Minister of Censorship and Deportation Jason Kenney will be in Vancouver
as part of his bogus cross-Canada consultations on 'appropriate'
immigration levels. On Tuesday afternoon, he is speaking at the Vancouver
Board of Trade about how immigration can serve business and corporate
interests. We don't have the $100 per person to hear Kenney spew his
racist lies and propaganda about so-called illegals abusing the system, so
join us for a picket outside.
Under Kenney, deportations have increased, while the number of people
accepted as refugees and sponsored family members have drastically
dropped. Most recently, using the guise of human smuggling and deterring
the arrival of boats such as the MV Sun Sea, Bill C-4 has been introduced
to blatantly criminalize refugees and target them for imprisonment and/or
deportation. The kind of migration that has increased under Kenney has
been the most precarious class of temporary migrant workers who are
constantly exploited for their labour. For more information, read our
factsheet on Kenney and Tories Record on Immigration:

Over the past three years, we have been confronted Kenney wherever he
goes: http://noii-van.resist.ca/?p=2034
Join with us for an urgent action to make it known that we will not accept
Kenney’s continuing violence against refugees and migrant workers, his
racist attacks and tirades against immigrants, or his blatant acts of
censorship of anti-occupation efforts.
