At a time when the entire General Motors work force faces massive layoffs, long-service men in GM's Oshawa operations fear they will lose their jobs to women and members of visible minorities. I don't want my two sons to grow up and find themselves at the back of every job queue just because they are white and male. Many of these workers feel that the NDP has sold out their interests to cater to strident feminists, visible minorities and native groups. Quite reasonably they do not see why they should have to continue to fund and support a party that works directly contrary to their interests and those of their children. The rebellion is spreading to other locals, as well.
Somalian community are sending welfare payments to support feuding warlords, community leaders say.
Immigration and welfare officials are probing allegations some Somalians with multiple welfare claims are sending home funds to buy arms and weapons for the warlords. There are an estimated 35,000 Somalians living in the Metro area. Most are refugee claimants receiving welfare payments. When Canada is facing its biggest debt crisis ever and when all levels of government are warning of major spending cuts just to keep our financial heads above water, permitting tens of thousands of illegals to live off our already over-strained welfare system is an utter betrayal of taxpayers' trust. The large number of Somalis on welfare is not just a Toronto problem.
