I Sense A Pattern Here!

We have pirates and we have immigrants and we have killings of pirates and immigrants. Now this pattern is very disturbing, and something has to be done about it.

What am I talking about? The pattern of crime by a people who come here and somehow expect us to solve their problems.

We start in their "homeland", Somalia.

-A third of the population depends on food aid
-No effective government since 1991
-Islamist militia and UN-backed transitional government compete for control of country
The self-proclaimed state of Somaliland and the region of Puntland run their own affairs

Since 1991 this country has been in crisis. So, what do they do? Immigrate or become pirates. How is that working for them? Not good. Who do they blame? Canada.

It appears that some countries are taking the pirates to task, and disappearing them.

MOSCOW, Russia — Following high level complaints about "imperfections" in international law, Russia announced Tuesday that captured Somali pirates "have all died." A Russian official claimed that 10 pirates seized by Russian special forces aboard an oil tanker last week were quickly freed but then died on their way back to the Somali coast.


Live by the sword, die by the sword. We should feel sorry for the pirates because their country is in ruins, they have no government and food is in short supply, so they are only doing what they need to survive.

With the backing of Ethiopian troops, forces loyal to the interim administration seized control from the Islamists at the end of 2006.

Islamist insurgents - including the Al-Shabab group, which later declared allegiance to al-Qaeda - fought back against the government and Ethiopian forces, regaining control of most of southern Somalia by late 2008.

Ethiopia pulled its troops out in January 2009. Soon after, Al-Shabab fighters took control of Baidoa, formerly a key stronghold of the transitional government.


So, the country is in chaos. Pirates are holding private companies for ransom, and the UN is USELESS as per usual. If I lived in that country, I would try to immigrate. Some come to Canada. What do they do? It appears drugs have something to do with over 30 kids murdered in Edmonton alone. The last one was a Somali from Toronto via Somalia, in Fort Mac maybe selling drugs. I guess Muslims don't drink but drugs are okay.

Watch this video.

The guy was from Toronto, charged with selling cocaine, he goes to Fort Mac and gets killed by a rival gang, and it's Canada's fault. Edmonton's fault? How about the sister-in-law taking some responsibility for what he was doing. Why are all those Somali males dying? Do they think we are stupid? Do they think that they have no responsibility for their own people?

Finally, if immigrants come to Canada from war torn areas, they need to understand that they should leave their wars behind. I want to feel sympathetic towards the Somali people here in Edmonton, but I can't. Why have over 30 young Somali males died? Just a guess, but maybe drugs have something to do with it.

I have two young kids, and if I knew that anyone was trying to sell them drugs, I would do everything I could to get those creeps in jail. I will do anything I need to keep my kids safe. Why don't the Somali Mom's do the same thing? They want a task force? How about keeping your kids in school (it's free) so that they don't have to sell drugs. If you are a tight knit community, then you know who is selling drugs, tell the police.

I resent the fact that they come to Canada and bring their tribal wars with them. Then they expect us to solve their problems. You don't need a task force, you need to control your kids. It is not our problem. It is your culture that is the problem. I refuse to accept your culture in my country. You want to save your children? Leave your wars behind, and learn to love Canada.

You took the words right out of my mouth.And it never was more true than your last line..LEAVE YOUR WARS BEHIND in your country and don,t bring your religious wars here either.I would add keep your customs in your own homes ,but adopt Canadian customs if you are coming to Canada.And quit using Canada as a free welfare country and medical facility for all your sick lame and lazy.Come to Canada and become a contributor,not a taker.

The Somalis will end up being the worst refugee / immigrants ever to enter Canada.

I will be very surprised if they contribute anything substantial to Canada's future except religious fanaticism or gang crime. Canada is making a huge mistake taking this particular group in. Time will show this.

But your whole argument is so "race based". We "original" Canadians must adapt to all cultures not just the British Euro of our forefathers. We are in fact invaders of this land and have no rights without consultation with the originals (who have permitted us to retain out heritage). Why then can we not have new immigrants consult with the First Nations about what cultural lifestyle they can have – defend the earth so to speak?

I have looked in the mirror and seen the lefty light. Sarc off … with thanks.

All immigrants and refugees MUST view Canada in a positive light and renounce their troubled past … if they/you can’t then please return from whence you came.

The media loves to sensationalize stories.

This was not the case of a repairman and his assistant being murdered for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I disagree with the community centre or tight knit narrative being played by the media.

The individual has made choices and is responsible, where is background and his track record?

In the clip it does not talk about his past and portrays him as some innocent bystander of violence.

Again the majority of every community are not involved in criminal activity. The media need to stop framing the group responsible for the actions of a small percentage of the population.

OT, but does anyone think that the liberal plan to pay voters via a tax credit of 50.00 will get Swan elected as premier. NO.
Isn't it illegal to pay someone to vote.
