Its unemployment rate is lower than the States' and its immigration policies are among the most strict in the world. And, if global competition means we are competing with Third World workers for scarce jobs, why is it that once they land in Canada they are no longer competition for these scarce jobs? There might be a case for taking in immigrants with money, but there is no reason for immigrants with none. Taking in immigrants with no money and little or no skills, and who can't speak English, only adds another mouth to feed without increasing the productivity of the country. Only when immigrants add to the productivity of the country do they add to the economic betterment of the country. Just stepping off the plane doesn't make you productive. And with the "official" unemployment rate around 10 per cent, we owe it to Canadians to find Canadians jobs before we even think of letting in another immigrant.

However, he has mellowed a bit in the last couple of years, he's been seen joking around with Kids in the Hall's in-your-face homosexual Scott Thompson, and is a big supporter of Canada's Women's Olympic Hockey Team (which, it is no secret, has its share of lesbians). Nonetheless, Don Cherry supports them with all his heart because they are Canadian and they are hockey players. It is also the result of his wife's support for the team (unfortunately, Mr. Cherry's wife, Rose, died of cancer last year.) Yet, Don Cherry consistently calls it as he sees it, and he is still a big supporter of fighting in the NHL. This week in his column which runs in the Vancouver Province newspaper, he was commenting on how disgraced hockey man, lawyer, and now inmate, Alan Eagleson didn't really want to watch Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday and listen to Don's views on Mr. Eagleson's recent conviction. It seems, Mr. Cherry tells us, that Eagleson wasn't the only one in the prison who didn't want to watch hockey that night. Apparently, because there are so many recent Third World immigrants and refugees in that prison, the inmates don't watch Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday nights, they have different viewing habits, and don't pay attention to Canadian tradition. So Mr. Cherry concludes that Canada's immigration policies are turning us into "the garbage can of the world." And Don is right. And although Don has a weird way of making this point, and although I don't care if they do or don't watch hockey, I think we would all rather they weren't in prison to begin with. Of course, not all immigrants are criminals, but perhaps we could pick them better, or, as Don might say, do a better job of drafting them.

This time it is trying to stop Canadian "Nazi-hunter" Ruth Birn from being published with Norman Finkelstein, an outspoken critic of Israel. "Publish...but don't publish with somebody who's loathed and despised by the Jewish community," says Bernie Farber of the CJC. So, is the CJC the "Jewish community"? And when does loathing and despising become hate? Just because a Jew criticizes the state of Israel and is labeled an anti-Zionist, does that make them anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish? Perhaps it is because Prof. Finkelstein refers to the"Holocaust-studies industry" as just that, used to divert attention from the repressive policies of Israel. Perhaps it doesn't help that Mr. Finkelstein says the Holocaust has been "seized upon and methodically marketed because it was politically expedient." Of course, the CJC and Bernie Farber don't believe in freedom of expression or thought, so it is natural for them to want to silence views they don't like. Only this time they are going after one of their own. What heroes! What cowards.

I was at a party recently and I talked to a Cambodian in his early twenties. He came to Canada in his early teens, but has gone back and visited since. Sure, he says he doesn't miss the violence of "back home" yet he has an AK47 here and back in Cambodia. He also brags about being in a gang here in Canada. He has the tattoos and the scars to prove he has lived a violent life. Now, I don't know too many of us who could grow up in a place like Cambodia and not have violent tendencies, but although he likes Canada for its peace, he has no problems with disturbing that peace with his gang activities. At some point he and his friends are going to have to make a choice between the Canadian way and the Cambodian way. I only hope his way doesn't become the Canadian way.

He said he wasn't American, and as far as he was concerned Clinton could do whatever he wanted. He said, "I don't care if he screws up that country or if he fucks Al Gore." I thought about it, and he's right, who gives a shit?
