Media lie: Police support Long Gun-Registry

The line that the rank and file police officers are overwhelmingly in favour of the Long gun-Registry is repeated ad nauseum in the media.

An example of this is when MP Shelly Glover was on Power Play and Tom Clark asked her to name officers who wanted it scrapped. It would take a brave but foolhardy police officer to openly go against either their superiors and/or union heads by voicing their true feelings on the Registry.

A national survey done by Constable Randy Kuntz, a 22-year veteran with Edmonton Police Services, shows a very different rate of police officers supporting the Registry than what the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police led by Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair would have us believe.

If I have to choose which version to believe, I’m putting my faith and trust in a survey done by a real cop and answered by real cops, not politician-cops. (see here)

71% Tamil “refugees” return to Sri Lanka for vacations

Brian Lilley in the Toronto Sun discovers a shocking secret government survey that shows 71% of successful Tamil refugee claimants surveyed returned to Sri Lanka for vacations, business or to sponsor family members.

James Bissett former head of Immigration Canada:

“I think it’s been fairly common knowledge, that after asylum seekers get status they go back. Certainly after they get landed immigrant status they go back.” (see story here)

Just don’t count on all those in the media (far too many to list here) who have championed the latest Tamils arrival to report on this since it doesn’t fit their story line. Especially don’t look for those that have played the race card and called those that question their legitimacy or the immigration processes, racists, to change their blinded versions.

Stephen Hume Vancouver Sun:

“Public rage against Tamil refugees has a nasty, xenophobic odour. Why this mean-spirited furore over a few Tamils? Perhaps it’s because they aren’t white”

Ethan Baron The Province:

“you’d think from the outrage at the arrival of nearly 500 ethnic Tamils that we’re a nation of rednecks in pointy white hats instead of a country of immigrants cloaked in multiculturalism”
