephen and all the other politicians could have used a lesson from Saddam Hussein about how to deal with your Muslims enemies … you make them disappear in the middle of the night and they are never heard from again.
Anything else will be see as weakness. I shit-choo not.
We are are nothing but a turkey shoot for these monsters. Look at England and tell me that appeasement works!
From the article:
“I think all settlement agencies should be very concerned with this issue.”
Mr. Kenney, who was accompanied to and from the interview by two RCMP bodyguards, said the Mounties had made a “threat assessment” and determined he needs full-time personal security.
What exactly is a settlement agency, and if cutting off their funding results in unacceptable “threat assessment(s)” then wtf are they getting money for in the 1st place.
How bloody stupid are we to be giving money to people like this? Don’t answer, I know it already !!
It’s no good for Arabs/Muslims to merely dismiss Mouammar’s hateful comments as “unfortunate”. It’s very telling that they don’t want to change the leadership and politics of the Canadian Arab Federation and choose instead to attack the Minister for saying that no taxpayer funding shall be rendered for hatemongering organizations and/or organizations led by hatemongerers hellbent on hateful, divisive political ideology and its promotion.
Next thing you know, we’ll be seeing “white” immigration organizations behaving exactly the same as the CAF and similar Arab-Muslim organizations. Wonder if we should be giving money to such “white” organizations, too? Do we want to give money to white supremacists, too? Neo-Nazis? Oh, wait… you know, the CAF sounds just like a Neo-Nazi organization, the way it carries on about Israel (which really means “Jews”… we must read between the lines of those who demonstrate unhinged, unmitigated, irrational, unwarranted red-hot-eyed hatred of Israel and realize that they’re really haters of Jews, period… Israel is just a convenient cover for this Judeophobia)…
We can’t have any minority group determining the direction and operations of our nation. Only democracy can determine its direction and operations. If we let one minority group tell us who can and can’t get funds, and under what circumstances, then all the minority groups will be fighting one another for superiority and the “right” to determine that which shall and shall not be in the Canadian Nation, which is democratic and equitable for all, regardless of “group membership”.
The CAF is wrong and is continuing to pigeonhole itself as a hate group. They must reform, radically, from the top down and bottom up to eradicate any existing or emergent hints of hatred and/or supremacism if they’re to be considered acceptable to Canadians according to Canadian values.
Anyone coming to Canada from anywhere, be it America, Western Europe, South America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, Iceland, wherever, regardless of race, religion, whatever… if they don’t accept Canadian values and want to militate against them, they will not be welcome. Only tolerant people are acceptable to tolerant Canadians, as Canadians don’t want their nation to be hijacked by anyone or any group or organization that wants to promote intolerance, division, hatred, supremacy, etc… So those who are intolerant and who reject Canadian values… can go home. Period.
And we don’t want to hear any political gobbleddygook being hurled against any nation in the world by such an organization as the CAF. It must refrain from the political/ideological B.S. and focus on its mandate, which is supposedly bringing Arabs to Canada and assisting them with adapting and integrating into Canadian society and life. And it MUST teach them Canadian values such as tolerance, equality, etc.
Trudeau’s ‘more pavillions’ was just camoflage. Intentional camo.
Mr. Kenney said taxpayers should not be footing the bill for an organization whose leader “promotes hateful and extremist views.”
Mr. Kenney is almost there – taxpayers should not be footing the bill for any of these organizations, no matter what they do or don’t promote. They should raise their own funds or fold. I don’t care which.
Another thing. These funds are for “settlement assistance”. If settlement in Canada – by any measure, one of the best countries on the planet – is so hard they need assistance, why even come in the first place?
“beef patties”?
“beef patties”?
Yummy
Dammit, stop using these enthnic organizations to deliver government funds. If we must make these pay-outs, then do it directly so the recipients know that their benefactors are the people of Canada and not a gaggle of self-inflated ethnic pooh-bahs.
Letting ethnic leaders do this job allows them to pose as benefactors and people of influence among their constituents and makes them more important in the eyes of those constituents than the country from whence the money flows in the first place. And then, perversely, some of these leaders use their exalted postions to peddle poisonous views of Canda and its government.
Enough! This is not how you nation-build. It is time to stop being suckers.
‘settlement agencies’ my arse….these activities are simply self created jobs for the bright boys that see how easy it is to gull poor guilt stricken whitey….after you deduct the salaries the leaders of these organizations pay themselves you know there ain’t squat left for any immigrunts.
it’s just another riff on the ‘unworkable solutions for imaginary problems…’
so how the hell did previous generations of immigrunts adjust then?…..and knowing how generous and kind Canadians are any soi-diant ‘marginalization is self inflicted as we all know…
just more lllieberal created horseshit it’s going to take decades to scrap….
i tell ya..i’m cat barbecuing mad !
It’s about time Stephen Harper and his conservative government find their political gonads and explain to all the special interest groups that borrowed money is now scare and has come to an end.
Period.
Lately we can’t find any difference between Conservaties,the crooked bastard Liberals or Greenies or even the communist New Democrats, the way our taxed dollars are doled out to whining special interest trough suckers.
Find you balls Harper, or are you no longer a conservative government?
Just wondering.
So Canada has it’s own Geert Wilders now? How on again off again is his Mountie protection?
Giving money to self appointed representatives of Muslim councils (that seem to fall out of the sky like rain drops these days) is putting the fox in the hen house. Suppose a Hindu immigrant gets anything like a fair shake from them? Only new Mohammedans get help.
