Lots of new immigration propositions!! Thoughts?

Some ideas quoted from the article:

"Sometimes we have foreigners who do not have a criminal conviction and are therefore not strictly inadmissible to Canada under our current law, but who, for example, may have a long track record of promoting violence or hatred against vulnerable groups," Kenney said, giving the example of an imam who calls for the execution of gays and lesbians, justifies domestic abuse and makes anti-Semitic remarks"

"A five-year inadmissibility period for lying on immigration applications."

"The proposed law would also take away humanitarian and compassionate grounds as factors in appealing a decision that someone is inadmissible to Canada and would mean the public safety minister would be able to consider only national security and public safety in deciding whether someone can become Canadian."

Some things I agree with.. like deporting people who commit crimes.
This is the proposed change that I think is the worst:
"A rule that would deny entry to Canada to those with a family member inadmissible for security and human rights reasons or organized crime connections, even if that family member isn't travelling with them."

'Sweeping powers' eh? Isn't that doublespeak for dictatorship?

Anyone whose ideas contradict those of the Fascist Necons running Ottawa won't be allowed into the country

Sounds a lot like Germany circa 1932

Only a matter of time before citizens who disagree get rounded up and put into camps

Come on...that's just hyperbole.

It wouldn't matter, IMHO, who is in power. Liberals, NDP, whomever...they all suck.

It's like in the US where they say they have a two-party system...we all know that's not true...it's one party controlling everything...BUT, I rather live in Canada or the US than a country like China...
