MORE VICTIMIZATION FOR WOMEN BY THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.

THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT, RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR SPONSORED IMMIGRANT WOMEN, PUTS THEM AT RISKS FOR ABUSE.


It is no secret that both the Conservative Party and Steven Harper, Canada's Prime Minister, wants to be re-elected. What most voters do not know is that the Conservative party's policy on immigration and minorities, has also discriminated against such groups and that these policies are now within their reach to change. First they need to know what some of those policies are and then they also need to vote against them. There is also the hypocritical move of the Immigration Minister, Jason Kennedy, to woo some of those voters and to have him and his party re-elected. He has approached the very same communities that he has also openly advocated against, because of the new immigration policies that he himself has also directly influenced. And which in turn has also directly influenced those groups adversely.

One of those policies is the new sponsorship programme that puts women at risk for abuse by their spouse and also at risk for the further abuse of their general rights in Canadian society. According to the new proposal, women who are sponsored, has to remain with their spouses, for a minimum of two years, before they will also received, their full landed immigrant status. If they also happened to be in an abusive marriage, they also cannot get out of it. The new regulation will not allow them to leave their spouses, or they will be deported back to their former countries and also leave their children, behind in those cases. It is situation that greatly puts women at risk, not only for domestic abuse, but also for abuse by the government directly, who has also stated, that this situation, also protects against the practice, of fraudulent marriages, through immigration sponsorship, in that country.

It is bad enough that mothers in this country, are faced with little protection by the law. This is even further emphasized by the alarming rate at which some of those mothers, has lost custody of their children. Most of them single mothers by choice, or are newly divorced. Most people thinks that the court favours mothers, over fathers, in the custody of their children, but this is not true. Immigrant women are more at risk, for losing their children and also in facing abuse from spouses, who has also sponsored them. They are faced with staying in a marriage, that is bad for both themselves and also for their children. Men are naturally controlling and some of them, will also use this situation, to their advantage. It is wrong for the Canadian government, to put women's lives at risk, by this proposal and every women should also vote against this proposal.

It reminds me of a situation, also in Canada, where women who are coming from abusive relationships, are also faced with more abuse, in some shelters, by the staff and also because of some of the policies that are implemented by city hall. For example, women who are facing, or has faced, some kind of abuse, in the past, are often put in situations, where they have to share their living space, including a bedroom, with transgendered females, who are still physically males, in those shelters. I am caught in a dilemma here, because while I advocate for the equality rights, of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered Community, I also know, that this kind of arrangement, also do not work, for most of the women, who are forced into it. They have complained that they are harassed, by their transgendered roommates. I say this, also, because the government, will also not allow transgendered females, who wants to become fully females, to have the operation that they also needs, in order to completes this process. It is currently not covered under health insurance and so it is also out of the question for some people.

For those ones who wants to remain both, this is also okay. It is their choice to make, but it is also problem with the government, because it has also made up certain rules, that also lets them be which ever one that they also choose to be, simultaneously. That is, they can be both male and female, at the same time. Which we actually are, but not physically, that is, for most people. This is fine by itself, if women who are unfamiliar with this lifestyle, for religious, or other reasons, has to be forced into it, by sharing a bedroom, in those shelters, with transgendered females, who are also still physically males. For instance, victims of rape, or who has experienced violenced by men. All of those women that I have spoken to, who has experienced this, are also against it. They say that they also feel violated, by being watched, by those roommates, while they are being dressed, or undressed, or while they are using the bathroom, which they also share equally.

On the one hand, I cannot say, that transgendered females, are also not female, personally, because that is also how they regard themselves and this right should also be protected. On the other hand, I do not believe, that other women, who are not transgendered, should also have to be forced into a sleeping arrangement, and especially, since they are also coming, from a male abusive relationship, by also sharing a bedroom, at those Toronto shelters, with women, who are still physically males and who has still, exhibits, some of those males traits, towards those women. It is a policy that the Toronto City Council, has come up with and which is also adopted, somewhat, by the provincial government.

One of the other confusing aspects, of this situation, is that transgendered females, who are admitted into those shelters, which are also designated for women only, are still identified, on their legal documents, including, birth certificate and driver's licence, as males. Currently all Toronto shelters for women, has this practice, but epecially of note, is the YWCA Woodlawn Residence, shelter in Toronto, for women and girls, because both women and girls, coming from an abusive situation, are also subjected to this. And they are also not permitted, to expressed their views, on this issue. And as it is also the same practice, for all of those women's shelters, in the city of Toronto, or elsewhere.