Have the printed any maps of Toronto’s “no-go” areas are yet?
Off topic.
Poll on CBC needs your help:
http://www.thestar.com/
Midway down, left side of the page.
In your opinion, the CBC receives:
Too much public funding
Not enough public funding
The right amount of public funding
Don’t know
I’m with Kathryn (and the man with no capitals). I want NO government funding for hate OR love-mongers. No “values” advocacy whatsoever. After all the “value” that everyone must have a house is the very root of this financial disaster.
Here’s a great piece about the UK’s truly lunatic approach to “outreach”, the notion that funding extremism might be a good antidote against “violent extremist”.
Melanie Phillips: Persistently Validating Extremism
The only outreach I favour is one with a fist at the end. Brasss knuckles under velvet gloves I’m OK with.
Lori – I think you are partially correct but in my opinion I doubt if that ever kept truly good or committed men or women from doing what they felt they had to do. I know my own reluctance would be at the lack of backing from our political and legal systems, not threats.
I say Kathryn is spot on. End all government funding for all special interest groups and NGOs. If they have to depend on funding from their “supporters” to survive, the majority will fold since they never have the support they claim to have.
Lori
too much public funding 477 46%
Not enough public funding 297 28%
The right amount of public funding 150 14%
Don’t know 108 10%
Looks just fine to me……..
Well, I just figured “80% too much public funding” would have been more convincing…. even to the leftoids who go to that site.
Lest we forget this latest incident is a direct result of the Liberals “Just Society”. “Trudopia” in Canada was the beginning of politican pandering to immigrant minorities and when a government ‘panders’ it does not govern! Let us HOPE that this latest incident is the beginning of CHANGE in Canada and that we may return to a Canada that we were once so proud of!
If an individual promotes/utters hate speech he is subject to prosecution by the HRC.
If an organization does it then it is unfortunate?
More ghettos at Folklorama
Stop the funding
Well done Mr Kenney
But remember, everyone: A-rabs are NOT violent retards, and don’t you forget it, or else:
http://www.steynonline.com/content/view/1800/128/
“Mr. Kenney said taxpayers should not be footing the bill for an organization whose leader “promotes hateful and extremist views.”
I guess that means the CHRC will no longer be funded as they just published hate speech and employ people who belong to and contribute to racist-hate filled organizations.
Lori at March 15, 2009 1:02 PM
Thank you Lori. My vote cast.
Another poll gone horribly wrong!
Whats truly unfortunate is that Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is not much different then any of Trudeau’s or Chretien’s or Paul Martin’s Immigration ministers.
That’s the problem.
Canadian Arab Federation executive director Mohamed Boudjenane said he “‘was amazed by Mr. Kenney’s statements … [and] it was time to move on and agree to disagree on foreign policy,’ but Mr. Kenney was ‘pouring oil on a fire.’ … ‘That means a minister of a Crown … depending on the people he likes or dislikes, will grant taxpayer money for services?'”
It’s obvious that Mr. Mohamed Boudjenane (Boud-inane?) thinks he’s still back in his homeland. Why should this guy “be amazed” at Jason Kenney’s statements, which simply clarify Canadian laws and values? If Mohamed thinks he can impose terrorist values on our country and expect a Minister of the Crown to stay silent, he’s got another think coming.
As for the ridiculous statement about Mr. Kenney’s granting tax monies according to whom “he likes or dislikes,” again, we’re not in Kansas/Muslimland anymore, Mr. Boudjenane.
I’m with Mr. Kenney all the way, and wish the Canadian government had come down hard on these terrorist-supporting Muslim organizations a lot sooner.
It’s about time. Well-done, Mr. Kenney!
Afterthought: Many will have the reasonable impression that Kenney did this out of personal animus due to the insult.
The real insult is that ANY of the hard-earned income of taxpayers is being used to fund special interest groups [read: run vote bribery rackets].
So on balance, I’m only mildly impressed with Kenney’s action.
Canada’s desperate wish to mimic the Islamic invasion of Europe continues……
Thankfully leaders such as Mr. Kenney have the foresight to ring the tower bell and face the threat head-on.
Our own Geert Wielders, it’s heartening to hear that there are still a few unneutered men in Canadian politics.
Well Mr g,keep watching, I think you’ll see a big change coming from Mr Kenney. He’s given the warning, action should come next. We are free to let him know we expect no less as well. He needs to hear from us.
I am not confident that Mr. Kenney gets it.
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2009/02/10/8335676-sun.html
“Testifying before parliament’s immigration committee, Kenney said Canada will increase the number of sponsored refugees it accepts from its mission in Damascus by at least 1,300 people. That means the Damascus mission will accept 2,500 refugees under its private sponsorship program and 1,400 through the Government Assisted Refugee program.
Kenney said that’s four times as many Iraqi refugees than in 2005.”
Wrong Mr. g.
Why do you think Mr. Kenney even has to deal with this?
The CPC has a different MO, and the gangs aren’t happy.
It would have been a photo-op, and a pat on the back from one of Martin’s or Chretien’s cronies, along with the gloating about how open-minded and tolerant the Lib governmentis:
“We aren’t racist…see we shake their hands!!” was their song and dance, and they dished out the money to keep everybody happy.
Who knows…perhaps they were threatened and caved?
Just wanted to add…it looks like Kenney isn’t caving…good for him.
So why are we (the taxpayer) giving money to the Canadian Arab Federation in the first place?
I think the Canadian Association of Texas Canucks in Halifax (CATCH, eh) should also be eligible for funding.
Texas Canuck
CATCH CEO, CFO and Founder.
p.s. I’m also going to try for an Obama stimulus package too.
The very fact Jason Kenney has made public he has had to beef up his personal security is very telling in itself. That’s a sign we have some extreme threats in our midst when our government Ministers have to have extra security. It’s also a sign we have to start cleaning house in this once safe democracy.
Used to think threats to government Leaders/Members only happened in unstable states. Very concerning.
JMD – excellent comment!

