Immigration Minister, Diane Finley is under RCMP Protection following veiled threats her safety over the governments anti stripping legislation. Threats believed coming from Eastern European Criminal Organizations based here in Canada.
Canada, under threat from those who make a good living in the lucrative trade in human trafficking of women the world over do not think twice in holding this country hostage.
Canada being a country of laws meant to protect the innocent seems a justice of contradiction, as those caught in human trafficking get relatively light jail sentences if any, or rarely deported.
For example one case of thousands of cases across Canada and in particular one case in mind in British Columbia, whereby in 2006 a slew of massage parlour owners recruited (bought) a bevy of 78 ladies from China to work as Prostitutes, unbeknownst to these ladies seeking a honest days work upon arriving in Canada were immediately put to work to sate the desires of a paying public.
The area Police forces acting on a tip led to the arrest of 108 people involved charged with human trafficking of 78 women for prostitution just in the Tri City area. The next day after the raid, the 18 massage parlours involved in the raid were open and back in business.
Outraged police forces certainly were disheartened at a Justice System, clearly not working.
It is believed only one person went to trial after 2 years on bail.
All or the majority of the Women trafficked into Canada were immediately deported from Canada.
The accused criminals involved in the trafficking were not deported. Thereby no incentive to prevent these criminals from immediately going back into the business of trafficking of women.
Clearly Canada has to send a STRONG MESSAGE to Criminal Elements, take off the Gloves, do away with endless appeals, bail conditions, human rights, implement immediate Life in Prison with no parole or immediate deportation after a 20 year jail term served at Hard Labour upon conviction, no TV, Mail, Internet, special holiday meals, room and board, exercise rooms, conjugal visits, magazines, university education classes and other luxuries even ordinary Canadians do not enjoy, but Prisoners enjoy at Taxpayer expense.
Because let's face it, Criminals do not give it a second thought on Human Rights to these women, and threaten Canada with death threats, so fair is fair in my book.

Strip threat laid bare
Immigration minister targeted over law keeping out dancers
By TERRY PEDWELL, THE CANADIAN PRESS
Security has been tightened around Immigration Minister Diane Finley following threats related to Conservative efforts to keep foreign strippers out of Canada.
Numerous threats, of an escalating nature, have been made against the minister in recent weeks, several sources told The Canadian Press.
The exact nature of the threats was not revealed, but sources say they are directly linked to Bill C-17, the government's anti-stripper legislation, and hinted at an organized crime connection.
"It has to be specific enough for RCMP, in terms of their threat assessments, to raise the level of security, which has happened," said one high-level government source, who asked not to be identified. "They are constantly reassessing (the threat level)."
Another source close to the minister said security "started increasing about six to eight weeks ago -- and it hasn't gone down."
The RCMP refused comment.
"We're not in a position to discuss whether there may or may not be protection on anyone," said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Jean Hainey. "This is not something that we discuss, for obvious reasons."
Finley introduced the anti-stripper legislation early last year -- it was re-introduced in the fall -- as a measure she said would crack down on sexual exploitation and human trafficking.Bill C-17, once passed, would authorize immigration officers to assess the risk of exploitation and refuse entry to temporary workers, in particular those identified as exotic dancers.
Organized criminals have been known in the past to threaten civil servants over regulations involving strip club workers.
In the mid-1990s, intimidation in the adult entertainment business led Human Resources Development Canada to set up a fast-track program for foreign exotic dancers, said former HRDC minister Joe Volpe.