The government has just conveniently gotten around this issue, by simply
ignoring the needs of women, coming directly from abusive relationships,
who are also admitted to those shelters, for women and also the
transgendered women, who also used the same shelters and also share the
same bedrooms with those other women, while being physically males.
Some of those women, simply has a problem, with sleeping in a bedroom
and against their wishes, with a complete stranger, who, although
recognized as a female, are still physically males and who also likes
to remind those other women, that they are in fact, both male and female.
This is also the problem, I am told, that some of those women has with
them. They are willing, some of them, to also accept them, as female,
but they have still exhibited their male tendencies, towards them and
especially the agressive male traits, which also has not helped them,
in dealing, with that kind of situation.

I have also seen from experience, that this government, abuses the rights of all women. Now that I have made these situations more public, people can also share their views on it, pros or con and let this government know, that, it should also protect women, in every situation. Not just to continue to exploit them, as it currently does.

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION MINISTER JASON KENNEDY, IS IN HOT WATER AGAIN.

THIS TIME OVER HIS PARTY'S FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN

Jason Kennedy is under fire, for using government letterhead, to seek
campaign contributions, from voters and not just any voters either, but
from Canada's ethnic voters. The very same people, that he has also, publicly, ostracized, from Canadian society. Kennedy now needs their votes to keep his
party, the Conservatives, in power.

Kennedy, as you can recall, was the same one, who, as the Minister of Immigration and Citizenship, also went out of his way, to alienate those very same communities, with his very openly racist attitude and policies against those same communities, yet now he is also seeking their votes, to keep himself and also the Prime Minister Steven Harper and their Conservative Party, in power.

Remeber his comments on being called a racist? Did he also deny those this?
No. He just simply added to the flame, by his views on that issues and he is now acting desperatly, to keep himself in power, by trying to woo the very same people, that he has also shown open contempt for and to also care very little about. The immediate trouble that he is in right now, centers on his campaign
tactics, which basically are unethical and also illegal. He has been asked to resign, but is still holding on to his position. Jason Kennedy has no qualms about soliciting funds, in the manner which he has, for his campaign for re-election. If he did, he would have also realized, that he was also setting a bad example, as a Minister, but then again, we are talking about Canadian politics here, where ethics are not really a top priority for anyone, anyway.

Kennedy's attempt to placate those very same ethnic voters, to fund his campaign and to also vote for him, should also fall on deaf ears, where they are also concerned.
Why would they want to keep someone like that in office anyways? Do they really think
that he is also going to keep his campaign promises and now regard them as being incusive,in Canadian society. Do you think that he will also changed any of the new policies that he has also immplemented against them as the Minister of Immigration and Citizenship? No, he will further act upon those policies, if his term is also extended and this is what he is really seeking to do. Canadian immigration policy is already exlusive for those communities anyway and with Jason Kennedy, being reelected, to continue with those same policies, is also out of the question. I am also always amazed at the attitudes of some of those same communities to also give up their rights, just to be included or integrated into Canadian society. Some of them do not even mind being treated as second class citizens and with Jason Kennedy
reelected, that is also just what they will also be getting.

Jason Kennedy's Ministry is also full of corruption and with people like himself in power. That ministry has been rocked with some titilating scandals, including sex scandal by Immigration judges and also other kinds of corrution. For example the trial of Yves Bourbornis for bribery, and all nine counts I also believed,or the corruption that is also involved with the current Immigration and Refugee Board. Speaking of the IRB, some of its adjudicators are also known to act corruptly such as Patricia Deguire, Kohler and others.

I am a liberal mineded person, obviously, so my opinions on Kennedy and his ministry will always reflect this. but I do not believed in keeping the conservatives or steven harper in power is also good for all canadians.

THE PERSECUTION OF DR. ROLAND WONG, PHYSICIAN AND ACTIVIST.

Dr. Roland Wong






Toronto Mayor, Rob Ford


ROB FORD'S CHARGES, TO THE ONTARIO COLLEGES OF
PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, AGAINST DR. WONG.
"A DOCTOR IS THERE TO BE A DOCTOR, NOT TO ADVOCATE FOR THE POOR..."