Does Mr. Kenney really “get it”. More reason to doubt.
“While other countries are talking about taking fewer immigrants, today, I am pleased to announce that in 2008, we increased the number of new permanent residents to Canada,” said Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney.
On 20 February 2009 Citizenship and Immigration Canada announced a record number of permanent and temporary residents in 2008.
“While other countries are talking about taking fewer immigrants, today, I am pleased to announce that in 2008, we increased the number of new permanent residents to Canada,” said Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney.
“Our government will not follow the advice of those who believe that Canada should take steps to reduce immigration levels. In fact, we are maintaining our planned immigration levels for 2009,”
Mr. Kenney, who was accompanied to and from the interview by two RCMP bodyguards, said the Mounties had made a “threat assessment” and determined he needs full-time personal security.

Can you imagine the day Mr. Kenney is replaced with Islamists . Its obvious who’s being persecuted by nuts. A whole jar full.

Did Kinney say where the immigrants would be coming from? Any chance he would choose immigrants from countries where immigrants would share our values and would be the least likely to cause problems?
Liz J – Mr. Kenney certainly does not get to choose any immigrants. There is no reason to believe that the immigrants are coming from anywhere else than where they have come from in the past few years.
You can draw your own conclusions about “sharing our values” and “causing problems”.
As I see it, the immigrants who come through the regular pathways are probably the least problematic. At least they have some qualifications and prospects of getting jobs.
But the family unification program – that is the problem. It is a complete sham. It’s defrauded at every level (in Toronto $40,000 seems to be the going price to get you into the country). False marriages, false documents, and when they arrive they work off the debt in the underground economy. I suspect a large number of the refugee claimants are also very unlikely to succeed in assimilating.
But of course stats on that sort of thing are very scarce. Wonder why.

“liz asks… Did Kinney say where the immigrants would be coming from?”
you better hope it’s from a country with a strong work ethic… because
all the baby-boomers are starting to retire.
without immigration, or a huge rise in the birth rate… there
won’t be anybody funding health care or stuff like cpp.

Here’s an interesting story about a woman who was born in England but raised and treated like she was born in Pakistan. England embraced culture diversity and it’s enslaved Muslim women, their policies like Canadas’ negate equality for Muslim Women. Let’s hope we don’t become a socialist hell hole like England.

Please no more money to NGOs. Taxpayers are having a bad time as it is. We don’t need to build the country’s debt any more than it is.

Kate, I’m really sorry, I know this is a serious matter, but, I can’t get this thought out of my head.
If Mr. Kenny and his RCMP handlers meet up with a group of Hamas supporters who shout the usual slogans at him, and he responds verbally, will his RCMP handlers threaten to arrest him unless he shuts up?
