YES, LADIES, HE IS AVAILABLE

*CRIME WATCH* *Yes, Ladies, He Is Available* In Regina, "a Somali refugee has been sentenced to time in jail for a protracted beating during which he whipped his sister repeatedly with a power cord [early reports mention an iron was also employed to bring the girl to heel] and threatened to shave off her hair to punish her for sneaking out of the house to celebrate her birthday at a club. *Ibrahim Osman*, 23, pleaded guilty on Monday to assault causing bodily harm for the attack on his sister. Their mother, *Shaffiga Hussein*, is also charged with assaulting the girl in the same incident. Her matter remains before the courts. Sentencing Osman on Monday, *Provincial Court Judge Kenn Bellerose* said the case is one where the courts need to send a message that the girl is free to celebrate her birthday within the law — just as Osman is free to practise his religious beliefs in a lawful way. 'That's why she came to this country. That's why you came to this country: Freedom to do what you want within the law,' he said. ... Police officers dispatched to a Cavendish Street house in November arrived to find the girl crying and obviously injured, with a badly swollen lip and cheek. The girl's sister told police that, when the teen arrived home from school, her brother pulled her inside the house, locked the door and began punching and kicking her and hitting her with a power cord. Osman eventually told the girl to go shower and said he was going to shave her head. [Crown prosecutor *Connie*] * Hottinger* said the girl had 20-25 whip marks on her back, and was treated in hospital for her injuries. She is currently in foster care. Defence lawyer *Dave Armstrong* said the family are refugees from Somalia, and spent 14 years in a refugee camp before coming to Regina two years ago. Osman told his lawyer this kind of matter would have been dealt with differently in the refugee camp. ... Armstrong said Osman is also struggling because he is going blind. Osman's mother spoke briefly in court, saying her son had never been in trouble before, and she believes the steroid medication he is taking for his eyes has had an impact on his behaviour. ... Osman also pleaded guilty to threatening to kill his mother during another incident a month ago, and admitted two charges of mischief for damaging cells at the city police station and the provincial courthouse in Regina. Osman has been in jail since his arrest on the threatening charge last month. Bellerose imposed two months more for the assault, and one month consecutive for the threat. The jail term will be followed by 12 months of probation with a number of conditions, during which Osman will have to take substance abuse counselling, anger management programming and not have any contact with his sister." (*Regina** Leader-Post*, February 9, 2010) An earlier *Leader-Post* report dated October 1-- that's about a month before she allegedly participated in the honour beating of her daughter -- starts like this: "*Shaffiga Hussein,* an immigrant from Somalia, was losing hope until training provided at the *Regina Open Door Society* helped her land a job." How touching to see that the entire *Can-West* newspaper network, along with various settlement organizations, have scrubbed this awkward feel good story from the web. Now, it may be that Regina harbours more than one Somali female named *Shaffiga Hussein*, but the important thing is that we helped.

THE BEAVER -- A RELIC

*The Beaver -- A Relic * "*The emblem of Canada is the Beaver; her motto-Industry, Intelligence, and Integrity. These qualifications are required by all who desire to make honorable progress in life, and when possessed and put into practice, cannot fail to command success. Many of our wealthy inhabitants landed in the country without a friend to receive them, and with little beyond their own industrious habits to recommend them, and many to whom the future looks unpromising annually resort to our shores. But in Canada, success is to be achieved by the poorest through honest labour*. Willingness to work will ensure comfort and independence to every prudent, sober man. No promises of extravagant wages are held out, but a fair day's pay for a fair day's work is open to every man, in a country where the necessaries of life are cheap and abundant. Amongst emigrants, cases of disappointment must occasionally occur, but in nine cases out of ten, they may be traced to the individuals themselves. Energy and physical ability for labour are two essential elements for success in a new country; their absence must involve failure, and exaggerated expectations will invariably lead to disappointment." (*Information for Intending Emigrants*, Quebec: 1864) It is worth noting that this philosophy would persist for the next hundred years. The next forty would produce, not immigrants, but foster children. [This article appears in the Mach, 2010 issue of the *CANADIAN IMMIGRATION HOTLINE*.

FORMER POLITICAL PRISONER BRAD LOVE ON COP SHOWS, HAITIANS & FOREIGN AID

*Former Political Prisoner Brad Love on Cop Shows, Haitians & Foreign Aid* ** *It's easy to spot and it's on every channel. Cop reality shows and who they are chasing. And it can be in Miami, Detroit, Kansas City, Dallas, Phoenix or New Orleans. The faces are all the same. And it can be real cops of every colour or wannabe cops or has-been actors, bounty hunters, the DEA or U.S. Marshalls. They are running after the same culprits. The black male.* ** *Steven Segal chases them down and then throws them to the ground. Beautiful! He also goes on meeting and greeting in the black hoods, but only in the daytime and when wearing full body armour and with three other cops. That's reality. * ** *Dog the Bounty Hunter? Well, admittedly, he chases mostly white drug addicts and homeless people who are out on bail. But this is only because blacks have such severe criminal records so they are never released on bail for Dog to again track them down.* *And, yet, on all of those CSI-type shows the hip, young white cops chase down hip, young white criminals. What gives Don't the writers/producers of such shows live in the real world? Do they really think they're fooling anyone? The only actual reality to these shows is how they abuse the civil rights of everyone they encounter and arrest at will anyone who challenges them or sticks up for themselves. PATHETIC!* *Here in Canada sellouts Steven Harper and Jason Kenney, without consulting a single Canadian, plan to allow in 5000 broke, unskilled, illiterate,sickly, demanding Haitian layabouts. They will then join up with the 150,000 Haitians, many protesting, broke, unskilled, illiterate sickly, and demanding, and many of whom are now clogging up housing projects and raping us at the welfare office in Montreal. Those who aren't already in jail, that is. Either way, we pay.* *Here in Alberta, the gov't. gave away $500 grand and then several days later laid off a 150 staffers who wouldn't dare utter a peep. Think about it folks, our kiss-ass gov't. could double the pension of every retired person and cut every working persons income tax rate by half if they simply halted its Third World giveways and its losing war in Afghanistan. * ** *So, either speak up about such madness, or remain silent and go broke! It's your choice. It's called 'democracy'. Oh and notice, not one African or Caribbean nation will offer much assistance to Haiti or even take their people in. Perhaps they know something that we don't but are about to find out. The hard way!!!* *Zoglog ... it's easy to figure as to why cops/courts come down so hard on those who expose our immigration mess. For they know that if proper measures are taken, thousands, if not tens of thousands of cops, court staff, legal aid lawyers, jail guards, social workers and special interest whiners will lose their too-easy jobs and be forced out into the real workplace to seek gainful employment. Yep, it really is that simple.* *BRAD LOVE* ** *Former political prisoner Brad Love, who was sentenced, in 2003, to 18 months in prison for writing non-threatening letters to public officials, keeps his writing skills sharp with his comments from Alberta. He served two further terms for writing non-threatening letters to other politicians and newspapers for alleged “breach of probation” gag orders, yes, here in Canada, not in North Korea or Burma. On may 3-4, he faces a "breach of probation" trial for writing non-violent letters to York University Student Union and the Canadian Jewish Congress next May. Apparently, the Crown wants to toss this dissident in jail for THREE ( yes that 3!) years.] *