The above stiuation, was also exposed, in an article, by a Canadian doctor, Dr. Susan Rosenthal, who also wrote, about Dr. Stephen Wong, who was being persecuted, for helping welfare recipients and also, by none other person, than Rob Ford, who is now, also, the new Mayor, of Toronto. Rob Ford, is also a former convict, who was charged, with marijuana possession and drunk driving. Which would also make him, right, for a job in politics, in Canada.

Apparently, Dr. Wong's crime, in this case and also in the eyes, of Rob Ford, was to have helped, those welfare recipients, who are also in need, of a special dietary supplement, for medical reasons, and to also get the supplementary benefits, from the Ontario government, in order to meet those needs. Dr. Wong has been writing reports for them, based on their medical conditions, in order for them to continue, to get those supplementary benefits. The dietary allowance programme, also, provided those recipients, with a little bit of extra benefits, each month, but the programme has also, since, been scrapped, by the government, leaving those recipients, without funding, for those benefits. And also to continue, to maintain a more healthful living, that those dietary supplements, would have also provided.

Rob Ford, then reported Dr. Wong, to the Ontario Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, for his role in helping the welfare recipients, to get the extra dietary and supplementary, benifits, that Dr. Wong, was also required, to prescribed for those patients, who had also come to him. In Rob Ford's complaint, to the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons, he was also totally against Dr. Steven Wong, for helping those welfare recipients, charging that, "A doctor is there to be a doctor, not to advocate for the poor, you can't have people, in the medical field doing that." Was Rob Ford, really trying, to get the doctor's licence, revoked, for doing something, that was also required of him?

Rob Ford has now, since, been elected, as the new Mayor of Toronto and if he also wants to be believed, in terms, of his so called reforms, then he has also, better start changing, some of his personal views, on some of those issues, as well.

SECRET GOVERNMENT HARASSMENT USING ELECTRONIC WEAPONS.

REMOVING THE MASK. CANADA IS ALSO A REPRESSIVE REGIME.

THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT TARGETS ACTIVISTS.

Satellite technology and other forms of electronic harassment, is being used against those who denounce injustice, expressed their opinions openly and also criticizes the government and these has also replaced the former implements of torture, that has been used, to punish and to also suppress the actions of dissidents.


It is a little known fact that some Canadian activists, such as myself, are being targeted by the Canadian government, using illegal means to do so, such as electronic harassment and surveillance, with the very intention of not only disrupting the lives of such activists, but also of destroying them completely. It is a little wonder, that I am still alive, to expose this human rights abuse, to the world, considering the length that the Canadian government's police agencies, has also gone, to harass me and also attack me in other ways, because of my political beliefs and for exposing its actions concerning human rights abuse, to the rest of the world.

Carrying out electronic harassment against such activists 24 hours a day, is also a crime against humanity, and the Canadian government's recent comments about finding other nations, such as Libya, guilty of this action, is also an insult to those in that country, who are its prime targets and who has also suffered at the hands of this government. Those actions are also intended to maim and or to kill its victims. They also produce real physical symptoms of those attacks, and this is perhaps the best evidence against the Canadian government, for carrying out crimes against humanity. Victims suffer from post traumatic stress disorder, which is a medical condition, that is also brought about by those actions and they can also use this diagnosis, as evidence against those responsible for bringing this about, through those means.

My primary goal at this time to expose this horrific crime and to let others know about the hypocrisy of the Canadian government, who also pretends to be concerned about human rights, both in Canada and abroad and to let people know that this is not the truth. Being harassed in my home, especially and daily, through the use of these electronic weapons, which I also believed are orchestrated by the police, to "break me" among other things, including also " to punish" me, through the use of those "torture methods", that are not only illegal, but are also strictly forbidden, under the United Nations Human Rights Declaration and also considered as being "cruel and inhuman treatment" that falls under the category of torture and which is also a crime against humanity.

The Canadian government is repressive in many of its actions and as a repressive government, it is also on the same level as those other governments, that has also practiced those same forms of human rights abuse, including those, that it has also criticized openly and has also joined the worldwide campaign to have their actions investigated, by the International Court of Justice, or the United Nations. It is also one, that, does not allow for the free expression of democratic ideals, or for the practicing of human rights altogether. At stake are also two of the most fundamental of human rights principles, that of democracy and freedom. Attacking the individual rights and freedoms of people in that country, for whatever reasons, is also wrong. Targeting activists, like myself and also subjecting them to torture, is also a crime against humanity.

