*Premier McGuinty Wants to Aid Jobless Foreigners, Rather Than Unemployed
Ontarians*

An apparently throw-away promise meant to wiggle his bum for a Third World
sector of Ontario's electorate seems to be springing up, enraging voters
and biting the Liberal Premier in the butt just as the campaigning for the
October 6 election heats up.

"Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak is taking aim at a Liberal
promise that would compensate employers for hiring new immigrants. With
just a day to go until the official election campaign begins, Hudak slammed
Premier Dalton McGuinty's new platform plank as an 'affirmative action
program for foreign workers.'

'Basically Dalton McGuinty wants to pay companies $10,000 to hire foreign
workers while we have half a million people in Ontario today who are looking
for jobs,' Hudak said Tuesday from a family home in east Toronto.
'I mean, unemployed Ontarians know where they stand with Dalton McGuinty:
he's going to pay companies $10,000 to hire anyone but you.'" *The Canadian
Press* Sep. 06, 2011)

Tory opposition leader Tim Hudak has hammered this issue all week.

Sadly the Tory leader isn't entirely innocent of promising subsidies to
companies hiring new immigrants: "However, the Tories have also promised to
provide a tax credit for employers who sponsor language training for
immigrants. ... 'I mean, ours caps at I think $400 a person that's already
employed that needs a little help with language training. I think that
Ontario families just believe in a level playing field.'"

Canadians have become used to politicians favouring the burgeoning new,
mostly Third World, immigrant hordes to them. It's as if the scalawag
political class cannot get rid of the Founding/Settler people fast enough.

An interesting question that should have occurred to Premier McGuinty and
Tory chief Tim Hudak is just why these immigrants need special job
preference or language training?

Several reasons:

1. They are poorly screened for job skills.
2. They are poorly screened for language skills. What immigrant who is
serious about getting a good job in Canada in these difficult economic times
would show up here unable to speak either English for French?
3. Federal Governments continue to flood Canada, and especially ground zero
target one, Ontario, with over 700,000 immigrants a year. What possible
justification can there be when Canada's official (the real rate is much
higher) unemployment level is 7.2 per cent and, as Mr. Hudak notes, Ontario
has over half a million people looking for work.

Permitting any immigration intake under these circumstances is utterly
immoral. If either of these leaders is serious about immigration and the
unemployed in Ontario, they'd be camping out on Immigration Minister Jason
Kenney're front lawn and they'd be demanding a five year moratorium on
immigration at least until Canada approaches full employment.

Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism -- No Friends
of Free Discussion
The Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism (NPCCA)
brought down its report, July 7, and, no surprise, this self-selected
committee of anti-anti-Semites predictably found surging anti-Semitism
across Canada and especially on university campuses where many
students are concerned about the plight of the Palestinians. They
complained that there is no coherent collection of statistics on
"anti-Semitism" even among hate squads across Canada."

"The 2010 Audit detailed 1,306 anti-Semitic incidents, representing a
3.3% increase over the 2009 data. This continues a general upward
trend. There has been a nearly 5-fold increase in the number of
anti-Semitic incidents recorded over the past decade. The incidence of
anti-Semitic incidents in 2010 was the highest on record in the
28-year history of the League’s Audit." Actually, it's a yearly
theme with this Audit, "anti-Semitic" incidents are always up.
However, when you get past the drama and dig a bit deeper, for
instance, of the 1135 anti-Semitic incidents reported in 2006, just
"1.2% were violent"; that works out to about 13 across this huge
Dominion. The vast majority involved graffiti" or the discovery of a
leaflet a complainant felt was critical of Jews. Nevertheless, to read
the NPCCA Report, you'd think the Blackshirts were back in town with a
synagogue burning on every other block.

The conclusions of this committee are laughable. They found what they
set out to find. They deliberately heard no contrary views. CAFE wrote
a lengthy submission in their call for papers and offered to be a
witness when they called witnesses. We were turned down. No surprise.
We stood for free speech and they didn't want to hear that. The
committee didn't hear from everyone who wanted to testify, selecting
74 witnesses from more than 150 applications. “Silva said some
groups that wanted to appear before the committee were comprised of
people who condemned the panel's work from the outset. 'I didn't
really want to give a platform to individuals who had no time for us
and so why should we have time for them?' said [Vice-Chairman and
defeated Liberal MP Mario] Silva." (CBC News, July 7, 2011)

While the committee members don't directly call for more
pro-censorship legislation, they certainly seem to approve what's
there now. " One of the most contentious issues presented to the
Inquiry Panel focused on the role of criminal and human rights codes
in dealing with hate speech in general and anti-Semitism in
particular. This matter forms part of a larger discussion on the
extent to which hateful speech can or should be criminalized. The
Inquiry Panel affirms that the Criminal Code can serve a useful
purpose in dealing with extreme manifestations of anti-Semitism.

Some written and oral submissions argued in favour of more aggressive
prosecution of incitement to hatred, especially when advocated on the
internet. For example, Allan Adel of B’nai Brith argued that
"Canadian legislation should be strengthened to increase effectiveness
in countering hate on the internet and to close potential loopholes
that could jeopardize successful prosecutions."

