The government of T&T did not have the same luxury of time. Their decision was driven by - in the AG's own words - a need to avoid possible diplomatic jeopardy between this country and Canada, and then of course, the thing that gives us all pause, the worrisome allegations of child abuse. For me, things are further complicated by the fact that the province from which they first fled is energetically acquiring a well-deserved reputation for bigotry and intolerance of immigrants who resist being bleached down to the monochromatic desolation which characterises this place. In addition, the area in which this group settled has a long history of anti-Semitic sentiment and action. Believe me, for my own peace of mind, I would have preferred to have been able to rush to judgement and move on but I cannot dismiss what I know about this environment. The various manifestations of Quebec's intolerance have been well documented in articles available on the Internet. Perhaps I will compile a few and post in the near future. I hope that all Canadian children, including those in foster care, are safe tonight.<br />BlessingsGuanaguanarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633889363662650322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22112793.post-79781573450134862792014-03-09T14:46:47.376-04:002014-03-09T14:46:47.376-04:00These people are a cult, their leader wrongfully g...These people are a cult, their leader wrongfully given refugee status in Canada. <br /><br />If settled, as intended, in Guatemala, they might well end up like the people of Jonestown. <br /><br />Only hope Canadian authorities will do better for the children in future than in the past.Kitabwallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997394121610953371noreply@blogger.com
