Tasers NEVER killed Anyone
TopPoster wrote: That is to become a citizen, you can live in Canada as a landed immigrant speaking whatever language you like That's true. A lot of people seem to think that we should accommodate immigrants, and I agree to some extent. I don't think that it is asking too much to have them learn enough English to find their way through an airport. |

I strongly fault Mr Dziekanski for not learning even basic English before moving here. Maybe there are exceptions to be made with refugees, but I don't believe someone who doesn't speak English well (in BC, at least) can properly function and contribute to society. |

It is a requirement under the Citizenship Act that a person have an adequate knowledge of on of the two official languages. I notice you failed to type "one" correctly. What an idiot. Wow.... look at that. I had said that it is in the Citizenship Act... You don't even know a cite when you see one. Whatever. You a liar and an idiot. And you think you are bright enough and well enough informed to debate issues? Not going to with you. Kf. |

Yes, but that is about taking CITIZENSHIP, and even that requirement is gone if you are over 55 when you apply. The fact is, he was merely landing or exercising his VISA, which seems pretty clear! The Border entry people really must be looked at even though they aren't in the video, and the press is, as usual, irresponsible, as they are not bringing that issue up. He had been IN CUSTODY for many, MANY hours prior AND someone who spoke Polish WAS working on the airport. Again, For SHAME. |

It is a requirement under the Citizenship Act that a person have an adequate knowledge of on of the two official languages. I am NOT talking about you, Dave; I am talking about the IDIOTS. They think that they are Lawyers, when they are not. One can safely come to the world's most ethnically diverse community even YET .. you don't need to speak English, and certainly not when your mother worked seven years to buy you a ticket to come and see her!! People want to see this whole thing with one lens or another. But this is a MULTIDISCIPLINARY issue . there are many, many factors involved. Hence a real true inquest, with many point of view being heard, recommendations made and minority dissenting opinions noted must come out. It is THAT important. Dave, don't let the idiots push you into a box; you're NOT a coroner and neither are they. Canada can learn from this - how to train its police forces, how to treat people coming in (and boy! Does Vancouver need that before 2010!! remember Atlanta and the set up man accused of bombing when he was TOTALLY innocent??), how to find decent emergency procedures in place -- all sorts of issues pending in Vancouver particularly could get a full airing before something even MORE dreadful happens. There are people who do not intend to let the Olympics go off without demonstrations unless something is done about several pending issues - native sovereignty, climate change, poverty, the coming North American Union, many other things -- and IF Canada cannot take care of "business" without resorting to weapons of torture, chemical weapons (pepper spray and worse chemical inhalants), corruption and graft on the part of its officials, many people are NOT going to come to Canada. They simply won't. I ain't for "saving the system", but I think all of this can be used as a very educational force for social change for citizens and visitors. |

protocol in dealing with suspects. It was tasing him twice, and 3 officers kneeling on his back and neck, not letting him breathe. Those officers acted exactly as they are trained to. I wish that some day they will show on you how they are trained. |

While he had a stapler he wasn't close enough to strike him with it. They should have waited a minute or two or until he attacked them. Of course not.... those helpful witnesses said that the man spoke only Russian. What ta **** does it make a difference what language did he speak and what witnesses have said. These 4 pigs kilkled innocent scared man. |
