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

Fallacy. South Asian gangs are becoming a real problem.

So is blatant racism masquerading as a news publication
lautan@lemmy.ca · -5 pts · 204d
Another logical fallacy. I hope these criminals get caught. Have a good day.

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

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

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.

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.

They want Canada to become like them.

It sounds like they're running extortion rackets and assanations for Modi...
So my guess is it's less that Canada isn't checking, and more that India is issuing clean paperwork for higher-ups, while the gangs may recruit from the youth already there for soldiers.
Like, if Modi wants someone to be able to immigrate to Canada for this, he can just give them whatever paperwork is necessary. And it would be authenticly from the Indian government, zero way to catch it.
The article says the big one is now listed as a terrorist group, which means they can detain/deport anyone with the slightest of connections. So not really the same as the narrative OP is spinning where there's a broken immigration system

And the right will use this media frenzy to further their anti-immigrant agendas.

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.
