I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD A FIRM GRASP ON THE SITUATION.

Stan's message was originally written by an American who is probably a member of the Tea Party. You can tell because Canadians do not have "Food Stamps" or "Social Insurance Cards". After the message made the rounds on the Internet, some Canadian modified it for Canadians. The message appeals to the lowest instincts of the reader, especially to xenophobia. Readers would do well to go to a mirror and take a good long look at what they see and think.

Dear Stan,

Here in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, I have been attacked and assaulted twice. I was beaten to a pulp but I was not supported by the cops, who switched sides the first time and said "There were thirty of them and one of you," the second time. "It's your word against theirs." My lawyer failed to show up in court the first time. Outside court, my assailants offered me twenty-five dollars for beating me to a pulp. I told them to shove it up their ass. I was eighteen then and was launched on a life of being screwed by the Canadian system. Being screwed by the Canadian system had actually started long before I graduated from high school. The worst people have been doctors:

I have suffered from medical malpractice in Regina, the home of Canadian medicare (as well as Canadian socialism and the RCMP), for over sixty years. Recently, after I was tortured for eight years, I slipped into a coma. It has taken me ten years to recover from what doctors did to me. After I discovered why I had been sick (statin drugs), I reported it to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the Canadian Medical Association, Saskatchewan Health, the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region, the Minister of Health (Saskatchewan), Health Canada, The Minister of Health (Canada), The Canadian Pharmaceutical Association, The FDA in Washington, the President of Merck-Frosst, M. André Marcheterre, the Premier of Saskatchewan (both Mr. Calvert (NDP) and Mr. Wall (Saskatchewan Party), the Leader Post, the Globe and Mail, Goldhawk, The Fifth Estate, the Saskatchewan Law Society, and the Canadian Bar Association. I was not able to find a lawyer in Canada (my friend, Mr. MacKay did help me), though every American lawyer I contacted said I have a very strong case. One of Regina's more prominent lawyers confided, "You have an excellent case, but you do not have a winnable case." Every agency here in this fine country that is so proud of being the "best country in the world" continues to ignore me and what was done to me.

This is bizarre. It does not bode well for you, Stan, or for other residents of Regina or Canada. Everyone should find this extremely disturbing because none of the aforementioned authorities, that is, all of them, could not care less. 

Those in charge of things in Canada really do not care about their duty. They care about their position on the gravy train and their pensions and investments. Honour is a foreign concept to them, just a word. Greed is the reality. They do not care at all. Don't take it personally. I don't. They don't care about me. They don't care about you either. Believe me. I know. Maybe I should renounce my Canadian citizenship, become a Muslim, or a Tamil, rent a boat (or perhaps steal one), and sneak into Canada where you say illegal immigrants get wonderful benefits. Why would the authorities care about them? Oh well. I'll take your word for it. Maybe it is just political theatre so they can pretend they care about people. They don't.

By the way, the Canada Pension Plan puts $300 a month into my bank account and the Saskatchewan Income Security Plan was adding $500 a month until I cancelled it hoping I would be able to earn more than $500 a month. (I wonder if our Canadian bureaucrats live on $300 a month or $800 a month. What do you think?) That's what our "caring and sharing" society did for me as a disabled person after I had been disabled by the health care system everyone loves so much. They spend more in Canada looking after convicts, much more. And convicts don't even have to pay Income Tax, or work!

I'm certainly glad to learn that Canada looks after illegal immigrants better than it has looked after me, a Canadian. Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into this.
