Why would any woman vote for a liberal?

Don’t start thinking that liberals only care about breaking apart the traditional family unit and pushing emergency enactment of gay marriages in Canada.  They care about more than that. 

They don’t only care about making it easier for our kids to get high on drugs by smoking pot more easily.  No.  There’s more to them than that, even though that was the first legislation tabled by the Liberals after their election.

And they’re not all about ensuring that Canada can’t defend itself. That’s really more of a passive thing that happens over time.

They don’t all, in unison, strive to ensure that girls learn how to have sex at the earliest possible age, then that women who choose to have sex can also choose to simply abort their nuisance pregnancy—100,000 times per year. 

They don’t simply want to turn Canada into a socialist state like Cuba by enacting more and more social programs to take away any sense of personal responsibility or intuition; nor are they all over that whole state-run everything including taking care of your own children for you—thing.  It’s not just that. 

No they’re also about the strippers.  Taking care of business.  The pole-dancer business.  Looking after the high moral ground in smoke-filled peeler/sex bars.  That’s their Canada. 

Judy Sgro, the Liberal’s Immigration Minister, whose chief of staff visited strip clubs to meet owners who wanted to bring in foreign porno dancers, feared ending the fantastic liberal stripper immigration program could hurt the strip club business.  And we can’t have that, apparently—not in their liberal Canada. 

Their own staff warned them about the fact that women were being bought and sold like sex slaves.  So they knew that, but continued the program anyway.  This is how liberals treat women.  Why would any women vote for a liberal? 

OTTAWA – Human Resources Development Canada gave foreign strippers a blanket exemption to work in Canada despite warnings from inside the government the women would be forced into prostitution at clubs controlled by organized crime, according to federal documents.

Despite alarm bells about organized crime’s involvement in the importation of exotic dancers, Pierre Pettigrew, then human resources minister, approved the special exemption on April 28, 1998, under a labour mobility program.

Mr. Pettigrew, now Foreign Affairs Minister, and successive human resources ministers ignored calls to cancel the program from officials in other departments who said it promoted the trafficking of “vulnerable women” for “illegal sex activities in Canada.”

Memos obtained under Access to Information by Vancouver immigration lawyer Richard Kurland reveal Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) knew foreign strippers, mainly from eastern Europe, would be forced into prostitution at clubs run by organized crime.

Officials at Citizenship and Immigration and other departments voiced strong objections to the blanket exemption, and recounted horror stories of exotic dancers being forced into sexual slavery in Canada.

“Having heard many stories from returning applicants of how they suffered abuse at the hands of their employers and were little more than indentured servants [often having passports confiscated and being unable to leave until their airfare was fully paid], we are extremely hesitant to send women into this profession,” an April 8, 1998, memo from Citizenship and Immigration said.

“Reports have emphasized that this profession is very closely linked with organized crime [as it is in Europe] and that the primary concern is what faces these women in Canada.”

The memo also expressed frustration that HRDC pushed ahead with the exemption even though it contradicted Canada’s foreign policy against global trafficking in women. Other internal documents obtained by CanWest News Service show senior HRDC officials were repeatedly urged over the past six years to cancel the special exemption, yet refused to do so.

Daniel Jean, assistant deputy minister at Citizenship and Immigration, wrote to his HRDC counterpart, Phil Jensen, on May 31, 2003, to register concern about the involvement of criminal syndicates in trafficking of foreign strippers.

“There is increased vulnerability of exploitation of the dancers stemming from a demand for increased level of contact with club patrons and an alleged involvement of organized crime in the industry,” Mr. Jean wrote.

In a June 9, 2004, letter, Mr. Jean again complained about the increase in the trafficking of exotic dancers from eastern Europe, as well as Asia, into Canada for prostitution.

“In this movement, many vulnerable women are being misled, exploited and trafficked to support illegal sex trade activities in Canada,” Mr. Jean wrote to Karen Jackson, assistant deputy minister of workplace skills at HRDC.

A senior government official said intimidation by organized crime in the adult entertainment business led HRDC to set up the fast-track program for foreign strippers.
