Controlling the borders - the Northern menace
Sat, 20 Nov 2004 21:55:11 EST

Canada is busy sending back Bush-dodgers. Tuesday, November 16, 2004

The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration.

The re-election of President Bush is prompting the exodus among left
leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill O'Reilly.

Canadian border farmers say it 's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?"

In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk."

Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves.

A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. I found one carload without a drop of drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though."

When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often
wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR.

In the days since the election, liberals have turned to sometimes ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers. If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we get suspicious about their age," an official said.

Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies.

I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. How many art-history majors does one country need?"

In an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice President Dick Cheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the administration would take steps to reassure liberals, a source close to Cheney said. "We're going to have some Peter, Paul & Mary concerts. And we might put some endangered species on postage stamps. The president is determined to reach out."

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, just miles away from the New Brunswick border

I posted that same thing on the post about signs to use when Bush goes to Canada. Actually, I think he's there.

I've just found out today that my best friend is seriously thinking of moving to Vancouver.

Any Vancouverites care to share their experiences of being a (he's gay, too) liberal in that neck of the Canadian Woods?

Bill O'Reilly interviewed a Canadian lawyer who specializes on immigration last night on his program. Since most Mudcatters do not watch his show, I assume, allow me to summarize. You CAN immigrate to Canada provided you have $400,000 you are willing to loan to the Canadian govenment for four years, interest free, and have a talent or can provide a service that would be helpful to Canada.

It was not discussed, but I would assume that since performing is certainly a talent, there is no reason in the world why those of you who are anxious to exchange the U. S. stars and stripes for a flag with a maple leaf on it, should not be welcome in Canada.

So, bon voyage! (Amos, Bobert, et al.) Take warm clothing though.

P. S. If you don't have $400,000 to lend, it is considerably more difficult.

DougR,
I'm sure that with the recent tax breaks that you and Martin Gibson could probably help finance a few relocations!

Sounds typical of most countries these days, Doug... :-)

If you're rich enough, you can move anywhere you want to. This goes to show just what sort of people and interests are running the authoritative apparatus of society, doesn't it?

If you're a really rich bastard in Canada, you're probably a member of the Empire Club. They have meetings in Toronto. You're got to be King Shit to get through the door. They discuss ideas like:

1. Privatizing things (meaning: steal them from the public at a bargain price)

2. Downsizing (meaning: lay off your employees and outsource to China)

3. Mergers (meaning: kill genuine private enterprise in the form of small business and form multi-national monopolies)

4. "tax breaks": phony election propaganda. It works this way...you give the public a $50 rebate while privatizing $550 worth of public services and pocketing the $485 dollars left over after the service charges. The voters fall for it every time, because they are only consciously aware of the $50 rebate, and they don't hear about the other part. They end up $500 poorer, you end up $485 richer...and that's just the beginning...because you now charge them twice as much for the privatized service as you once charged them in tax for the public service!!!

5. Getting knighthoods and peerages from the British crown: like Conrad Black. What a thrill, eh? "Rise, Lord Black" Ptui!

6. Taking over all broadcast and print media so that the public doesn't hear much about this stuff I have just told you...

7. Trying to figure out how to control the content of the Internet too.... (this has fortunately proven impossible to do so far)

$400,000! U.S. or Canadian?

Hmm. Maybe I could sign over my Social Security payments. Maybe they'd let me in for the equity in my home mortgage.

Maybe I'll just sneak over the border and sing folksongs at folk clubs. The authorities would never find me!

You could join the US armed forces and desert. Then claim political asylum.

An Ipsos-Reid/CTV poll released Tuesday shows 58 percent of Canadians think Bush's re-election was a "bad thing," while 26 percent believed it was good. The poll surveyed 1,000 Canadians and had an margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

This is a quote from the link within the above link.

Hilarious!

I didn't bother to open this thread for about a day and a half, thinking it would be some kind of boring *serious* deal. Little did I know!

I'm not sure whether to believe that bit about $400,000 being required for landed immigrant status. Becoming a Canadian was free and relatively easy 35-40 years ago, when there was *much* more reason for young Americans to expatriate than there is today.

This site covers information regarding "entrepreneur" and "investor" class of immigration in Canada.

On my browser, I notice that the category links, other than investor and entrepreneur, come up as "Bad Request" LOL

A large amount of Asian emmigration, particularly from Hong Kong to British Columbia was/is done through these two categories.

MaineDog: why do you think that would dissuade our liberal friends from seeking a more friendly environment for their political philosophy. Most of them would probably continue to bitch about their lot anyway ...just in a new country.

Charlie: I only heard dollars mentioned in the interview with the Canadian lawyer.

PoppaGator: I'm only reporting what I saw and heard.

I fully expect to see a lot of Mudcatters moving to Canada, though, just as soon as they can raise the admission price. :>)

The blog discussing the introduction of Shariah law into a province (Ontario) doesn't have it quite right -- in fact, it's hysterical and silly.

Many provinces in Canada provide for cultural laws to be used in the case of civil disputes, if such use does not contravene the laws of the province or of Canada. For instance, native cultures in many provinces have their own ways of dealing with such issues as land disputes, divorce settlements, and so on.

Ontario is simply considering granting the same rights to Muslims. In divorce cases especially, where the rights of either party would normally be negotiated by a lawyer, either a Muslim lawyer or an imam would negotiate, and it would have to be with the agreement of both parties.

Muslim women are decrying the use of Sharia law in divorce cases, as it is traditionally anti-female, so the whole matter will probably not become an issue. But it is not a case of the incursion of Islamic law here any more than it would be the incursion of one of our traditional first nations religions.
