Yeah ... about that "transparency" thingy ...


Can I haz accountability?

The Tories have slipped significant changes into Canada's immigration laws into a budget implementation bill introduced in the Commons Friday.

The changes, which amend the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, were included in the budget bill, making them a confidence matter. If they're passed, the changes would speed up the processing of applications for skilled workers, but they would also throw other claimants to the back of the line and reject others outright.

It's not as if the Stephen Harper Party of Canada needs to try to sneak anything through anymore. They might just as well be openly brazen about -- no one's going to stop them.

My dad was just complaining about this. Say hello to whites only immigration.

How very American, sneaking unrelated legislation in on a bill.
