Re: Judge orders reassessment of decision to deport Ottawa’s Mohamed Harkat, online, June 7
Article content
A Federal Court judge, John Norris, has ordered yet another judicial review of the decision by the government to deport Mohamed Harkat. This nonsense has been going on since 2002. We have had decades of this inability of the court to reach a decision. This is beyond comprehension and acceptance.
The federal government is up to its ears in debt. We, the beleaguered taxpayer, have had enough of this dithering. Stop wasting scarce, hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Enough is enough.
It is way beyond time that this case is put to bed. For God’s sake, either deport him or leave him alone.
Is it any wonder that Canadians have lost trust in and respect for the judicial system in Canada?

PIPELINES AND PAYING DOWN DEBT
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 10 years, you would most certainly know of the need for Canada to build more pipelines and remove all barriers preventing this from happening.
Along with that shocking new piece of knowledge, the debt we have accumulated is crushing what’s left of our country.

If, by some divine intervention, a new pipeline is forthcoming, it is absolutely imperative that every last cent goes to paying down the debt and not more pie in the sky, feel-good projects like high-speed rail.
It is up to the government to clean up its own mess when it comes to the debt.