Getting the international community to take those reports, of human rights abuse and crimes against humanity, by the Canadian government seriously, is also difficult. Its international image, as a human rights defender, is also firmly established, despite the other reports that has also come out, that has also proved contrary, to its own reports and it will also take a lot more efforts, from those who are reporting on such human rights abuse, in that country, to also make absolutely sure, that the real truth gets out.

I also believed that Canada, is also one of only three countries, in the world currently, that also practices human rights abuse on that scale and it is also partnered with the other two culprits, the United States and Isreal. All other nations, seem to pale in comparison, with what those other three countries, has also done, in using their technology for their own advantage, against innocent people. The international community, should also not ignore the reports, from people in those countries either, whether they are whistleblowers, activists, or human rights organizations, who are making those reports. They should be listened to and also taken seriously, because of the countless lives, that are also destroyed, by the actions of those government, including Canada.

EXPOSING CORRUPTION WITHIN TORONTO SOCIAL HOUSING.

TORONTO SOCIAL HOUSING IS ROCKED BY SCANDAL.
THE TCHC BOARD CHAIR RESIGNS OVER CHARGES OF CORRUPTION.

THE CONNECTION, ALSO, BETWEEN THE FUNDS & RISK MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT MANAGERS,
AT THE TORONTO SOCIAL HOUSING AND THE MINISTRY OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS & HOUSING,
MARIA VARLOKOSTAS AND ALLISSON COKE AND WHY THE AUDITOR GENERAL, SHOULD ALSO
INVESTIGATE, THEIR ACTIONS, CONCERNING CORRUPTION AND PUBLICLY FUNDED COMPANIES.


THE MOSHAV NOAM COOPERATIVE HOUSING, STAFF AND MANAGEMENT, SUCH AS SANDRA THOMPSON, MINTZ & PARTNERS INC. M&P PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, AND KEHILLA RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMME, SHOULD ALSO BE INVESTIGATED FOR CARRYING OUT CRIMES AGAINST OTHER MEMBERS, SUCH AS ORGANIZING ATTACKS AGAINST SOME MEMBERS OF THE BUILDING, INCLUDING OPEN RACISM, THAT IS ALSO PRACTICED BY THE MANAGEMENT, ITSELF AND LACK OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO THE BUILDING, SUCH AS HOT WATER, GARBAGE COLLECTION, MAKING REPAIRS AND HAVING WORKING APPLIANCES, INSTEAD OF THE CHEAP ONES, THAT ARE ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE FIRED BY MAYOR ROB FORD AND ALSO INVESTIGATED FOR BREACH OF PUBLIC TRUST.

The Toronto Community Housing Corporation's, latest scandal, involving staff members abusing their positions, by their lavish spending habits, that has nothing to do with the carrying out of their public duties, such as expensive vacations and also having pedicures, manicures, and other fringe benefits, at the tax payers' expense, is nothing new and in my opinion, is also, just the tip of the iceberg, regarding the corruption, that also currently exist, within the Toronto Social Housing Unit.

Among the TCHC's other more dubious expenditures, also included the following: 200 million dollars awarded for procurements. Procruements for what exactly? This one is also the least believable, since anyone who is also familiar with TCHC buildings, can also attest, that those same buildings, are also in need of some serious work and that the people who also live in those buildings, some of them, also live in substandard homes, because of this fact. Some of them can also be described as being in object squallor. For example, I also met one lady recently, who lives in the Lawrence Heights Housing Project, or "jungle", who has been trying for the longest time, to get the TCHC, to deal with the bedbugs and the cockroaches in her building. She has told me, that her son is also asthmatic and that the situation is also really bad for his health. I also explained to her, that my building, was also recently checked for bedbugs and I also wondered in this case, if the preferencey, that was also shown, in regards to this, was also because my building, was also in a jewish area, with the building residents, being more than 75 percent jewish. Since both communities are also juxtaposed in the same area of the city, I've also seen the difference given in the treatment of the differenct residents of the area.

