I hope it's not true!

I'm not one of those people that thinks Canada is immune to bad things happening in the rest of the world. What I am, is amazed people are willing to kill for ANY reason, and almost always say it's a "religious" thing.

I've always said that if you want to come to Canada, work hard and get along, then welcome! But why can't people just enjoy life, and leave others alone? Why do people think what they say has more importance(or more impact) than what I feel myself?? Why am I force fed ideas that I may not believe, and when I say "That's not how I feel" I'm made to feel like I'm wrong??

This comes to my problem, why do people come here, sometimes for years, with the only thought in there mind is to kill people to get their point across? We, as a wealthy Country are duty bound to help when we need to. Whether it be an uprising, civil war, or a natural disaster ..... We will always lend a hand, just ask us! Why oh why then are we judged by our friends, and grouped in because of our proximity to our closest ally?? Don't judge me by my friends, judge me only when you know me.

To say I'm mildy dumbfounded by the recent arrest of a group of people intent on killing innocent people to "get a point across"is an understatement. I can't remember ever wanting to kill somebody because of their beliefs, and I can't understand why people would do this. I guess maybe I'm a silly little Canadian that figures everybody should get along, or maybe people should worry about themselves. What I'm not is blind, it's time for our government to step up and make getting into this Country a little harder. Fingerprint anybody coming in, commit a crime and we get a fingerprint off a weapon? You lose your landed immigrant and are deported immediately, NO APPEALS!

I read a little something on the weekend about a business owner from another country that was given landed immigrant status for simply "lending"the government of Canada 1/2 of the net worth of his company for something like 8-10 years. He's then given LIS and given the money back without interest. What would stop some "terrorists" from using family businesses to buy there way into Canada?? This needs to be stopped!
