Handsome Rob Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I was invited to a party last week, they were celebrating because after 6 years and $60,000 in sponsorship funds, with some working 3 jobs to save, grandma finally got the visa approval. But it seems it really isn't worth it to jump through all those hoops anymore, no? http://www.nationalpost.com/news/canada/Suspected+Thai+people+smuggling+ship+reported+heading+Canada/3283946/story.html Canadian authorities are monitoring a Thai cargo ship following reports it may be on its way to the British Columbia coast with more than 200 migrants on board. The MV Sun Sea was last spotted in the Gulf of Thailand, where it was the subject of a lookout issued by the Philippine Coast Guard, which called it “a suspected people-smuggling vessel.” ... The Canadian government has been keeping a watch on the Sun Sea (formerly the Harin Panich 19) since early May when, in partnership with Australia, it asked the Thai government to board two vessels allegedly preparing to ferry migrants to Canada or Australia. But a spokesman at the Thai embassy in Ottawa said he could not verify the searches ever occurred and the Sun Sea was last seen on May 17, 50 kilometres off the coast of southern Thailand, according to the Philippine Coast Guard. The Sun Sea is roughly the same size as the Ocean Lady, a ship that arrived off the B.C. coast last October carrying 76 Sri Lankan migrants. All were released from custody and most made their way to Toronto, the hub of Canada’s large Sri Lankan Tamil community. Since then, rumours have swirled in Toronto that more ships were on the way.

eyeball Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Canadian authorities are monitoring a Thai cargo ship following reports it may be on its way to the British Columbia coast with more than 200 migrants on board. This is certainly the time of year to be coming. The Sun Sea would blend in quite readily with the type size and numbers of vessels stretching from the coast out halfway to Hawaii right now. Fogust will also soon be upon us. They should keep our lighthouses and install fog signals that blast out...GOOOOO HOOOOMMMMME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 I was invited to a party last week, they were celebrating because after 6 years and $60,000 in sponsorship funds, with some working 3 jobs to save, grandma finally got the visa approval.

The courts will order them all freed, and they'll be on welfare within the month and have their passports within a couple of years. Within a few months of that they'll be churning out their own passports and travel documents to sell to the gang back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
