"What recently happened to its director, Paul Fromm, is typical of what happens when a Canadian takes a stance against immigration/refugee practices." -Diane Francis Aug 24, National Post

Diane Francis was just talking about Paul Fromm being treated bad by reporters. I wonder what she will say now about this:

        Cape Breton MP condemns web site as hate crime

CBC Newsworld | Aug 24 1999  

SYDNEY - A Cape Breton member of Parliament is worried about an internet
web site that claims immigration can kill you. 

New Democrat Peter Mancini is asking Canada's solicitor general to
consider laying hate crime charges against the people behind the web
page. 

The site is the product of a group calling itself the Canada First
Immigration Reform Committee. 

       "There's a banner in bold, blood dripping letters that says
        immigration can kill you. [It says] whites will be a minority in
        Canadian cities."

It displays a banner dripping with blood claiming immigration can kill
you. Another message blames immigrants for crime. [lie???]

Mancini says this shows that poor people, visible minorities or
foreigners "are not welcome in this country because of their ethnic
background." [Boy, what a nut]

He wants the federal solicitor general to look into this site. 

The MP and long-time criminal lawyer thinks it may be breaking the
country's hate law. An official with the solicitor general's office says
Mancini's concerns have been passed on to the RCMP.

It is sad to see the level on debate has now gone so low, that these NDP types would rather just label you a "racist" and a "extremist" instead of trying to disprove anything your saying. But that does mean, WE ARE WINNING!! Once it comes to the point the only way you can win an agrement is to defame your opponent, you know your the winner.

But lets examine the timing of his release about CFIRC being "haters".

• We have seen a massive build up of resentment towards this whole immigration mess over the past few weeks
• Poll after poll coming back with huge numbers against these Chinese Illegals. Most of the time the outrage against the Chinese Illegals is up in the high 80% to low 90% range.
• There is alot of resentment in Canada to the way the government is handling the whole situation
• NDP Stooge Pat Martin from Winnipeg starts ball rolling on the "racist" kick. Calgary Herald - August 15, 1999
• "New Democratic Party immigration critic Pat Martin terms ''embarrassing'' protests against the asylum seekers last week and ''racist, hate-mongering'' reaction faxed to his office by an extremist who warned of an invasion of scamsters and criminals from China" [I guess according to him 80-90% of Canadians are "racist"also]
• "Martin says he is worried about a ''backlash of hate'' in the wake of the boat people's arrival ..."
• August 23 we start receiving massive hits from (mail.chrc.ca) The Canadian Human Rights Commission. Are they planning to harass us also?
• August 24 we receive favorable press in the National Post article on our national petition to regain control of our borders.
• August 24, NDP Peter Mancini lays complaint to have us criminally charged for under the obscure "hate law", section 319 of the Criminal Code.

But CFIRC will *NOT* be intimidated by anyone much less an NDP has been from Nova Scotia. We have just announced a new revolutionary ePOSTCARD which, directly from our site will get directly sent to all immigration critics as well as to the Minister for Immigration. And we have dozens of projects on the table, just waiting.

Dear Mr. Peter "The Censor" Mancini:

We note your complaints about our website to various authorities and your efforts to have us charged and silenced.

Why don't you READ what's on the site? Immigration -- at least poorly screened immigrants -- CAN kill you and your family. READ what we've written about the lethal effects of tuberculosis, AIDS, and hepatitis. Are you really in favour of keeping Canadians ignorant and of stifling debate as is done in such "socialist" paradises as Cuba and Red China?

As well as complain and call for censorship, I trust you can count. What part of 90% don't you understand? That, according to Diane Francis, is the number of Canadians who back deporting the latest two invasion boats of Chinese illegals. Our own study of polls find her comments convincing: 97% of readers of the VICTORIA TIMES-COLONIST supported deporting the illegals, while 85% of those responding to a C-FAX poll in Victoria felt the same way. If your party truly is "democratic" why don't you get on side and back the majority, instead of trying to shoot the messenger?

Mr. Mancini, censorship and thought control didn't work in the old USSR. They will not work here. Those of us who believe in an open debate among free men and women look at you thought-control wannabees slowly sinking into the ashcan of history.

The Ottawa Citizen | August 21, 1999

The NDP is asking for an investigation into a Toronto-based group that wants to curb the immigration of Asians and other non-white people into Canada. Winnipeg NDP MP Pat Martin says the group is promoting racial hatred on the Internet and exploiting the recent arrival of Chinese migrants in B.C. to further fuel reaction against non-white immigrants.

Mr. Martin and fellow NDP MP Peter Mancini wrote Solicitor General Lawrence MacAulay yesterday asking him to investigate the Canada First Immigration Reform Committee.

"This group is attempting to qualify Canada as a country of white, European-descended, Christian, English-speaking heterosexual people and to create an environment of fear and hatred of any Canadians or immigrants who don't fit this narrow mould," the two MPs said in a joint statement.

They noted the group's Web site, with many photographs of Asian and African Canadians, contains such phrases as "Immigration can kill you." The word "kill" is blood-red and appears as though it is dripping.

The site also graphically attempts to link Asian and other non-white immigrants to a threat of tuberculosis and other communicable diseases.

The site, and literature the group circulates in the mail, warns that current immigration patterns will swamp "white" Canadians and convert them into a minority in many cities.

There are links to groups such as the Heritage Front, which boasts its goal is to "preserve our heritage in a militantly pro-white, militantly positive sense." The site also has links to racist groups in the southern United States, which cannot be reached because a Toronto Internet server censored the connections earlier this year.

Mr. Martin accused the group of using the arrival of Chinese claiming refugee status on the B.C. coast as a "catalyst" to get support for its campaign to restrict non-white immigration to Canada.

Paul Fromm, the group's director, denied allegations the literature is intended to promote racial hatred.

Mr. Fromm said traditional values of white Canadians are threatened by the overwhelming numbers of immigrants that arrive from Asia and Africa.

"It (the literature) is intended to inspire a reaction against the politicians that are allowing this to happen," Mr. Fromm said. "We're not advocating that anybody do anything to any immigrant. This is a responsible political fight."

An aide to Mr. MacAulay said his office was reviewing the NDP request, but noted the solicitor general, while responsible for the RCMP, cannot order the federal police force to launch an investigation. An RCMP spokesman said if the group is violating Criminal Code provisions against hate literature, it would be up to a municipal or provincial police force, or RCMP divisions serving as provincial or municipal police, to investigate.

In related news, NDP leader Alexa McDonough said she is sickened and horrified by the way the federal government is treating the recently arrived Chinese children, parading them before cameras in handcuffs, wearing oversized overalls. She described federal handling of immigration and refugee policy as pathetic.

"It really calls for Canadians to not only really look within their own souls, but also it calls for some leadership from the federal government," she said. "I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach about the way in which the government deals with so many of these issues today, exploiting peoples' insecurities and fears, instead of appealing to peoples' sense of humanity."
