This week a network of solidarity groups had been making arrangements for presentations by a compañera, a human rights activist, from Colombia and who would be speaking about the miscarriage of justice towards and deplorable conditions of political prisoners in the jails Colombia.
True to form the Harper a la MacArthur stepped right in and denied this woman a visitor’s visa.
We are aware that she is not the only person who has been denied a visitor’s visa, other Colombians and many brothers and sisters from the Palestinian struggle.
We have to start keeping an account – a historical record - to confront this government head on – this is an abuse of power and a denial of freedom of speech.
Does this not make Canadians born in Canada angry? Or is it just us born in different lands who come to find out that our ties with our countries are sabotaged and latently severed by the overt actions of a neo conservative government.
Its time to do something about this - it is not acceptable and should not be just taken with a sigh.
