Woman suing Canada for $2.5 million
Big surprise! Suaad Hagi Mohamud, stranded in Kenya because of questions about her Canadian identity, is suing:
‘I don't care about money,' ‘I'm only (going) to court so this never happens to another Canadian citizen.'
Good grief! Another attack on the Canadian tax payer, perhaps we should all sue her, for her lack of gratitude for the opportunities to be found here. Why is it our "fault" for the way she was treated by a Kenyan goverment. My Grandfather came here as a 9 year old "orphan immigrant" at the turn of the century from Scotland, he was placed on a farm in Manitoba and treated like a rented mule. He walked away as soon as he was old enough, eventualy married and raised 10 kids, there are about 500 desendants today. Who do I sue? He just got on with it, I am very much sick and tired of these people. Lottery winners that never bought a ticket. Cheers Bubba
Hey, one more selfish, ungrateful, golddiging refugee. This, far-left selfish bimbo is what is wrong with our refugee system; we are allowing too many of these golddigers who are here as economical refuges.
If we had a conservative government it would re-write the refugee,immigration and multicultural laws of this country.
If whe doesn't "care about the money" but only wants to make a point, why doesn't she sue the government for $2.50 rather than $2.5 million?
Something smells in this whole thing? Where is the sister in all of this? Seems like a set up to me - another pseudo scandal to make the government look like it is racist.
And just before a supposed election call - imagine that?
A Canadian High Commission employee by the name of Liliane Khadour prevented her from returning to Canada, and referred her to the Kenyan authorities.
Liliane Khadour, may have acted in a malicious and incompetant manner... So.... Sue the hell out of her ...NOT...my tax dollars.
No amount of law suit against the taxpayer will ever force a public servant to change his behaviour, why would it...it's NOT money out HIS pocket but yours and mine.
Compensate, YES (within reason), law suit against taxpayers NO, law suit against Liliane Khadour ..YES...!
And NO, lefties, conservatives are not responsible, there are guidelines High commision staff MUST follow.
The staff member (Liliane Khadour) is at fault, not my tax dollars.
Why should we have to pay for her incompetance?
Ps... If taxpayers end-up paying for this law suit, it will mean a back-door acceptance that Liliane Khadour and her actions speak for ALL canadians. We would be accepting responsibility for this womans actions.
NOT in my bloody lifetime...
Send a letter to your MP .."SUE Liliane Khadour".. NOT the Taxpayer
the passport switch ahs been used by people from Somalia fror sometime now. If she thinks Canada is a problem what does she think of her home country. I'm sick of Canadians of opportunity . Please, if you don't like it hear you are FREE to leave.
"Sue the hell out of her ...NOT...my tax dollars."
She works for the Stephen Harper Government ie the Cdn taxpayer. That is why we are on the hook. Maybe if the Cons hired educated people, we would not have this problem. Wait...hahahahaha
"Please, if you don't like it hear you are FREE to leave." Education...so elitist...
Just one more example of a lying, selfish, me-first, greedy gold digging refugee and how they treat the country that was good enough to give them a home and a standard of living beyond their dreams. If she is not doing it "for the money" then she should be suiting for $2.50 rather than $2.5 million.
Just one more example of Canada’s broken immigration refugee system which our conservative in name only (CINO) government refuses to alter. Our left plunging PM and Immigration Minister would rather suck up to the immigrants for votes than protect citizens from these criminals/terrorist.
Immigration and/or refugee professionals have been calling on our CINO Prime Minister and Immigration minister to initiate a comprehensive review pursuant to our immigration, refugee, and/or multicultural policies.
Many specialists contend that we must decrease our immigration/ refugee numbers , since their economic value is extremely limited. They suggest that the numbers must be decreased down to a level which we can actually screen potential immigrants and refugees more adequately. All agree that governments must stop caving into pro-immigration groups’ demands in order to gain votes.

canadian cynic (the now famous robert day) links to the post here... red tory piles on... and you and ti-ti, little lefty lemmings that you are... zoom over here to choke up the comment thread.
but your big concern is that i stay on topic? sorry, puss... maybe when i come visit you at your blog you can lay down the law.
hey... why don't you & ti-ti file a complaint with the chrc... that'd show me.
I can understand the reluctance to hand over money that would take most of us a lifetime to earn in before-tax income for what amounts to a three-month delay in her life. But I can't understand the resentment toward her, or the unfounded accusations which besmirch her character.
I'd like to know who among you would not sue the Canadian government for being in the exact same circumstances.
Worse than that, your above poll asks whether she should be "compensated" for her ordeal, an answer which I think any sensible person would make in the affirmative. Of course she deserves compensation, if at least for lost wages, her mother's bail money, and for some pain and suffering.
Truly, where has our humanity been lost that we only see the money and not the person here?
"or do we just pay out to every person who threatens a lawsuit?"
nice straw man, neo. yeah, that's what everyone wants, and only you are smart enough to know better. what an intellectually dishonest douchebag you are.
Raph, neo makes a good point. I hope the gov't takes a good look at the facts of the case, as it says it will, and not just cough up taxpayers' cash to shut everyone up.
Maybe embassy staff screwed up, maybe they had good reason to suspect fraud and maybe some of both. Whatever. But when people sue for millions and say they don't care about the money it's not much wonder a lot of people are skeptical. It's also not hard to envision lawyers in the background egging her on for a nice fat contingency payday.
Memories of Arar,best she sue the Kenyan government and she what rewards she will receive.

ReplyDeletems mohamud has now retained prominent race-specialist litigator julian falconer... to press her "it's not about the money" lawsuit...
“If a Caucasian person had been in Suaad's position in Kenya, would she have received the callous and reckless treatment she did?” he said.
I dunno Julian... maybe you could ask Bill Sampson.

She didn't look like her passport picture.
ReplyDeleteNO other documentation is acceptable (drivers licence etc) and that is stated on the travel advisory.
Where is the Government of Canada to blame?

"‘I don't care about money,' ‘I'm only (going) to court so this never happens to another Canadian citizen.'
ReplyDeleteUh huh."
actually, that is the very reason for awarding punative damages: to ensure that the practice is not readily repeated.

"perhaps we should all sue her, for her lack of gratitude for the opportunities to be found here"
ReplyDeleteincluding the opportunity to seek recompense. maybe they should all sue you....

"Where is the Government of Canada to blame?

because she is the person in the picture in her passport. a legal document binds two ways.
