Another Postponement for Tran

The story is here

Jackie Tran - surprise! He appeared for deportation hearing

Tran must be getting very concerned about deportation now - he appeared for his deportation voluntarily on Nov 20. Story is here

Tran Released - gang related shootings the next day

The IRB ruling to release Tran last week took less than 48 hours to show what a dumb decision this turned out to be. The story is here

Jackie Tran - once again released by IRB

The Immigration Refugee Board has once against released this guy - even though he has a deportation appeal hearing that is supposed to be Nov 20. Will he show voluntarily? Past history suggests probably not. The latest story is here

Catch & Release - the IRB specialty - surfaces once more

Whatever is going on/not going on between the CBSA and The Immigration Dep't (specifically the IRBs) has got to stop and duties/responsibilities with the two units entirely separated.

Once again, an IRB Adjudicator has released a person that has been ordered deported 8 years ago and the story is here

Jackie Tran - now we have him, now we don't ; and once again we have him

Out on a pittance of bail, he has been again apprehended for violation of parole here

Released on bail by an IRB adjudicator last week, let's hope they are not dumb enough to release him again before a deportation hearing scheduled for this week.

This Immigration Refugee Board is pathetic and needs to disbanded.

Gangster Released - Calgary

The IRB strikes again. Immigration officials release well known gangster Jackie Tran and the story is here

Largest Calgary Heroin Bust

More on AB Language Law

... from the Edmonton Journal here

AB Language Law Struck Down

It was only a matter of time...

Francophone denied a court appearance in French (2003) appealed and has just won round one - the court found in his favor and has struck down AB Language Law (1988)
The story is here

Time to invoke the Notwithstanding Clause to ensure that AB's Language Law remains in force - just as Quebec invoked it to ensure that their Law 101 (their language law) remains in force.

Gun Carrying Passenger - Calgary Airport

O.K. Now let's see what is done about it. The story is here

Arar surfaces again

Having had his net worth considerably enhanced via the Canadian Government, apparently he has been busy working on the Americans.
Let's see how this works out for him here

Immigration/Justice - and the "bad guys"

Another terrible example that cries out for changes in our immigration policy here

And another regarding our inept justice system to act when it has the opportunity - reported here

My nomination papers were accepted on Feb 12 so I am officially running as an Independent candidate in the Calgary Lougheed Constituency.

gkeithlaurie.com is my web site . This constituency will see a full slate of candidates and hopefully will generate a lively campaign.

Feb 4/08 and I have just mailed in my application to register as an Independent candidate in the Calgary Lougheed Constituency. The election will be held on March 3 so time is precious.

I'm working on a web site and it will be connected shortly. In the meantime I will monitor this site for comments as the upcoming web site will not be interactive.

The posts below give some idea of where I am coming from. One of my priorities, if elected, would be to present a private members bill to remove the areas of freedom of speech from the AB Human Rights Commission and considerably reduce the draconian investigative powers enjoyed by HRC investigators.
