Paul Fromm on Two Betrayals: Bill C-51 and Stephen Harper “We’re A Pro-Immigration Gov’t”
ANOTHER FILIPINO SCAM
This is what the loophole-riddled Temporary Foreign Workers’ Programme leads to. Notice in this Toronto Star (May 5, 2015) article that scamster Imelda “Mel” (how delightfully informal) Fronda Saluma, now under arrest, bilked more than $2.3-million from 600 or more fellow Filipinos. Among the phony jobs she pledged to secure for them were “jobs at McDonald’s, Holiday Inn, Pizza Hut and Tim Hortons.”
With all the caterwauling about “racism” surrounding any criticism of Canada’s lax immigration programmes, note the Fronda Saluma, I mean “Mel”‘s victims were her own Filipino people. She even scoured other nations for gullible Filipinos who would pay her for phony “services. ” TheToronto Star reports: “People living in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, Israel and the United Kingdom were all allegedly drawn in, said Det. Erwin Mendoza. Some were already living in Canada and were allegedly promised visa extensions or permanent residency.”
According to the Toronto Star, ” They came from all around the world and shared the same dream: securing a job in Canada, becoming a permanent resident and ultimately reuniting with their families.
The $5,000 price tag was hefty: $1,500 for the job match, $2,000 for an employment contract and a positive government labour market opinion, and a final installment of $1,500 when the work visa was issued. Word of mouth in the close-knit Filipino community guided people to Imelda “Mel” Fronda Saluma, who was trusted because she was Filipino like them.
Police allege hundreds were then stranded around the world without papers or money. Others were rejected by Immigration Canada and prohibited from reapplying for two years. On Tuesday, Toronto police accused Saluma, 46, of being behind a massive scam that bilked more than $2.3 million from 600 prospective Filipino immigrants. The mother of four was charged in February and had more fraud-related offences added last week. She now faces 73 charges involving allegedly selling forged employment documents to foreigners so they could apply to come to Canada as temporary foreign workers. …
.Saluma ran GoWest Jobs International on Finch Ave. W., just east of Keele St. with a sole staffer: Rose Fabe Walters, a.k.a. Rosemarie Walters. According to one victim’s allegations, clients were convinced of GoWest’s legitimacy by the happy smiles they saw on Facebook of Filipino workers the agency claimed to have brought to Canada in 2012 to pick green peppers on a Cambridge farm.
Agnes Aquino said she is out $24,500, money she claimed she paid Saluma and Walters to bring her brother and other relatives to Canada in August 2012. ‘Even though we always had to pay in cash, we didn’t suspect anything. We all came from the Philippines. We had this blind faith and trusted they also wanted to help others to come here,’ said Aquino, who came to Canada in 2001 as a live-in caregiver.’I was trying to help my relatives. They remitted me the money and I paid Rose (Walters). My relatives are angry at me and blame it on me. I don’t trust anyone anymore, even when I really want to help.’

Angry clients flocked to an online forum where recruiters who had never met each other began to realize the sheer size of the alleged scam. Aquino says she and nine other agents took their client lists and paperwork to Toronto Police last October.
The current GoWest investigation goes back only to July 1, 2012. Police believe Saluma may have been operating under a different corporate name before that date, but haven’t received any complaints from that time period. People living in the Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, Israel and the United Kingdom were all allegedly drawn in, said Det. Erwin Mendoza. Some were already living in Canada and were allegedly promised visa extensions or permanent residency. … Rose Grey, a singer from Windsor who says she recruited clients for Saluma from her home province of Nueva Ecija, Philippines, says four of the approximately 100 people she assisted have actually made it into Canada. Grey alleges Saluma provided her with documents promising immigrants jobs at McDonald’s, Holiday Inn, Pizza Hut and Tim Hortons, and paid her a $150 commission per person.
‘She convinced me and I convinced my people,’ she said. Grey, who complained to police and has not been charged, says she never saw any original documents, only passed along photocopies or scanned attachments by email. ‘She would have an LMO (labour market opinion) for 50 people and then sell it to 300 or 500 people,” she alleged. “When we were all in the (police) precinct, we all had the same documents.”

