Good grief, first the Czechs and now Mexican nationalists will require a Visa before entering Canada. I say, what the heck is wrong with Master Card or American Express? But, really, why are we making it more difficult for these people to enter our country. If we want to be more cosmopolitan like our European neighbours I think we should have an equal amount of Gypsies to roma, er, roam our cities trying to make an honest buck. Fair is fair in this global economy.
I really don’t understand why our government in all its wisdom has slapped a visa requirement for our brothers and sisters from Mexico. We certainly can’t be worried about them taking our manufacturing jobs because all of our manufacturing jobs have gone to Mexico anyway. If anything we should be applying for immigrant status in Mexico.
No, I can see no wisdom in the draconian acts of our government. I can only see retaliation in kind from the Czech and Mexican government. Well, maybe not from Mexico because they don’t want to stop the Canadian tourism dollars from rolling in. Does anyone realize that Mexican nationalists make up the fourth largest tourist group to spend money in Canada? Did I hear, “Yow, another shot in the foot!” coming from the opposition parties?
Think how many Mexican tourists our city will be losing because of this edict. With St. Paul St. now being two way traffic our merchants had even considered Spanish language signs in preparation for the thousands of Mexican visitors thronging St Paul St. in their quest for high fashion from Out of The Past or booking suites at the Leonard Hotel.
And think of the work our Roma brothers and sisters could find along our two way street as they work those folks trying to reverse park near the old Wally Wemnant building (a tourist attraction in itself) or the traffic build up at all the three way stops. Goodness, the opportunities this government has squashed.
Perhaps a Fall election would see a change to a more benevolent government and we can reopen our borders to the huddled masses once again.
Or not.

Kind of gives a whole new meaning to "Cancelled Czech"!
ReplyDeleteYes, with any luck it will be a communist (NDP) government and they can get our Visa Mastercard American Express quadrupled and saddle us even worse deficit than the CONSERVATIVES (using the term loosely).
