The latter have made our highly dysfunctional refugee determination system the channel most often used for gaining entry. A survey that we made based on media reports of 25 Islamic terrorists and suspects who entered Canada as adults indicated that 16 claimed refugee status, four were admitted as landed immigrants and the channel of entry for the remaining five was not identified. Making a refugee claim is used by both ter- rorists and criminals as a means of rendering their removal from the country more difficult. In addition to examining specific shortcomings of current policies, this paper will also look at the reasons why the government has not rectified them.

  • Tribes and Revolution; the “Social Factor” in Muammar Gadhafi's
    Tribes and Revolution; The “Social Factor” in Muammar Gadhafi’s Libya and Beyond Joshua Jet Friesen Department of Anthropology, McGill University June 2013 Thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Art in Anthropology © Joshua Friesen 2013 i Abstract: A revolt against Colonel Muammar Gadhafi’s Libyan government began in February of 2011. The conflict lasted for eight months and affected the entire country. Two distinct sides fought for control during those eight months making the conflict a civil war. This master’s thesis uses a series of interviews as well as the academic and journalistic literature produced about the Libyan conflict to argue that the war should also be understood as a revolution. Considering the war a revolution introduces a number of puzzles. Firstly, Colonel Gadhafi’s position within Libya was officially symbolic in much the same way Great Britain’s royalty is in Canada, yet Gadhafi was named as the revolution’s primary enemy. Secondly, Libya was officially a popular democracy with no executive administrative branches. A revolution against a political elite was therefore theoretically impossible. Nonetheless, the Libyans I interviewed considered Gadhafi more than the purely symbolic leader of Libya, and felt that Libya was actually closer to a dictatorship than a popular democracy. This thesis investigates the discrepancies between official and unofficial realities in Libya by exploring the role of society in the history of Colonel Gadhafi’s government. My analysis is focused by the question, “what role did tribes play in Libya’s revolution?” I argue that tribes provided a system for conceptually organizing Libya’s society during Colonel Gadhafi’s tenure.

This interest has generated a great deal of research, as we have outlined in the preceding chapters. This research has included investigations of well-being1 which have measured and compared the well-being of First Nations in Canada with that of other Canadians and have assessed disparities over time using an extension of the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Human Development Index (HDI) (See Chapter 3). Of particular interest is the challenge to produce a measure of the well-being of populations residing within communi- ties. To tackle the issue, researchers have developed the First Nations Community Well-Being Index (CWB) (See Chapter 6). These initial research developments have proved very influential in the policy research environment in Canada and have been widely integrated in the body of knowledge of Aboriginal living conditions.

The analyst examined those Asian organized crime syndicates that direct their criminal activities at the United States via Canada, namely crime groups trafficking heroin from Southeast Asia, groups engaging in the trafficking of women, and groups committing financial crimes against U.S. interests. The terrorist organizations examined were those that are viewed as potentially planning attacks on U.S. interests. The analyst researched the various holdings of the Library of Congress, the Open Source Information System (OSIS), other press accounts, and various studies produced by scholars and organizations. Numerous other online research services were also used in preparing this study, including those of NGOs and international organizations. i Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Asian Criminal and Terrorist Activity in Canada TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE.......................................................................................................................................