It is our government who allows our work to be given to foreign workers!
Sydney ranked third among least-affordable cities after Hong Kong and Vancouver, according to report
“Australia will jail foreigners who purchase homes illegally as the government seeks to slow a surge in house prices, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said.”
Brad: Canada will pick you up at the airport, drive you to meet the realtor who marketed the property to you in Asia, and translate the purchase agreement into a language you can understand.
“The penalties will tighten scrutiny on overseas buyers at a time when record-low interest rates aredriving up Sydney property prices five times faster than wages.”
Brad: Same situation in Vancouver, regarding property prices increasing faster than wage increases. Our real estate boards, developers and realtors are all working in support of this trend.
“Overseas buyers are only allowed to purchase newly built homes in Australia and need the permission of the Foreign Investment Review Board”
Brad: In Canada, anything goes, in particular the corresponding result of the lack of affordability for low and middle income Canadians. As a result, these folks are being pushed out of their city and are replaced by rich foreigners and new arrivals.
“In Victoria state[Australia], foreigners buying houses will pay a new tax equivalent to 3 percent of the purchase price, the Age newspaper reported Saturday.
Brad: My goodness…there is a workable method to help deal with these issues. Perhaps if the BC Provincial government, along with our municipal politicians, were not so busy integrating China into Canada they might have a few moments to consider similiar initiatives.
Alice Wong, Richmond MP: salary paid by Canadian tax payers, working on behalf of the government of China. Her recent Vancouver-based celebration:
“The government[Australian] plans to introduce legislation on the measures later this year and ensure the changes are enacted on Dec. 1.”
Brad: The B.C. government plans to introduce a full Asian buffet at the 70th anniversary of the communist China celebration in Vancouver, occuring in the year 2020.

er!

||Anthropophagy: “Vince” Wei Guang Li — The Chinese Cannibal Nows Walks Among Us
“A day after finding the mangled and blackened flight data recorder from the Alps crash site in southeastern France, investigators said the box revealed that [German Wings co-pilot Andreas] Lubitz repeatedly accelerated the airliner to hasten its collision course with the mountain. … The revelations came as top French psychiatrist Samuel Lepastier said it was highly likely Lubitz was suffering from schizophrenia given the strong medication he was on – notably Olanzapine, whose side effects can include ‘unusual changes in personality, thoughts or behaviour; hallucinations and suicidal tendencies.’” (Telegraph, April 3, 2015)
Turns out cannibal-killer “Vince” Wei Guang Li is a fan of the antipsychotic drug: “My thinking is becoming normal. I don’t think weird things. I take my medication, Olanzapine, every day. I am glad to take it. I don’t have any weird voices anymore,’ Li said in 2012.” (National Post, February 27, 2014) Of course, Li’s biggest fan, his wildly admiring psychiatrist Steven Kremer, was pressing for greater liberties within months of the creature’s arrival at the secure wing of the Selkirk Manitoba institution, following the NCR [Not Criminally Responsible, the politically correct version of criminally insane] finding. Another of Li’s admirers is Chris Summerville, CEO of the Schizophrenia Society of Canada: “Summerville, who is based in Winnipeg, has worked with Li. He says the 46-year old has done well in care at the Selkirk Mental Health Centre. Li’s psychiatrist, Dr. Steven Kremer, told the review board recently that Li had not had hallucinations in over a year. [A whole year!] On Friday, the review board ruled Li could transfer to a psychiatric centre at a Winnipeg hospital and will be allowed unsupervised visits to the Manitoba capital as long as he carries a cellphone. [Dr. Alexander Simpson, chief of forensic psychiatry at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, a University of Toronto teaching hospital, says] getting people with certain mental health conditions — schizophrenia among them — to religiously take their medication can be a problem. But Simpson says people who have committed a serious crime while in the grips of psychosis are often so horrified by their actions that they are highly motivated to follow a mandated medical regimen. ‘The fact that they’ve harmed somebody seriously or killed somebody and caused other people grave suffering is a thing they can feel immensely bad about and is then a motivator for changing one’s life. And those are issues we work on with people very much.’” (CBC, March 2, 2015)
Unfortunately, records show Li has a history of refusing to take his meds; it’s how he got into trouble in the first place. And he is not entirely “horrified” by his actions: to this day he refuses to believe that he committed an act of cannibalism. In what sense does that suggest he is “cured?” Parts of Tim McLean’s heart and both his eyes were never recovered, not from the crime scene, not from Li’s pockets, where other of his victim’s body parts had been secreted away. Finally, if Li’s medication is still Olanzapine, should innocent bystanders hope he takes it religiously – or not? It always impresses us that Canadian news stories are fleshed out in the foreign press, while the domestic version is curiously sanitized and, well, bloodless. We are grateful to the New York Daily News of October 4, 2014, for filling in some of the gaps; for instance, we did not know that Li was responsible for two deaths: “Mounties arrived in time to witness Li slicing off pieces of the body and eating them. Later, after they snagged the killer while he was trying to escape through a window, they found plastic bags containing body parts, and a piece of an ear, nose and tongue in his pocket. The scene was so horrific that at least one of the first responders never got over it. In July 2014, [Cpl. Ken Barker] took his own life, after sending messages to loved ones saying, ‘I’m too broken to ever be fixed.’
[As for the catalyst,] born in 1968 in Dandong City, China, Li was a premature baby and a fragile child who suffered from developmental delays. He later graduated from college, married, and found work in a factory. In 2001, Li and his wife immigrated to Canada, where he slipped from one menial job to the next. Around 2004, his wife told police, he started to complain of hearing voices. He became increasingly strange as he hopped from city to city in search of work. Police once found him wandering along the road, disoriented, sleep-deprived and hungry. He told them that God had ordered him to ‘follow the sun’ by walking from Toronto to Winnipeg. Instead, he ended up in a psychiatric center but left after a short stay. He refused to follow doctor’s orders. [But this time for sure, right?] In the two years before the murder, Li traveled back and forth to China twice. The last time, in summer of 2008, he stayed only one day before hightailing it back to Canada. [Something is not right here: This peripatetic holder of menial jobs who is losing a tenuous grip on reality manages to scrape together the scratch to travel to China twice on the income provided by a series of jobs swinging a mop and delivering newspapers? (His wife waitressed in Chinese restaurants, but tips aren’t that good. In any event, the couple divorced in 2006).
Despite Li’s worsening mental state, he nevertheless managed to bamboozle us – twice: He arrived on June 11, 2001 and took the citizenship oath Nov. 7, 2006. This man, described as barely functional in English, was admitted as a skilled worker with a supposed job waiting as a computer programmer; he never worked in the field. Was this a case of misrepresentation? Now that the gentleman is essentially a free agent, perhaps the time has come to examine the means by which he finessed entry and citizenship. Must we really be stuck with this cannibal? Every account of the horrors on that bus suggest that Li’s attack on McLean was entirely unprovoked: Does it change the picture to learn that McLean was just a little guy? At 5 foot 4 inches and 130 pounds, he was almost certainly the smallest man on the bus. Remember, Li changed seats to sit beside his victim just prior to the attack.

