Our Treasonous Political Class Just Can’t Replace Us Fast Enough

![But, Minister, If You Choose Immigrants So Carefully, Why Are We Spending $600-million Outside Quebec, on "Immigrant Settlement"?
A press release today (January 29, 2015) from the office of Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander enthuses:
"The government has significantly increased funding for newcomer settlement services in jurisdictions outside of Quebec, from less than $200 million in 2005-06 to almost $600 million in 2014-15.
More than 700 service provider organizations across Canada receive funds dedicated to helping newcomers adjust to life in Canada.
The government is committed to ensuring that newcomers integrate and contribute fully to the Canadian economy, and to their communities, as soon as possible."
So, excluding Quebec, the Dominion Government spends $600-million a year -- three times the sum when it took office --on "immigrant settlement ... ensuring that newcomers integrate and contribute fully to the Canadian economy and their communities." These programmes are a racket, often staffed by ethnic community power brokers. They deliver such programmes as ESL, job search help, and employment preparation.
Here's a question: "If immigrants were more carefully selected as to language, needed job skills, and cultural compatibility, could this $600 annual expenditure (In English Canada alone) be avoided?"
Immigration not only costs unemployed Canadians jobs and job opportunities and suppresses wages, but. as Herb Grubel and Patrick Kelly have demonstrated in a study for the Fraser Institute [Immigration and the Canadian Welfare State, 2011] , the poorly selected immigrant cohort from 1986 to 2004, costs the Canadian taxpayers $25-billion annually! That figure comes from calculating what these immigrants contribute to the pot in taxes at all levels and subtracting what they take from the tax pot in terms of services, medicare, welfare, public housing, etc.

A Federal judge had decreed that failed “refugee” claimants are once again to have more benefits than poor Canadians and that taxpayers must continue to PAY for people who chose to drop in and make a “refugee” claim.
The Globe and Mail (July 4, 2014) reported: “The Conservative government’s latitude to choose its own policies was curtailed yet again on Friday when a judge called health-care cuts for failed refugee claimants, and those from countries deemed by Ottawa to be safe, a form of “cruel and unusual treatment” and ruled them unconstitutional.
The ruling by Justice Anne Mactavish of the Federal Court in Ottawa was the latest sign that the executive branch of government and the judiciary are in open conflict. …
So rare is the use of Section 12 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms – “cruel and unusual treatment or punishment” – that neither the government nor the refugees’ representatives were able to identify a single successful claim outside of criminal cases. …
Justice Mactavish said the government’s two-year-old policy of denying health care to certain classes of failed refugee claimants amounted to cruel and unusual treatment because it intentionally targeted vulnerable children and adults. She said it put at risk “the very lives of these innocent and vulnerable children in a manner that shocks the conscience and outrages our standards of decency.” She gave the government four months to restore the health-care funding. …
In this case, the government argued that it had the right to try to deter bogus claimants from coming to Canada, or overstaying, by denying them medical care, except where they had diseases that could spread to others. It said the cuts would save $80-million over four years, and those denied care could turn to charity, emergency rooms or private insurance.
Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said the government will appeal the ruling. “Failed claimants and those from safe countries like the U.S. or Europe should not be entitled to better health care than Canadians receive.” (The government would need to seek a stay of Justice Mactavish’s order if it wishes to continue with the cuts while an appeal is being heard.)”
Don’t forget these are “failed” refugee claimants. Even under our permissive interpretation of “refugee”, these people have not passed muster. However, as long as they are here, they are entitled to more benefits (like full dental care) than poor Canadians whose families may have been here for 10 generations.
Justice Mactavish’s inane ruling continues the reasoning of the ludicrous 1985 “Singh” decision by the Supreme Court which held that anyone, anyone, who could put his tiny toe on Canadian soil had a RIGHT to make a refugee claim and be given a formal hearing. Furthermore, while here, the claimant had ALL the rights of a Canadian citizen, except the right to vote. That meant the foreign would-be “refugee” was entitled to legal aid, welfare, medical care, public housing and language and job training. And, of course, the taxpayers must PAY the freight for someone we had not invited and who had simply decided to drop by.
Through the requirement of visas for certain problem countries (Czechoslovakia and its Gypsies), the government has tried to stem the flow of bogus refugees, seeking merely an opportunity to collect welfare in Canada for years on end and get their bodies and teeth tuned up through our health care system.
The only real long-range solution is to use Sec. 33 of the Constitution, the “notwithstanding clause” and reverse the Singh Decision and Justice Mactavish’s ruling. A sane immigration policy would stipulate that the ONLY way to enter Canada as an immigrant or “refugee” would be to apply and be vetted abroad.
And tonight, I received this e-mail from John McCallum Liberal Party critic for immigration, clearly showing that the Liberals are eager to make Canadians continue to have to pay tens of millions of dollars to support bogus “refugee” claimants.
“Paul —
Last Friday, the Federal Court ruled that the Harper government’s “cruel and unusual” cuts to refugee health care were unconstitutional. Sadly instead of respecting the Court’s decision, the Conservatives have chosen to appeal it.
Liberals have been calling on the Harper government to reverse these cuts since they were first announced.

Canada is known around the world as a place of compassion and a safe haven for those fleeing the most terrible conditions imaginable. But the Conservative government has repeatedly put that reputation at risk with their changes to our refugee system.

