The Betrayal of Canada's Unemployed Continues Under Alberta Tories

*The Betrayal of Canada's Unemployed Continues Under Alberta Tories*

Thomas Lukaszuk, Alberta's Minister of Immigration and Employment, just
can't get foreigners into his province fast enough. His latest bright idea
is to press the Dominion Government to let the more than 30,000 short term
visa workers in the province gain landed immigrant status and bring in their
families. And don't think that the concern of him or his corporate pals is
the 7.4 per cent of Canadians who are unemployed. His goal, other than to
flood the province with immigrants, most from the Third World " is to make
sure Canadians in under-employed groups, such as First Nation and the
disabled, are 'fully engaged' in the workforce.“ So, let's see: Look out for
the Indians and the disabled, but apparently he feels little concern for the
able-bodied, mostly White unemployed.

"With another boom just around the corner, it’s time to shift away from
reliance on temporary foreign workers and concentrate on immigration, says
Thomas Lukaszuk, Alberta’s minister of immigration and employment.Lukaszuk
is ready to push the federal government to allow more immigrants from among
the 30,000 temporary workers now in the province, offering them a chance to
settle with their families.Employers facing labour shortages would also be
happy because they could keep workers they spent the last few years
training, he said. ...

'The federal government took in 280,000 new immigrants this year, the
highest number ever, and that’s great,' he said.“But that record intake
didn’t make a dent in the 360,000 temporary workers in the country. 'Since
that number has been steady in recent years, it’s clear the demand for
workers isn’t just short-term,' he said. At the height of the boom in 2006,
Alberta had more than 60,000 temporary foreign workers — the highest per
capita of any province. Many worked on oilsands projects but a lot of them
left when the economic downturn hit in December 2008." (*Edmonton Journal 17
*, July, 2011)

Those on temporary work visas can work for up to four years in Canada. A
union source tells us: "There are more than 30,000 Canadian trades’ workers
unemployed in Alberta and Canada. There are still 30,000 temporary visa
workers in Alberta and and they want to bring more." Among Alberta's 6.500
unionized electricians, nearly 3,000 are unemployed. Apparently, the last
thing Mr. Lukaszuk wants to do is entice unemployed Canadians in other
provinces or train unemployed Canadians. As always, the simple solution is
bring in more immigrants. This heartless policy also has the unfortunate
result of keeping large numbers of Canadians out of work and keeping wages
low.

Great Holocaust Trial Defence Attorney Doug Christie is Ailing

The "Battling Barrister": Canada's Doug Christie
According to his wife, Keltie writing in her June, 2011 Friends of
Freedom newsletter, 65-year-old Canadian Attorney Douglas Christie,
the fearless barrister who so ably defended Ernst Zundel in two
historic thought crime trials in Toronto in 1985 and 1988, has
“prostate cancer of an aggressive grade that has already spread
locally outside the prostate.”
Doug is one of the finest men and purest souls it has been my
privilege to know. He went far beyond being Ernst’s attorney. He
became his friend and a defender of the German people as a whole. In
the course of the two trials he had to absorb thousands of facts,
hundreds of books and dozens of maps, models and diagrams in order to
defend Ernst to the best of his ability. He spent hours in court and
then hours at night and on weekends studying with the Zundel defence
team, led by Dr. Robert Faurisson of France. A lesser man would have
been broken by the stress and the media libel. Doug relished the
challenge and stepped into history’s spotlight chasing destiny.
With the brilliant and thorough organization so typical of Mr. Zundel,
Doug’s daily after-court briefings in the basement of Zundelhaus
were preserved on video. I have included highlights of those briefings
in my documentary film, “The Great Holocaust Trial,” (not to be
confused with the book of the same name).
After the Zundel trials, Doug continued his career as “the Clarence
Darrow of Canada,” although he stands head-and-shoulders above
Darrow, who in some respects was an opportunist (Darrow’s finest
hour was his defense of Bill Heywood and the IWW in Idaho in 1907; his
nadir was the 1924 Leopold-Loeb case).
Mr. Christie went on to represent dissidents, the marginal and the
nearly defenseless. Among his most spectacular victories was the 1990
acquittal of Hungarian-Canadian restauranteur Imre Finta, who had been
arrested on trumped-up war crimes’ charges. This was a huge setback
for the same “Never Forgive” gang that on July 20, 2011, under
color of law, desecrated the grave of Rudolf Hess in Germany
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14232768 (
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14232768 )). Talmudic vengeance
knows no bounds! Doug was ably assisted in the Finta case by the
equally courageous attorney Barbara Kulaszka.
Christie defended newspaperman Doug Collins, a heroic British-Canadian
soldier who escaped ten times from German POW camps in World War II.
Mr. Collins testified for and wrote columns on behalf of Mr. Zundel.
Those columns led to his prosecution. Christie has also defended high
school English instructor Paul Fromm, fellow teacher and Christian
anti-Zionist Malcolm Ross, English anti-Talmud campaigner Lady Jane
Birdwood, Internet activist Bernard Klatt, Marc Lemire, and dozens of
other indigent and media-libelled victims of the new inquisition.
The Zionist lobby has had Mr. Christie in its sights for more than a
quarter-century, but his record for probity was so impeccable they
could find no pretext by which they could disbar or financially
cripple him until 2007, when they were able to exploit a minor
procedural technicality related to a law pertaining to “subpoena for
documents.” The Law Society of masonic Canada ruled that this most
honorable of all Canadian lawyers, in “improperly” processing the
documents had been “dishonorable.” He was fined $20,000. He could
not be disbarred on that basis alone however, and he continued his law
practice.
Doug has given his life to the nearly thankless task of fighting for
the free speech rights of everyone from Indian Chief David Ahenakew to
a coterie of Christians, Germans, East Europeans, revisionists,
skeptics and individualists who refused to be commissared.

He has continued to press for justice in the case of Jeff Hughes, a
confused and possibly mentally ill unarmed skinhead who was shot to
death in 2009 by Canada’s “Mounties” for no discernible reason
other than his politics. A case like this does nothing to burnish
Christie’s career or fill his wallet. At the risk of sounding
maudlin, Doug did it out of love for the memory of this young man who
he met once and only briefly at the George Orwell Awards Dinner, which
he and his wife host annually in British Columbia. Doug Christie is a
traditional Catholic who cares more about living the Gospel than
talking about it. The cause of justice for Jeff Hughes is but one
example of his Christ-like conduct.
While I do not speak for or represent Ernst Zundel, I will venture to
say that if he were not under a de facto gag order in Germany and
barred from traveling in the US and Canada, he would use that
organizational genius of his to put together an international
testimonial dinner for Doug which would be attended by hundreds. There
is no one like Ernst on the scene today, but that is no excuse for us
to fail to express our gratitude to Mr. Christie for his life of
sacrifice and idealism.
Send him a get well card of encouragement and appreciation:
Mr. Douglas Christie
Box 101
255 Menzies Street
Victoria, BC V8V 2G6
Canada

[I have slightly edited Mr. Hoffman's excellent summary and entirely
endorse sending cards and notes of prayerful support and solidarity to
Doug in this difficult time. -- Paul Fromm, Director, Canadian
Association for Free Expression]