“According to the sixth recent iteration of the World Values Survey for South Korea (from 2010), a survey of 1,200 Koreans revealed that 34 percent of respodents felt negatively about multi-ethnic residents living next door and 44 percent of respondents felt negatively about migrant workers living next door.”
Brad: Yet in Canada, if a person so much as makes a public statement questioning government- enforced immigration, they are condemned by our media as xenophobic, or worse:
Moreover, twenty percent of respondents to the survey think foreigners “destabilize” South Korean society.
Impossible! Vancouver 2015:
“Citing a JTBC news report on South Korean public opinion toward multiculturalism and foreigners, he writes that not only is the demographic change spurring discussion over Korea’s national identity, but also a social hierarchy that incorporates the wariness and confusion on the roles Koreans have with their new diverse neighbors.”
Brad: Meanwhile back in Canada, there is no discussion, no debate, no public input, no media coverage of the most transformative social policy since the founding of our nation in 1867. Government-inforced policy…just like the way they do things in China.
“The phenomenon of reevaluating the terms of national identity is not new nor is it unique to South Korea.”
Brad: Well, it sounds like a very different style of government in Korea. Perhaps, unlike the Canadian government, their leaders actually understand the social dynamics, public concerns, and have a long-term vision for what may transpire if immigration and socially-engineered multicult continue to thrive.
Contrast this with the behaviour of Vancouver’s political leaders: Malcolm Brodie, Raymond Louie, Teresa Wat, Alice Wong, Jenny Kwan: using our tax dollars to the liking of those who voted them into office?
“South Korean democracy now faces a test instigated by the increasing number (and awareness) of foreign-born residents and multiethnic citizens as well as North Korean–born defectors living on South Korean soil. “
Brad: More common sense from Korea’s leaders. How unusual to have a government that actually cares about its citizens. Of course, Canada once had this as well. Then came the Multicult Act of lucky 1988…
“With the number of foreign-born residents projected to reach 10 percent of the total population by 2030, the iterative process of social integration and government policy will certainly lead to major changes in Korea’s national identity in the coming years.”
Brad” Only at 10%? Man, these guys have it easy!
The Right Words About Temporary Foreign Workers — Hope They Mean What They Say
“Employers have had four years to find alternative employees. Similarly, temporary foreign workers have had four years to pursue pathways to permanent residence.
“The purpose of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program is exactly that – to be temporary. Canadians rightly expect to get first crack at available jobs.
“Temporary workers may wish to explore the many pathways to permanent residency we offer which are now delivered through Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs. We encourage foreign workers to apply through these streams so that they can contribute permanently to Canada’s economy and to their communities.
“But let there be no mistake: We will not tolerate people going ‘underground.’ Flouting our immigration laws is not an option, and we will deal with offenders swiftly and fairly.
“Canadians are welcoming and generous but we need to ensure that we’re putting Canadians first and standing up against potential abuse of our immigration system.”
