Hmm, what is this news source? I'm not familiar with The Spectator. Who owns that?

Sir Paul Roderick Clucas Marshall is a British hedge fund manager, philanthropist, and media baron. He is the owner of UnHerd and The Spectator, and co-owner of GB News. According to the Sunday Times Rich List, he had an estimated net worth of £875 million in 2024, up from £630 million in 2020.

Who is the writer of the article, Jane Stannus?:

Oh, I see. A PP glazer and writer for Catholic publications. Not Canadian, btw. Ok then.

I find it odd that the post article is not stopping extortion but stopping Indian extortion.

This post has more investifative reporting than the editor and "journalist"in the Spec.

Also, don't forget to sign petition e-6879! Don't be distracted by the fact that the biggest imposition on your quality of life is by billionaires who are winning the class war:

Not to be confused with The Hamilton Spectator https://thespec.com/

If we can get rid of the Indian gangs, then we are just left with the Chinese triads and tongs, the Vietnamese gangss, the Sri Lankan gangs, the Russian gangs, the Italian mafia, and let's not forget the homegrown biker gangs.

[-] lautan@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Fallacy. South Asian gangs are becoming a real problem.

[-] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago

So is blatant racism masquerading as a news publication

[-] lautan@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Another logical fallacy. I hope these criminals get caught. Have a good day.

[-] Darkcoffee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Took you a business day to come up with that banger?

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

What I said is fact. I'm just asking questions.

[-] lemonySplit@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Time for you to unplug from f***book and right wing (mostly US owned, or in this case British oligarch owned and written by a USian) media for a bit there buddy.

Go touch some grass and maybe read an article from a competing viewpoint once n awhile so you start to notice the blatant lies and brainwashing you are falling victim to. Its disgustingly obvious if you just bother reading both viewpoints and think even a little critically about the information you are being fed.

Canadian here. The only thing being terrorized by Indians are our wallets. There are too many delicious restaraunts.

[-] eightys3v3n@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

And my mouth when they offer to share so yummy Indian food for lunch 😍 it burnsss

[-] lemonySplit@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Honestly some of my favourite cuisine! I really wish there was an Indian restaurant around here :( and a Thai place for that matter...

When I immigrated to Canada my process, as well as many people I know who had applied for immigration, was long and extremely picky. They asked for many documents, including detailed criminal, health, financial, educational, and work records, and all my personal info. And I was married to a Canadian. I know many decent and educated people who got rejected for not having enough credits or points. I don't understand how and WHY the government lets in unchecked citizens. I am not anti-immigration, just anti-trashy people no matter what race or religion. I am not targeting the Indian people here, just bad people who put their own people's (country's) reputation and status at a lower level. Remember all immigrants, you are ambassadors of your country, so be good citizens in your new home. Peace ✌️.

What they did in the US is highlight criminals, then use that confusion and outrage to allow them to target all immigrants. So be really careful how you respond to what is being pushed to you about this. If your gut is telling you it doesn't sound right, or it doesn't align with your direct experience, be very careful you are not being used to condemn.

[-] ZiggyTheZygote@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

They want Canada to become like them.

[-] lautan@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

This section of the article lays out why Canada’s legal system is being treated as a joke by these criminals-

“Gangs are also expert at exploiting the weaknesses in Canadian immigration policy. Many of their members are present in Canada illegally, often on expired student visas. Some were already known criminals in their home countries, who somehow escaped proper vetting on entry.

Last December, at least 14 suspects avoided deportation by claiming refugee status, buying themselves years of time in Canada, along with subsidised health care and social programmes, according to Vancouver immigration lawyer Richard Kurland. They now cannot be deported until the Refugee Protection Division rules on the merit of their claims – with a multi-year backlog of refugee cases to be processed ahead of them.”

Sounds like the "loophole" we need to address is our lack of funding courts and justice systems - a problem seen Canada wide. Seems like a very easy and popular way to solve the issue.
