With our health care system in trouble across Canada, the knuckle heads, who are running the show here have now publically announced that since January of 2002 we have allowed over 2,500 immigrants with HIV into our country.
It seems that some mouthpiece from Citizenship and Immigration by the name of Lorraine Lavalee has stated that when compared to the actual number of over 1 million total new immigrants that have been accepted here in the same time frame, the number of HIV infected immigrants is very small. Now that may somewhat just be the case, since I am pretty sure that comparatively speaking we have legally opened our arms in welcome to many terrorists and murderers into our safe haven of Canada than HIV sufferers. But it’s their financial justification that raises my BP 40 points. It seems that the government contends that the cost of treating them is not a burden on our health system. Let me see. According to official sources, it costs about 1,100 dollars a month to treat an HIV sufferer (in 2003 dollars), which, give or take a few bucks, means about 13,000 dollars a year for each one. Multiply that by 2,500 and you get my drift. This small meaningless expenditure by the goodhearted taxpayers of our good intentioned but financially sinking land of the formerly plenty costs us over 32 million bucks a year. Why don't these dill holes justify this kind of spending to the family of those who have died here because the line ups and long delays for certain testing and treatments of serious illnesses are backlogged for over a year at times.
Speaking of immigration, did you hear that a certain Mr. Orlando Cascante, a refugee claimant from Costa Rica is being given another shot at the can in calling Canada his home? It seems that officials may not have given the homosexual, HIV-positive transvestite a fair and legal hearing last year when he was denied refugee status here. Now as charming as this potential future Liberal back bencher may sound, it seems that his argument against going home to Costa Rica is that he may be treated badly in his homeland. I only have one piece of advice to give to the unfortunate but naïve Mr. Cascante and that is life for any gay, transvestite HIV sufferer isn't going to be a cake walk no matter where you hang your panties.
I see that former New Mexico governor Big Bill Richardson has given his seal of approval on Barack Obama for the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. The reason that so many people feel that his approval is so important is that it'll sway many Hispanics to vote for the African American Obama. Hate to burst your bubble guys, but the hate between Latino's and Blacks in the US is so intense and deep rooted that it will take nothing short of the endorsement of the Frito Bandito to sway the Hispanic vote to the Senator from Illinois.
Several times a week I go on the net or go to several international news services, scan many a paper and periodical and watch the local news to find items which I believe deserve to be disturbing enough to be mentioned here in my column. Every subject has touched a nerve in me on some level, but few have infuriated me as much as this next item. As much as I love my birth place of Toronto, it truly isn't the city of my youth. Crime is the most horrific poison that exists in our society today and much of the ills of our society such as drugs, violence and abuse are tied to a society infrastructure that is incapable to properly combat it. One of last glimmers of hope are the good men and women of the Toronto Police who do their utmost to protect and serve us in these times of extreme liberalism and the evolvement of a judicial system that protects the rights of the criminal without, in many cases, offering such a luxury to not only the innocent victims of crime but also to the people on the job that protect our citizens. This week an item appeared in a local paper that highlights the above problem in a clarity that I have seldom witnessed in my journalistic career.
Ontario Justice Carol Brewer this week handed down her written ruling and dismissed criminal charges against a citizen by the name of Fitzroy Osbourne who was charged last year for causing a disturbance and for striking a female police officer who had stopped to talk to Mr. Osbourne. It seems that Officer Judy Grant, of the Toronto Police Services, was subjected to an obscenity laced tirade from Osbourne and attempted to detain him to explain his erratic actions. In the confrontation that followed, Osbourne struck the offending officer with a punch to the female officer's chest. Justice Brewer ruled that the accused was within his rights to do so to the officer who he claimed unjustifiably detained him and in doing so opened a Pandora's Box that will effectively put handcuffs not on the deserving scumbag criminals but on the wrists of the police that have to bravely combat open warfare crime on the streets. Brewer is a poster person for everything that is wrong in this once safe and beautiful city of ours. Can you imagine what long term implications her misguided ruling may affect policing in this city with the ever growing crime statistics? May I be the first to apologize to Officer Grant and tell her not to be offended by such a disgusting ruling by another member of an entrenched left wing judicial system whose actions not only negatively interfere with the polices ability to handle crime, but puts every officer in even more danger in the pursuit and apprehension of such scumbag potential criminals. Justice Brewer, you may never see this column but believe me with your injudicious ruling of last week, you did as much to effectively aid crime as the gun in a murderer’s belt or the bags of dope in the pockets of a drug dealer. You should be ashamed.
