CBUT hits
the target

JUST BEFORE the Gulf
War practically wiped out
all the other news, CBUT
gave the taxpayers some-
thing for their money in the
shape of a ‘‘first’’ for TV

reporting.

The unusual event was two
features on the CBC’s Six
O’Clock Evening News that gave
a vivid picture of the uncontrolled
refugee scam that is helping to
sink this country under a huge
wave of unwanted immigration.

As T’ve told you before, the
refugee figures put out by Ottawa
are cooked. Lies are the order of
the day, illiterates are pouring in
like so many locusts, and we are
well on our way to becoming a
cultural goulash. But it’s one
thing to read about it and another
to see the sources on the box.

Here are a few examples.

West Vancouver’s Charles
Campbell, former vice-chairman
of the old Refugee Appeal Board:

‘*Mr. Gordon Fairweather, with
the support of the minister is
deceiving the Canadian public and
members of Parliament ... It’s as
simple as that. The situation is
disastrous and they don’t have the
courage to tell us what is really
happening.”’ (Fairweather heads
the new Refugee and Immigration
Board.)

Campbell again:

““Two years ago the government
repeatedly said there were 85,000
(refugee) cases. In fact, the total
was much higher — 101,000 cases
and 122,000 people.’’ The docu-
ment showing this was displayed
on the screen.

Crawford McLean, former head
of immigration on Vancouver
Island, said that senior officials
told him to use the 85,000 figure
publicly even though they knew it
was wrong.

McLean and Bruce Howard,
another former immigration of-
ficial, explained how the refugee
screening process has been gutted.

It was once possible to turn
back obvious frauds at the points
of entry. No longer. Charter of
Rights, you know. And damn the
consequences to the country. The
phoneys cannot even be cross-
examined.

The first-stage ‘‘hearing," is in
fact no longer a hearins. People
simply fill out a form. Meanwhile,
the McDougall woman, our im-
migration minister, told the inter-
viewer without blushing that the
new process is efficient!

Know-nothing reporters fre-
quently refer to our ‘‘tough new
refugee laws’’ — laws introduced
after the public outrage over the
Sikh landing in Nova Scotia and

Doug
Collins

ON THE OTHER HAND

the Tamil landing in New-
foundland.

But before those laws came in,
the refugee acceptance rate was 24
per cent. It is now 78 per cent.
And deportations are largely fic-
tional. Of the frauds ordered to
20, 95 per cent just don’t bother
to leave.

There is no limit to the
McDougall bilge. The 78 per cent
figure, she said, shows that the
refugees now arriving are genuine.
Truth is, though, that they are the
same bogus breed that came in
before. The only difference is that
their path has been smoothed.

If only one member of a two-
member board says the ‘‘refugee”’
should come in, for example, in
he comes. Plus his rayriad rela-
tives. And you pay the massive
welfare bill.

This refugee program was
designed to deceive the public and

_ suck up to the ethnics. In the

meantime, the flood swells
because word has gone ‘round the
world about how daft we are.

Campbell pointed out that the
system was a mess from the start,
even though Fairweather and
McDougall were saying the op-
posite. In his annua! report,
Auditor General Kenneth Dye said
it faces collapse.

Don Devoretz has also changed
his tune. An SFU professor and
immigration consultant for the
feds, he once preached that the
new immigrants were good for the
economy. Now he says they are
not. There are too many il-
literates, especially in the family
reunification class.

As CBC reporter Mark Dailey
told News Host Kevin Evans, the
opposition parties don’t want to
know about these things. Of
course not. They are part of the
plot.

This stuff was right on target.
Couldn’t have done better myself!

Social planning group considered

NORTH VANCOUVER City
Council will consider establishing
a social planning advisory com-
mittee to improve the city’s link
with the community and to im-
prove the city’s responsiveness to
community needs.

Having a committee to which
residents could address their con-
cerns would be more comfortable
for some and allow greater com-
munity input to council, Ald.
John Braithwaite said as he in-
troduced the motion.

This advisory body could have
an impact on council that reflects
the community, he added.

“This municipality is ready for
this committee,’’ agreed Ald. Bill
Bell, citing the confusion over the

NORTH VANCOUVER
CITY COUNCIL

number of xagencies deating with
recent youth issues.

Suggesting that such a commit-
tee could be 2 catalyst for pro-
active rather than reactive action
by council, Ald. Barbara Perrault
also supported the motion,

Braithwaite’s motion, passed
unanimously by council Jan. 21,
asked for a report from the city’s
social planning staff that would
examine the potential benefits of
the committee and recommend an
appropriate model for implemen-
tation.