I have also written extensively, here on my blog, in regards to some of the practices of the Toronto Social Housing Unit, that has involved their staff and some Toronto City Councillors, such as Janet Davis and others, and the awarding of contracts, to some private companies, and other corporations, such as M&P Property Management and Mintz and Partners, after it was found, that they had also did not carried out their duties, in the best interest of the public. And in fact, were also implicated, in criminal actions, against members of the public and also against redidents, of those buildings, such as the Moshav Noam Housing Coop, where I also live and where people there, has also experienced, personal attacks, that has been carried out by the management, Kehilla Residential Programme and Mintz & Partners Inc.

Mintz & Partners, has also continued to manage the building, despite their term, as the Receiver and Manager of the building, also ending in Novemenr 2010. It was extended for only one year, from November 9, 2009 to Novemner 10, 2010. Somehow they have also managed to continue, to get funding from the City of Toronto, through the Toronto Social Housing Unit, while the new company Kehilla Residential Programme, is also being considered, by them and the City of Toronto, to fill their position, on a permanent basis. Something that the residents, also do not want to see happen. And despite the public complaints, against the both of them, the Funds&Risk Management, managers, Maria Varloostas, who also gets, over a hundrend thousand dollars, in salary a year and both she Allison Coke, at the Ministry of Housing, are also pushing, for them to continue, to manage the building, on a permanent basis.

The president of Mintz & Partners Inc, Howard Rubenhoff, also bilks the City of Tornto, at two hundred and fifty dollars, per hour, for any work, that he also carries out, as the manager, of the the building, even beyond his term, as the manager and receiver. The judge, in the commercial court, the last time, that they had also tried to get their term extended, as the manager of the Moshav Noam Coop, and for the seventh, or eight times, thanks to people like Maria Varlokostas, who has also recommended them, to continue on, as managers of the building and which the Court also refused, and also noted, at how expensive, it was, for the city of Toronto, to also continue to maintaim them, as the Receiver of the building. I was also there, at that hearing.

Some of their most disgusting actions, also included, open racism, at the building, against some groups, by both Kehilla, Mintz and Partners and M&P Property Management. Their worst crimes, though, are the organized attacks, that they have also carried out, against some members, such as myself and using other members of the building, to do so. For me, their actions goes even further, to also include working with others, such as the police, who has also given them immunity, to carry out those attacks against me, in my home. Simply as a way of entrapping me and also harassing me. My safety is also jeopardized, daily, because of their actions against me, yet I still has also, refused to move. Since laying a private charge, of criminal harassment, against the property manager, Sandra Thompson, who has been involved in those attacks against me directly, she has also continued to worked, both secretly and openly to carry out those attacks and also still believes, foolishly, that she can also keep her job, as the property manager, in the process. Several others has also previously left, on account of those same actions against me, including Tiffany Woodfield, Debbie Piggot and Karen Barker, yet she also believes, that she will stay on and continue to go against the members of the building, including me? These are secret crimes, which should also be exposed and those involved, investigated and also charged, for their criminal actions, against the public.

Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford, and the Toronto City Council, will also do well, not only to investigate, those latest corruption scandals, involving the Toronto Social Housing Unit, such as those within the Toronto Community Housing Corporation and others, but also to get rid of the corrupt City Councillors and other staff, within the Toronto Social Housing Unit, itself, such as Maria Varlokostas, the Funds & Risk Management, manager and Phil Brown, who is also the general manager, and hire new people, to also take over that agency. Paying out millions of dollars in contracts, to companies, that also do not deserves to be awarded those contracts, in terms of their services, as well as their other actions, that also go against public interest, should also be a top priority for Mayor Rob Ford, in cleaning up the corruption, within the Toronto Social Housing Unit.

In fact I also recommends, that this agency, should be disbanded altogether and be replaced by a more efficiently working service, that also does not include the broad powers, that has been given to the former, where they also did not have to answer to the Toronto City Council, for some of their decisions, such as how they go about hiring and keeping on those companies, or even some of their board members, that also did not involved, the direct input from other members of the Toronto City Council. The Toronto Social Housing Unit, has operated autonomously and corruptly for a long time and it is also about time, that this also changes. The last time that I check, corruption was also a crime. But how do you deal with a crime like that, which is also basically carried out in secret and involved, to many extent, the very people who are also supposed to prevent it? It would also take someone, with a different ideal, than those currently involved in it, to also take actions against it. I hope that Toronto's new Mayor can do the job.
