A capital move
Canada's First Couple -- no, not Stephen and Loreen Harper but Maher Arar and Monia Mozigh -- are planning to leave Kamloops, B.C. and move to more appropriate environs for such a prominent pair: to Ottawa, where the $11-million-man can continue his doctoral studies in wireless engineering.
The high profile couple have announced they're leaving behind a $20,000 scholarship for "social justice," to be awarded to students at Thompson Rivers University, where Mozigh has been teaching. Read the complete Province story here.

Anyone from a country which sponsors terrorism in the name of their "religion" would be wise to become a Canadian citizen. It's the security blanket they can use if they wish to travel the world taking part in covert activities.
If they get into trouble the convenient Canadian citizenship will bail them out and pay huge sums to boot. Of course if one is from Britain, like William Sampson, you can go to bloody hell and back as he did. Canada did nothing.
Are we setting up to be the haven for unsavory immigrants? You betcha.

Sure, give this guy lotsa money. In the meantime, prairie farmers get shafted by the Wheat Board to the tune of a billion dollars:
