Immigrant parents and grandparents cost the government approximately $3 billion annually in health care
Based on data collected between 1980 and 2010,
Citizenship and Immigration estimates there were about 275,000 immigrant
parents and grandparents over 65 living in Canada in 2010 at a cost of nearly
$3 billion a year for health care. The total cost for a newcomer senior who
lives to age 85 years was cited at about $160,000. “Family sponsorship is a
privilege, not a right.” — Immigration Minister Jason Kenney

Kay on Nazanin Afshin-Jam and Aruna Papp and the scourge of misogyny in

Toronto witnessed the launch of
books by two Canadian activists. The authors were born in very different parts
of the world. Yet the crimes against women described in these books — both
excerpted on my National Post comment pages in recent days — are
strikingly similar.
What about Khadr's rights?
Gail
Davidson with Lawyers Rights Watch is in support of Omar Khadr’s return and also
believes he is due financial compensation upon his arrival. This should
make your hair stand on end.

Buys Oxford
The donors say that the
Islamic Centres of British Universities merely want to promote an understanding
of Islam, but Professor Anthony Glees, a man who has studied the rise of
Islamic extremism in our universities, suggests their real agenda is rather
different. He argues that they promote an extreme ideology and act as a form of
propaganda for the Wahhabist strain of Islam within universities.
Finland's Iranian Mega-Mosque
Although critics of the Helsinki mega-mosque have warned that the
building will be used by the Iranian regime to recruit impressionable youths to
Hezbollah, Finnish politicians have embraced the Shia mosque as a symbol of
multicultural progress.
Is Freedom Worth
Defending?
A young
Saudi imam said it a few years ago: “Your leaders want to bring your freedom to
Islamic society. We don’t want freedom. The difference between Muslims and the
West is we are controlled by God’s laws, which don’t change for 1,400 years.
Your laws change with your leaders.”
Questions Facing the
Muslim World
Many parts of the world, such as Korea, China, and India -
basically medieval kingdoms fifty or sixty years ago -- are now among the
pacesetters of the modern world, both producing, and improving on, existing
inventions. The Muslim world, however, often better off than these countries
just half a century ago, has remained as it was, or has even, in many
instances, deteriorated.
Muslim journalist, Mona Eltahawy, criticizes Islamic
practices that oppress women, gets accused of fomenting "hate"
A Muslim journalist who has never stood for freedom,
Mona Eltahawy, is learning how to become a racist, bigoted Islamophobe: dare to
criticize the human rights abuses inherent in Islamic law. “It’s not me
that makes Muslims look bad. It’s those atrocities that make Muslims look bad.
And as a writer, it’s my job to poke the painful places.”
