Interesting read from Canadia. Perhaps they’re not as enlightened as I thought.

The Dolphin and the Monkey and NYPD’s Disappointing Tactics
We need to hold the NYPD accountable for their misdeeds. Sarah’s piece is spot on. Sarah Sayeed, Ph.D.: The Dolphin and the Monkey and NYPD’s Disappointing Tactics. Aesop’s story might be a good one to teach at New York Police Department trainings, instead of infecting unsuspecting officers with a pernicious fear of Islam and Muslims. The active participation of Police Commissioner Kelly and his Public Affairs Officer Paul Browne in the creation and promotion of an anti-Muslim film has led Muslim New Yorkers to deep disappointment, skepticism and mistrust. They are now calling for the two to resign.

One thought on “Canada’s No-Fly List: Too Guilty to Fly, Too Innocent to Charge?”
Comments are closed.
Unfortunately we have a “Republican Lite” government here which is trying to kiss up to the Americans to relax the border crossing requirements between the US and Canada.
The new tightened requirements (passport instead of a driver’s licence/birth certificate) are putting a crimp in tourism by making impromptu day trips across the border all but impossible. Most Americans don’t have passports and the wait times are too long to quick trips.
So the hope is that if we show we are tough on terrorism they will you guys will relax the restrictions.
I don’t think this has made it to the Supreme Court of Canada yet but the court rejected Security Certificates and may do the same if this lands in front of them.