“The debate over whether to strengthen, roll back, or even abolish
Section 13 of the Human Rights Act and other aspects of Canada’s
hate isn’t primarily, a debate about anti-Semitism. Rather, it is an
aspect of the ongoing debate as to what degree, in the service of
reducing hate speech, it is desirable to restrict free speech, or the
extent to which it remains constitutionally permissible to do so under
the Charter of Rights. The Inquiry Panel notes that the
constitutionality of Section 13 will be decided by the FederalCourt of
Canada in Lemire v. Warman. Because of this fact, and because opinion
was so profoundly split in the testimony presented to us, the Inquiry
Panel declines to make any specific policy recommendations on this
issue."

We note that former Julian Fantino, wants even less control over
police laying "hate charge. " Julian Fantino, former Commissioner of
the Ontario Provincial Police, testified that police should be
‘liberated’ from the requirement of seeking prior approval to
prosecute a hate crime case" The Loser of Caledonia, who harassed
resident White dissidents, and refused to enforce court injunctions
ordering radical Indians off private property they occupied seems
particularly interested in political policing.

Lurking in the report, however, is a recommendation to bring in
legislation for further repression: "We recommend that the government
move quickly to ratify and/or enact the various international
instruments dealing with anti-Semitism (including international
commitments to combat anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, including
but not limited to, the Berlin Declaration on the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and similar UN resolutions)
and prepare constructive suggestions and resolutions befitting its
role as host for the 2011 conference. "

Further, "The 'Additional Protocol to the Convention on cybercrime,
concerning the criminalization of acts of a racist and xenophobic
nature committed through computer systems,' was signed by Canada in
2005, but has not yet been ratified. The Additional Protocol requires
signatory states to adopt legislation and the necessary measures to
criminalize the distribution and making available to the public racist
or xenophobic material through computer systems, intentionally and
without right. It requires member states to pass legislation that
would cover racist insults and threats. "

"Making available to the public racist or xenophobic material" would
require even further tightening of our police state anti-free speech
legislation. "Xenophobic" is the $10 word for criticism of mass
foreign immigration. And that is exactly what the government is trying
to sneak into its Omnibus Crime Bill set to be re-introduced this
Autumn. Two amendments to Canada’s notorious “hate law”. Sec.
318 and 319 of the Criminal Code , wildly expand the definition of
“communicate” and even use the wording of the protocol signed by
our treacherous politicians; to wit, “make available.” According
to a Library of Parliament summary of this legislation: “Clause 5 of
the bill provides that the offences of public incitement of hatred and
wilful promotion of hatred may be committed by any means of
communication and include making hate material available, by creating
a hyperlink that directs web surfers to a website where hate material
is posted.”

Equally worrisome is the Report's support for the wildly far reaching
definition of anti-Semitism concocted by "the European Union
Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC), which monitors
racism and anti-Semitism in EU Member States.” [Don’t these
over-stuffed Euro control freaks in Brussels have nothing else to do
with their time?] It states: "Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of
Jews, which may be expressed as hatred towards Jews. Rhetorical and
physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or
non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community
institutions and religious facilities. In addition, such
manifestations could also target the state of Israel, conceived as a
Jewish collectivity. The CPCCA supports and adopts the EUMC Working
Definition of Anti-Semitism for the purpose of this report and
recommends that the definition be adopted and promoted by the
Government of Canada and law enforcement agencies. The CPCCA also
supports the view, expressed in the report of Britain’s All-Party
Parliamentary Inquiry into Anti-Semitism in the UK, that "any remark,
insult or act the purpose or effect of which is to violate a Jewish
person’s dignity or create an intimidating, hostile, degrading,
humiliating or offensive environment for him is anti-Semitic." This
utterly subjective definition would make any criticism of Israel or
Jews problematic as it might create "an intimidating ... or offensive
environment."

To be fair, the Report does seem to agree that mere criticism of
Israel is not anti-Semitic, but there is a sneaky "but" included: "Let
it be clear: Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic, and saying so is
wrong. But singling Israel out for selective condemnation and
opprobrium – let alone denying its right to exist or seeking its
destruction – is discriminatory and hateful." Speaking of its
ultimate right to exist as an exclusive Jewish state, how does one
explain to a Palestinian, Christian or Moslem, that is was alright for
foreigners to swarm into their land and eventually expel them from
large parts of it to set up their own religious state? Here's a
further question, if Jews are entitled to have their own religious
state, why can't the overwhelming Christian Majority of Canada and the
U.S. insist that this be Christian and European countries? These were
perhaps the sort of challenges the committee did not want to hear.

We suspect this vastly expanded and subjective definition of
anti-Semitism lies behind another amendment to the ”hate law.”
“Hate propaganda offences must be committed against an
‘identifiable group.’ Clause 4 of the bill adds ‘national
origin’ to the definition of [privileged] ‘identifiable
groups.’” There has never been a more Israel Firster government in
Canada. We fear this change to the “hate law” may make criticism
of Israel increasingly dangerous and difficult