When the name of Haitian import Michaelle Jean, married to a White husband, was proposed to then Prime Minister Paul Martin for Governor-General, he gushed with enthusiasm. She was the perfect symbol of the New Canada, a foreigner in a mixed race relationship, to replace the then Governor-General, Chinese import, Adrienne Clarkson, married to a White husband.
Promoting mixed race relationships is a key part of the plan to replace the European founding/settler people of this Dominion.
Thus, it comes as little surprise to learn that Vancouver’s oh-so trendy Mayor Gregor Robertson now has a Chinese girlfriend,
named Wanting Qu.
The Hongcouver Blog by Ian Young on the South China Morning Post (January 14, 2015) website reports the story and contains some interesting factoids about Vancouver, Canada’s most miscegenated city.
“She has also helped develop the mayor’s substantial social media following in China (he has more than 88,000 followers on Weibo; Qu has 1.5 million) in various ways.”
“For a start, Vancouver has the highest rate of mixed-race unions in Canada, according to a 2010 Statistics Canada report, based on 2006 census results.”
“It’s true that ethnic Chinese have one of the lowest rates of mixed race unions in Canada: Only 12.7 per cent of all ethnic Chinese in couples in Canada had partners of another race. Compare that to, say, 74.7 per cent of ethnic Japanese”
“And because Chinese immigration has been growing so rapidly, the proportion of ethnic Chinese in Canada who are foreign-born – 72 per cent according to the 2001 census – is far higher than for most other ethnicities.”

Vancouver’s ridiculously photogenic mayor, Gregor Robertson, has a new girlfriend, the mainland-Chinese-born pop star Wanting Qu.
First, some background and a disclaimer: I reckon the relationship is worth scrutiny for at least a couple of non-prurient reasons, not the least of which is that Robertson’s own PR team put his private life front and centre last summer at the start of his re-election campaign. This was ostensibly in response to some pretty wild rumours circulating about the married mayor’s private life which remain unfounded; the excellent reason that they have not been repeated by the mainstream media is that there is no reason to believe that they are true.
But Robertson’s campaign team didn’t have to respond the way they did, with a full-court-press that included the release of a private email from a political opponent to the mayor (CCed to a fellow councillor) that recounted some of the rumours. Now, Vancouver’s mainstream media has its faults – but an over-willingness to poke about the private lives of its politicians is not one of them, and I find it difficult to believe that these rumours would have been printed without the intervention of Robertson’s own people.
The upshot was that Robertson’s separation from his wife, Amy, was confirmed to the general public in prominent fashion.

Another reason the mayor’s relationship with 31-year-old Qu, who is based in Vancouver, deserves at least some examination is her paid position as the city’s Chinese tourism ambassador. She has also helped develop the mayor’s substantial social media following in China (he has more than 88,000 followers on Weibo; Qu has 1.5 million) in various ways. These included a bikini-clad shout-out to the mayor in August, when Qu undertook the ALS ice-bucket challenge.
A month later, she did a ‘Marilyn‘ and sang happy birthday to the mayor on the Chinese Youku video-sharing site when he turned 50 in September. She also attended the mayor’s inauguration in December and both spent the holiday season in Hawaii.
Neither the mayor nor Qu are commenting directly on the relationship (first reported by the Globe and Mail’s Frances Bula last week), and that’s their prerogative. Qu on Sunday obliquely observed on Instagram : “I have lived my life with integrity, strong morals and respect for the world. I believe in life you just gotta be who you are. And you’ll only attract those who are like you and live by the same values.”
There have been some sadly predictable racist remarks in various online forums. But asides from the public profiles of the presumably happy couple, their pairing represents nothing terribly remarkable. For a start, Vancouver has the highest rate of mixed-race unions in Canada, according to a 2010 Statistics Canada report, based on 2006 census results. The study found that 8.5 per cent of couples in Vancouver were in racially mixed unions, compared to the national average of just 3.9 per cent, Toronto’s 7.1 per cent and Montreal’s 4.4 per cent.

It’s true that ethnic Chinese have one of the lowest rates of mixed race unions in Canada: Only 12.7 per cent of all ethnic Chinese in couples in Canada had partners of another race. Compare that to, say, 74.7 per cent of ethnic Japanese (whose are the most prone to being part of a multi-racial couple, according to the census).
It might be tempting for some to think that this data therefore demonstrates a powerful romantic aversion among Chinese for other races (or, conversely, other races’ aversion towards Chinese) that makes Harbin-born Qu an oddity.
But closer examination will show otherwise. Over all, minority members born overseas were far less likely to be in a mixed couple than Canadian-born minority members (12 per cent to 56 per cent). It’s obvious when you think about it: People who immigrate tend to do so as adults, and as such are more likely to have formed a relationship in their former homelands. The effect is particularly pronounced among ethnic Chinese in couples, only 6 per cent of whom were in mixed unions if they were born outside Canada. But among ethnic Chinese born under the maple leaf, that rate soars to 54 per cent. In other words, most Canadian-born Chinese in couples had a non-Chinese partner.
And because Chinese immigration has been growing so rapidly, the proportion of ethnic Chinese in Canada who are foreign-born – 72 per cent according to the 2001 census – is far higher than for most other ethnicities. Among ethnic Japanese, only 23 per cent were born outside Canada (2001 census).
Another factor is likely at play in reducing the general likelihood of mixed race unions among Chinese, and that’s the sheer scale of the ethnic Chinese community. Members of smaller minorities (such as Japanese) simply don’t have as large a pool of potential romantic partners of the same ethnicity, regardless of any supposed race-based romantic preferences.
All of which goes to show, in a roundabout way, that racial romantic pre-determinism is a pretty wobbly concept at best. Black or white, Chinese or not, mayor or pop singer, the heart wants what the heart wants. The Hongcouver blog wishes Robertson and Ms Qu the very best.
