I see the NDP as having similar problems! They are all so busy bashing the present Government, that they can't see the forest for the trees!

Let's just say hypothetically speaking we did screen immigrants for Anti-Canadian values.<br /><br />We're screening immigrant #2034 and one of his questions is "How do you feel about homosexuals"? And his response is "Well to be honest in my culture it's frowned upon it's totally wrong and we cannot accept it".<br /><br />That's not too bad right? Maybe just tell him in Canada we accept everyone and teach him to be more open-minded.<br /><br />Screening immigrant #2079... "What happens if your daughter marries a man you don't approve of?" Answer "If she hurts our family's honor she will have to be punished." ...<br /><br />Screening immigrant #3045 "Do you believe in beheading those who insult the Prophet Muhammad?" ...<br /><br />I'd imagine that most coming here just want a better life for themselves. But if one in a thousand could be a risk wouldn't you want to know about it?<br /><br />I used to be a manager at a big company. I'd do hundreds of interviews. I guarantee you one out of every 50 was a wackjob. You would be amazed at some of the thing's complete strangers who I've just met would say to me.<br /><br />Please excuse my ignorance but to a certain extent don't they screen immigrants anyhow? I'm sure throughout the process (which can take years) they are asked all sorts of questions. I'd like to think Canada does some screening as it is, unlike what Merkel did which was pretty much a free for all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
