Just annother in many stories to date and many more to come in regards the liberals using immigration to destroy what Canada has been and is.
This story was linked from the Drudgereport and contains some inside comments from Joe Volpe our esteemed immigration minister:
"OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadians can put away those extra welcome mats -- it seems Americans unhappy about the result of last November's presidential election have decided to stay at home after all.
In the days after President Bush' won a second term, the number of U.S. citizens visiting Canada's main immigration Web site shot up sixfold, prompting speculation that unhappy Democrats would flock north.
But official statistics show the number of Americans actually applying to live permanently in Canada fell in the six months after the election.
On the face of it this is not good news -- Canada is one of the few major nations seeking to attract immigrants -- but Immigration Minister Joe Volpe was philosophical.
"We'll take talent from wherever it is resident in the world. I was absolutely elated to see the number of hits and then my staff said 'You know what? A hit on the Internet is after all just a hit'," he told Reuters on Thursday.
"I guess I'm happy Republicans and Democrats have found a way to live together in peace and in harmony," he said.
Canada generally tilts more to the social and political left than the United States.
Data from the main Canadian processing center in Buffalo, NY shows that in the six months up to the U.S. election there were 16,266 applications from people seeking to live in Canada, a figure that fell to 14,666 for the half year after the vote.
A spokeswoman for Canada's federal immigration ministry declined to speculate on the reasons for the drop.
Toby Condliffe, who heads the Canadian chapter of Democrats Abroad, did have an explanation of sorts.
"I can only assume the Americans who checked out the Web site subsequently checked out our winter temperatures and further took note that the National Hockey League was being locked out and had second thoughts," he told Reuters.
Last year, Canada, which has a population of about 32 million, accepted 235,808 immigrants from all over the world.
Gee how this country has fallen... they will take anybody but have no interest in developing a lot of the people that are already here. The backstabbers!!
It is time for Canada to swing right.

MacLean’s magazine: Liberal propaganda; part 1.
by Brian Walsh
MacLean’s magazine dated August 1, 2005, a publication ultimately owned by the Roger’s Media conglomerate and past employer of John Tory arrives at my home with the mistaken impression that I am a subscriber.
Well a past room-mate was apparently but that likely had more to do with his working for Rogers Inc., than his caring about MacLean’s magazine as a source of entertainment nor enlightenment.
Anyways… looking inside I find early on while ambling towards page 10, an anti-Harper cartoon, showing a cloud over his head as he embarks on his cross country tour for the summer. This is the same magazine that John Tory’s prior employer owns and for which the so called Progressive Conservative’s views could be associated.
Then only on to page 12, I find a small blurb about gay marriage in a section called mysteriously ‘UPFRONT.’ For some strange reason despite all the controversy in Canada about this legislation… the very short blurb mentions that Canada becomes only the fourth country in the world to recognize gay marriage.
On a more positive note I see an article about the resurgence in the economy in Bratislava in Slovakia which with it’s 19 percent flat tax on everything… is destined in a few years to home to more automobile manufacturing per capita than any other country on earth.
On page 32 I see a good quote, which makes we wonder why liberals push immigration so strongly and cheer so much when foreign auto-makers setup shop in Canada. Martin Bruncko an advisor to Slovak Finance Minister Ivan Miklos: “Probably we’ll stay competitive for the next 10 years. But in the long term, it may not be sustainable. Countries will be successful because they create innovative value, rather than cheaply producing goods created elsewhere.”
A story on population growth on page 34 says that the increase in Canada’s population is from immigration, not procreation. It goes on to state that Canada’s fertility rate is 1.53 per cent while a fertility rate of 2.1 percent is needed to maintain a countries population. The article does not mention any downfalls of using immigration as a method to shore up a countries population nor whether Canada must do something to reverse the declining birth rate. More Liberal wrong headedness.
On page 37, it appears that MacLean’s is looking for not one but three editor’s, so be sure to tell your liberal friends about it. I know they don’t hire conservatives there that is for sure.
Jim Dinning called the heir apparent to Ralph Klein in Alberta says on page 38, “Alberta is now too important to Canada’s economy to be ignored. Alberta doesn’t want out, it want’s in.” While that may be true, with Liberals running Ottawa, I think they still want out.
Tomorrow will continue with part II...

Bush installs Bolton at UN
President Bush taking a lesson from hard-core socialists and communists installed Bolton as the US rep at the UN. Did this statement scare you? It needened be because Bolton was by far the best choice to voice America's growing concern with the corruption and incompetence at the UN. Bolton a no nonsense kind of guy will get the UN cleaned up.
Sadly, Bush had to take lessons from his hard-liner socialistic critics in order to get Bolton into the position. Not that Democrats or Liberals (up in Canada here...), are above doing what they want when they have the power to do it without regard for the views of the opposition. We are in a time when this has become the norm and Mr. Bush must be prepared to do the same in order to install John Roberts onto the supreme court.
As a conservative you know you are doing the right thing when your opposition hates what you are doing... witness today's Toronto Star story as an example of the bleating and bawling by the left at the very thought on Bolton going to the UN to kick some ass.
Next we need somebody like Roberts at the Supreme court and hopefully their will be as many as two more nominees to fill during the remainder of Bush's term. I can only hope that is the case.
