mikedavid00 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 her handlers screwed up big time That is likely what happened. Wai is in immigrant. They tend to live in their own ethnic bubbles and she probable knows nothing about air india and the people involved. Her handlers and people around her knew what was up I'm sure. I highly doubt it will cost her any votes. She's an immigrant female and they are allowed to make as many mistakes as they like in Canada and get a free pass no matter what they do here.

Harry Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) It will cost Wai any chance she had of winning the seat. Also the NDP is running Meena Wong, a Chinese Canadian as well, which will draw some of the Chinese vote. Edited April 25, 2011 by Harry Quote

Wai is a passionate volunteer. She was the President of the Strathcona Community Centre Association, served on the YWCA and Mennonite Central Committee of B.C.

mikedavid00 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 It will cost Wai any chance she had of winning the seat. Explain why. People are voting to prevent tax increases. You think they give a damn about a CBC created scandal involving south asians? You think the immigrants in that riding are sitting there saying in their languages "oh my, she showed up at a school and a known sikh terrorist (who is walking free in Canada) is there so we better vote for higher taxes and the NDP? Think of what you guys are saying. The immigrants DON'T CARE if she kills puppies and kittens. They don't want new taxes and if they fancy the conservatives, they are NOT going to change their vote over some guy in a turban. Immigrants DON'T CARE at all about this issue and it will not effect their vote at all. Only the CBC cares about this issue. We are talking about alien, alien immigrants who don't speak English, and don't give a damn about air india or Wai Young or Canada for that matter. Don't over think this issue.

Wild Bill Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Or Dosanjh's handlers succeeded big time! All's fair in love and politics, after all. Didn't want to touch this one, eh Rick or Harry?

Rick Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Didn't want to touch this one, eh Rick or Harry? What's there to touch other than to help you adjust your reynolds wrap hat...You're giving Dosanjh's camp far too much credit if you honestly believe that. Quote “This is all about who you represent,” Mr. Dewar (NDP) said. “We’re (NDP) talking about representing the interests of working people and everyday Canadians and they [the Conservatives] are about representing the fund managers who come in and fleece our companies and our country.

Handsome Rob Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Did Dosanjh seek or choose to associate himself with Malik in order to gain support? No. If Malik has now chosen to switch to support Dosanjh then that is his choice and has no bearing on Dosanjh's campaign. Personally I want both of them to lose so either way it's a win win situation for the party which I am supporting. That said, the fact remains that Harper has now had multiple candidates either directly involved with supporting terrorism or associating themselves with terrorist sympathizers. Really? "...they have no place in this party..." = The above? It's a screw-up par excellence to be certain. But you draw this conclusion? BTW, good to know you only care if a Tory does it. Liberals are A-OK.

If it were a one off event you might be able to excuse it as a screw up but when you have a known terrorist supporter actually running and approved by Harper himself as a candidate for the Conservative party...It's fairly obvious. Harper and the Conservatives clearly support terrorist sympathizers..well at least they do as long as they're Conservative supporters.

Pliny Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Malik has now switched to back Dosanjh because of Harper's comments. But you have no criticism of this whatsoever? There is no hypocrisy here whatsoever? I don't think Malik ever supported Young. He didn't have to "switch". He and Dosanjh are pals. Peas in a pod... you know.

Scotty Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Oh I've mentioned it. I started a thread on it but the Harperites were suprisingly silent or muzzled in their response I know..shocking isn't it... Oh yeah. Shocking that Harper banned all fund raising for the Tamil Tigers and put them on the terrorist list - despite the fierce opposition of the Liberals and NDP.

Scotty Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Wai Young won't even speak about her private meeting with Malik, and she was absent from an all candidate's meeting today - she is finished. Ignatieff won't even speak about his private interview with Sukhminder Hansra. He is finished, and will now have to leave the country...

Rick Posted April 25, 2011 Report Posted April 25, 2011 Oh yeah.

The Liberals and NDP aren't making any comments because they don't want to be seen as opposing the Tamil Tigers for fear it costs them votes. Also, if they remark on it someone in the press is liable to ask them "So, does your party now agree with the Tigers being on the terrorist list and that fundraising should be illegal?" And neither Layton nor Ignatief wants to get a question like that.

