Canada has signed many international treaties that accept migration and immigration of all people to be a right and not a privilege. Almost all of our ancestors were immigrants. Yet now we look down upon today's immigrants and deny them the same opportunities our great grandparents had. I think this is a bit shameful and unethical. Even if they create a temporary tax burden, I think skilled and educated immigrants should be granted admission and given one year to prove themselves - sort of "probationary immigration" I guess I would call it. If after one year they cannot be self-sustaining and productive to society, and able to speak English or France, they can be shown the door. My guess is that 80% of these immigrants have value to Canada - even if it is taking the unwanted jobs the rest of us reject. Canada cannot grow to its maximum potential without more people. Just my opinion.

How was it "proven" she didn't fall? What if another party threw her off the balcony and not Patrick? I never believed the guy killed his wife and after Taber recanted, I suspected there was some political maneuvering behind the scenes to make sure a new trial wasn't granted. Point number six of the OP makes a lot of sense to me. What legitimate reason could anyone have not to let the guy take a polygraph exam? If he passed then I think a full blown investigation is warranted. If Patrick did not kill his wife most people would just assume he was guilty of the corruption and not feel any compassion for him. Too many people jump to the easiest conclusion possible I think. If that sushi bar conversation really took place then the lawyer and the witnessed should be ordered by a court to be deposed and take a polygraph exam as well. Also, how is dating more than one woman a crime? Putting a guy in prison for this is R I D I C U L O U S. May as well lock up half of every single men and women now on the dating scene!

I never can rationalize nor condone consumer fraud. Volkswagen should ordered to donate $10 million to the Salvation Army or get out of a Province (say Ontario) for a year. This is the only way to get their attention and avoid similar scams in the future.

It appears that the union has proven its value to the working class. I sense a lot of people are envious here. But instead of bashing the teachers maybe we should be pushing and supporting unions in other industries as well?
