@user: "Dear Immigration Reformer:
Elinor Caplan is waddling down from federal politics. This unlovely ethnic
partisan disgraced two federal portfolios: she was Minister of Immigration,
but self-importantly announced that she would not be a gate-keeper, like
the retriever that announced that he wouldn't fetch ducks, and she was
Minister of Revenue in charge of the notorious customs censors.
Faced with the Chinese boat people invasion in 1999, she dismissed critics
and demanded whether they wanted her to sink the invaders. No, refusing
them landing and repealing the Singh Decision would have sufficed.
She was one of Chretien's female heavy weights  parachuted into a
riding, by-passing the normal nomination process. She deemed her proudest
moment as Immigration Minister  or so she told the Friends of Yad Vesham
when they made her poster girl of the year, in 1999  was the time she
signed the deportation orders of two elderly Germans who, she deemed, may
not have owned up to being in certain military units on the losing side of
WW II. Now, today lying  if, indeed, they did lie  is no big deal. The
regulations HER officials enforce prevent them from locking up frauds and
liars in all but the rarest of cases. In delighting in deporting these two
old men, she flashed her ethnic agenda by saying that she'd recited
"Kaddish"  the Jewish prayer of the dead.
The following NATIONAL POST editorial ticks off some of the other low
points of her sordid career. She was probably the worst Immigration
Minister, and that's saying something, since Barbara McDougall, who, in
1990, decided to let in 1.25-million newcomers  many of them Chinese 
during Canada's worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

THORNHILL'S DEMAGOGUE SAYS GOODBYE
Elinor Caplan's career in the House of Commons has been marked by
mediocrity and controversy. Her decision to not seek re-election in her
riding of Thornhill, Ont., announced this week, comes as a thoroughly
welcome surprise.
What we'll remember most about Ms. Caplan is the new low she set for
political discourse when she labelled Canadian Alliance supporters
"Holocaust deniers, prominent bigots and racists" during the 2000 election
campaign. It was a hateful and ludicrously ignorant comment. Yet Ms. Caplan
refused to renounce it or apologize.
The following year, the then-immigration minister responded to 9/11 by
lashing out against anyone looking to beef up border security. In her first
public comments after the attack, she falsely declared our immigration laws
to be "amongst the toughest in the world when it comes to inadmissibility
for criminality and terrorism" and denounced anyone looking to overhaul
them as engaging in "anti-immigrant, anti-everybody" rhetoric.
Ms. Caplan symbolizes an undesirable breed in Canadian politics  the
shrill, reality-blind partisan with an unhealthy affection for knee-jerk
leftism. Whoever takes her place in Thornhill won't have a tough act to
follow.