Harry Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Yea, like Wai Young is some 'wet behind the ears' innocent victim, eh! Anyway she's done, like dinner. Maybe Wai Young will now end up coming third as she has had the wind taken out of her sails. NDP candidate Meena Wong wins support from architect David WongDavid Wong explains why he's backing Meena Wong in Vancouver South. In the past, Wong has supported candidates of different parties, though he has been quite critical of Wai Young, the Conservative running in Vancouver South. Wong, a resident of the riding, added that his 18-year-old son Colten cast his first ballot for Meena Wong in an advance poll. "He's a virgin voter," Wong quipped. When asked why he was supporting the NDP candidate, Colten Wong replied: "She's the voice of the Chinese Canadian community."David Wong has been involved in numerous community activities over the years, including putting pressure on the federal government to acknowledge past injustices to head-tax payers, supporting arts and culture, and helping to preserve trees at the Fraserview Golf Course. "I'm completely elated," Meena Wong said of the endorsement. "I've known David through arts and culture and promoting equal rights of Chinese Canadians in Canadian society." The endorsement came after the 86th anniversary dinner of the Ming Sun Benevolent Society at Floata Restaurant. http://www.straight.com/article-388942/vancouver/ndp-candidate-meena-wong-wins-support-architect-david-wong Edited April 25, 2011 by Harry Quote
Harry Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 It's unbelievable what kind of candidates are running in some of the ridings for the Conservatives. Ok it'a a lock now for Dosanjh - he is going to win big, and this might negatively effect the Conservative vote in other ridings in BC. No 'Wai' we'll vote Young: Tory candidate's familyControversy is again circling Vancouver South Conservative candidate Wai Young, as details emerge that estranged family members have launched three separate lawsuits against her. None of the candidate's nine family members living in her riding will be voting for her, according to sister Wai Ling Siu, and court documents show five of her six siblings are suing her over issues involving her deceased father's estate. Young could not be reached for comment; the candidate has shied away from media attention since Friday, when news broke she had received a politically toxic endorsement from Ripudaman Singh Malik, a man acquitted in the Air India bombing. http://www.ctvbc.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20110425/bc_wai_young_folo_110425/20110425?hub=BritishColumbiaHome Quote
mikedavid00 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 The Liberals and NDP aren't making any comments because they don't want to be seen as opposing the Tamil Tigers for fear it costs them votes. Exactly. Immigrants are pretty much the NDP and Liberals support base (factual number based statement). But this also includes the bad apples that have ties to terrorism. Don't forget how the NDP hired Arars wife in a salaried position while Arar was being detained and Canada knew little about him except that the RCMP was following him due to ties with the Islamic Brother Hood (which he had and told the Syrian authorities about but that's another story). The NDP has had a long past of being 'friendly' and keeping ties with terrorists and their sympathisers. Again I can't stress enough - 3rd world things happen here in Canada. We are not a Norway, UK, Sweden, USA. We are more like a Pakistan laced with political games and corruption. Making friends with terrorist groups for votes. Very, very third world style.

He was just a brown guy that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think that whole thing cost the Canadian government a whole lot of money. They would have been better off to listen to the NDP. That is the case most time anyway though. Quote

And unlike Wai Young, he knew full well who and what he was before the accepted the interview. Didn't they try to arrest Malik in India? Why didn't we just extradite him there? Actually remember when Bob Rae mentioned the air india bombings at the Liberal convention and then all the Sikh's there turned their support on Rae and backed Dion? Thank goodness that happened. I still fear Bob Rae and still consider him a threat to Harper.

Harry Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) This Malik is quite the boy. Malik defends support of Conservative Khalsa School founder says his group also backs Liberal candidates Malik, a Vancouver businessman who was acquitted in the Air India bombing, told the radio host that Young "promised to support the Sikh nation." "Wai Young would be better for our Sikh nation," Malik said in the interview, a copy of which was obtained by and translated for The Vancouver Sun. "She promised that she will be faithful to us -the Sikh nation." Malik also told the Sher-E-Punjab host that his group is supporting Liberal candidates in Surrey: Sukh Dhaliwal for Newton-North Delta, and Shinder Purewal in Surrey North. http://www.vancouversun.com/life/Malik+defends+support+Conservative/4674143/story.html Edited April 26, 2011 by Harry Quote
AngusThermopyle Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 "Wai Young would be better for our Sikh nation," Not to change the subject but what exactly does he mean when he talks of this Sikh nation? Is he talking about their land of origin and if so how could Wai Young possibly be better for them? This isn't a facetious question, I honestly have never heard anything about "Sikh nation" before.
