Welcome to Canada. Hopefully you find some peace and security here.

I remember hearing about that case, and what they tried to do to that poor, mentally diminished girl.
We saved her, and brought her to Canada did we? Good for us. We're nice people.
Maybe sometimes we're too nice (some might say stupid), but it's good to finally find a refugee who actually deserves refuge.

“I am sad that this innocent girl had to leave Pakistan. She had been acquitted by the court, and despite that it was not possible for her to live freely,” he said.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney told CTV News that he personally intervened to help Rimsha Masih.
He called her case “an extraordinary example of brutal persecution.”
Due to safety concerns, the family’s exact whereabouts in Canada are being kept secret.
The girl was arrested in August in Islamabad after a Muslim cleric accused her of burning the Koran.

It's a shame our government doesn't treat its own citizens who are political prisoners with this same respect.

Prince of Pot in solitary confinement over cellphone in U.S. prison
$1:
The man known as Vancouver's Prince of Pot has spent more three years in a U.S. prison now, but his wife says the last week he's been in solitary confinement.
Jodie Emery says her husband Marc was isolated after being falsely accused of having a cell phone.
That would be considered a serious prison violation.
Emery says officials are investigating her husband over a photo of he and his band taken in prison that was posted online a few months ago.
She says they know the photo was not taken with a cell phone.
"The prison approved those photos, they took them themselves. I'm holding them in my hand the printed paper that came to me in a mailed envelope."
Jodie Emery is worried this will affect Marc's transfer application because he was scheduled to come back to Canada in July 2014.

Here's a Canadian who Canadian courts refused to prosecute. Imprisoned in a foreign land that he never set foot in for doing something that thousands of companies there do every day.
All it would take is one signature on one piece of paper to bring him home.

According to the Canadians on this topic random-insanity-f16/video-rcmp-seize-guns-from-high-river-homes-t105580.html Canadians don't really have rights if a situation says they don't have rights. Mark Emery's conditional rights as a Canadian were no good when America wanted to cancel them.

I thought you left in a giant huff never to return or at least that's what you led us to belive.
