The Province Gets it Half Right on Illegal Alien
The editorial board at the Vancouver Province get it at least half right, when it comes to the case of illegal alien Labair Singh. Allowing protestors to block the deportation of Singh as a shameful and spineless capitulation to the mob. However, just as surely, it was – at least in part – a product of the climate of anti-police hysteria that the Province and its confederates in the media have stoked and fed.
Realistically, how many border services officials or politicians are really going to take the risk of using force of any kind against a crowd of largely foreign-born protestors at the Vancouver Airport after what happened two months ago? One can only imagine what the Province editorial board and many of the other spineless and hysterical little girls in the Vancouver-area media would have had to say if one of the members of the mob had gotten their teeth knocked out or whatever else.
Moreover, the Province –and others – endorse the pathetic idea that the stroke that Singh had after he came to Canada is a reason why we ought to allow him to stay here. That’s about as illogical as granting clemency to a parricide on the grounds that he’s now an orphan. Only a soft-minded Canadian liberal could argue that the fact that a now-paralyzed criminal alien will require extensive medical care at public expense is a reason for allow them to stay. If you feel so bad for the guy, then you pay for him – but don’t volunteer my wallet.
In any case, the whole notion of “refugees” from India to Canada is absurd. India is a democracy and an ally. Why are we even considering any claims originating from there at all? Ditto Mexico which, somehow, is apparently the top source of “refugees” to Canada.
Lord, for leaders with some common sense. It wasn’t so long ago when the lawful authorities would have known exactly what to do to a mob whose avowed aim was to obstruct the execution of the duties of servants of the Queen.

The community is paying for his medical expenses, you jackass. Again, do a bit of research. In fact, READ the opinion piece you linked. "The B.C. Sikh community has pledged to provide the resources for his future care."
My goodness, is it hard being wrong all the time?
