| War criminals missing in Canada |
| 2003-07-26 |
| from the CBC who in turn cited The National Post newspaper... Ontario police [I’m assuming they mean the Ontario Provincial Police] want Ottawa to release the names and photos of dozens of war criminals that went missing while awaiting deportation from Canada. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has lost track of 59 [59?!?!?] war criminals, including a Lebanese murderer wanted for crimes against humanity and a Kashmiri militant considered armed and dangerous. The individuals were ordered to report to immigration offices for deportation, but none showed up. Big surprise there. While the ministry has admitted it has lost track of these individuals, it has refused to release their names and photographs, even to police. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has maintained that the Privacy Act prohibits the government from releasing anything more than the criminals’ nationalities, marital status, height, weight and eye colour. Ontario’s Minister of Public Security, Bob Runciman, is considering taking Ottawa to court unless it reverses its stance on the issue. Canada’s a big country.. keep searching boys. |

| #3 59? FIFTY NINE????? CRIKEY and i bet they are all islamofascists otherwise there wouldn't be a big fuss about releasing photos and names. We wouldn't want to stir up racism now would we? |

| #2 "...the Privacy Act prohibits the government from releasing anything more than the criminals’ nationalities, marital status, height, weight and eye colour." Nothing that might help find them, in other words. Typical. |

| #1 Typical - these guys broke all sorts of laws prior to/and during their immigration (you can bet they said they never did nuthin' wrong, nossir, on their entry to the great white north) but all the libs can wring their hands about are privacy impacts |
