But the fucking Khadrs can stay???!!!!!!!

I don't even know how to respond to this one. Yakub Mohamed is being deported to his native Somalia next week as his refugee claim has been denied. Mohamed has been in Canada since 1989. He has nothing to go back to since his wife and four children (one of whom was born here, the other three were granted asylum in 1994) are all Canadian citizens. How can the government possibly justify separating this family? Or perhaps they think that the whole family should go back to war ravaged Somalia?

Meanwhile, we are falling over ourselves to accomodate people who have been affected by the Tsunami, with absolutely no thought for people suffering in other parts of the world.

The pathetic thing is that we have actually convinced ourselves that we are a caring nation.
