Shafia family Cost of animate in Canadian prison WE should send them these criminals to their country

Shafia family: Cost of an inmate in Canadian prison

Quebec - Each criminals incarcerated in federal penitentiaries in 57 countries costs $ 322 per day to taxpayers in 2010,up 37% over a period of just eight years. Cost per year per person $ 117.530 more Halal food, medicines, doctors Hallals etc.

Why not return the criminals to their countries of origne.  

The Shafia family in prison (below the costs of foreigners in Canadian prison)

C 'At least that reports the study "Adult Correctional Services in Canada, 2008-2009," published Tuesday by Statistics Canada. The average daily inmate cost serving sentences of two years or older was $ 235 in 2001-2002.

Less well treated and almost twice as many (23,800 on average, compared to 13 300 in federal) prisoners of the 177 provincial jails also cost half the price: $ 162 per day in 2008-2009.

From the federal, detention costs in the provincial prison system increased less dramatically, from 21% from 2001 to 2002 ($ 130 per day).

$ 3.9 billion spending

The study does not explain the increase in the bill, but states that "expenditures to house an inmate in federal custody are normally higher" than in the provincial system, partly because the "higher level of security" and specialized programs longer rehabilitation duration offered by penitentiaries.

"In 2008-2009, spending on adult corrections totaled nearly $ 3.9 billion, up 7% compared to the previous year [...]

Spending operation progressed on both the provincial andsystem territorial(6%) than in the federal system (8%), "saysthe document, adding that the federal level monopolized 54% of disbursements.

Statistics Canada does not including capital costs for prison facilities to calculate the daily cost of an inmate. Since 2000, the capacity of the federal and provincial prison systemoverall increasedby 8% and 26% in Quebec. The organization is limited to expenses "Operating" (security services, rehabilitation programs, health care health, salaries of 15,400 employees of the Federal Corrections, Parole and others).

More sentences "home"

Incidentally, the courts have imposed 18,400 sentencesserved in the community in 2008-2009, an increase of 4% compared to the previous year, according to the study. This measure over economic surveillance, particularly prized by the courts in Quebec (where 4093 convictions "suspended" were granted, compared to 7725 prison sentences during that year) cost $ 299 million toCanadians.

In addition The number of newly admitted prisoners in a penitentiary (8323) fell by 3% in 2008-2009, a first in five years.

It was also mentioned that provincial prisons accommodate more people in custody (13,500 per day) that criminals serve their sentence (about 10,000 perday).

The Shafia family costs us very EXPENSIVE.

Mohammad Shafia and his son Hamed Mohammad Shafia are now held at the Federal Penitentiary in Kingston, Ontario, where they will serve the prison sentence life that was imposed them on 29 January 2012. We have to provide a place of Muslim worship special for these criminals.

The two men were convicted of premeditated murder of Mohammad Shafia's first wife, Rona Amir and three daughters he had with his second wife, Tooba Yahya, is Zainab, Sahar and Geeti.

M. Shafia and his son were formerly held in a provincial jail. The news of their transfer, which occurred last week, was confirmed Tuesday by Hamed Mohammad Shafia lawyer.

Tooba Yahya, convicted of the same crimes, for its part be incarcerated atGrand Valley,Ontario.It is not known if she has already been transferred.

Kingston Penitentiary is home to some of the most notorious criminals in the country, including former Colonel Russell Williams and PaulBernardo,both convicted of murder and sexual assault.

Mohammad Shafia and his son Hamed Mohammad Shafia should normally be placed in isolation so that they are protected from other inmates. The child killers are often targeted in penitentiaries.

Costs for these three criminals if they live up to the age of 85 years and more Canadians citizens to have Halal menus and special care.

The legal costs of Mrs Lise Thibault will be paid by that, I leave you imagined that his subjects will have to pay.

The costs of the Quebec court and prosecutors over a period of more than 6 years will likely cost more than a million dollars, and taxpayers will pay all costs.

Lise Thibault will have apension $ 30,000 annually. She wondered how with such a small pension amount excluding $ 200,000 which she has hidden in his retirement fund that belongs to me because it is we who have paid.

I ask you all to act of altruism towards Lise Thibault by contributing a special tax to enable it to survive as Queen of Quebec Queens. Any amount awarded to Lise Thibault provincial tax will be deductible. The goal it has set Lise Thibault is the sum of $ 5 million for her to survive until the end of his life. The telephone number for donations:

2 Purchases of designer clothes during the term Lise Thibault:

$ 158,000

1- During his reign, taxpayers have paid $ 1,701 for the ... lingerie and underwear. No comment.

 

Ok, this was our best choice. But here are others, reminder ...

 

- In 2000, Lise Thibault has captured no less than two-thirds of the federal budget of 10 lieutenant governors in Canada, with $ 196,000 of a total of $ 300,000.

 

- While she was happily against pressure during examination, Lise Thibault said she was not able to complete his personal budget, despite an annual salary of over $ 100,000, a monthly allowance from the provincial 4800 $ and a federal grant $ 140,000.

- The safety director Lise Thibault, Guy Hamelin, was called in reinforcements to accompany her boss at golf tournaments, and even though a bodyguard was already in operation. This other extravagance Lise Thibault will cost nearly $ 25,000 taxpayers!

Donations to Hamas a very active sector in Montreal taxes deductables for the terrorists

Donations to Hamas: a very active sector in Montreal

Published December 1, 2014 05:00 AM | Updated December 1, 2014 at 7:47

Vincent Larouche La Presse

For years, thegroup IslamistHamas in Montreal has enjoyed a very active infrastructure terrorist financing solicited individuals and Islamic organizations under the guise of charitable activities, says the RCMP documents obtained by La Presse. The banks and the government tried to stop the flow of money, but the network has foiled them, at least until spring.

Thursday, March 6, 2014, 5:09 p.m.. A man that the RCMP considered a Hamas fundraiser fate of the offices of the Muslim Association ofCanada,at the corner of Laurentien Boulevard and Émile Nelligan Street, in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville. He holds a 8.5-inch yellow envelope on 14. Concealed nearby, a police officer aims and presses the button of his camera.

The photo is added to a large investigation file named "Project Sapphire, financing of terrorism".dropoff window Corporal Christine Bélair, the Integrated National Security Team in Montreal, takes notes in his report. "It is possible that [censored] still accepting donations at this time of the Muslim Association of Canada on behalf ofIRFAN,"she wrote.

IRFAN is the name of ancharity active  in QuebecOntarioInternational Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy, added by the government's list of terroristentities,24 April.

Police said the body was amassing millions for Hamas to Canada, under cover of charitable activities in Palestine. Its charitable status had been withdrawn by the Revenue Agency in 2011 because of his alleged links with Hamas. The case made ​​headlines at the time (Hamas is considered a terrorist by Canada since 2002).

But the RCMP found that donations have continued to come anyway. Even when banks have cut off access for IRFAN the Canadian financial system, the organization continued to raise cash donations, he sent to Palestine.

In April, police conducted raids in Quebec Ontario as part of an investigation into the IRFAN. At the cost of long process, lawyers in La Presse obtained an investigative summary sworn 100 pages, written by the RCMP as part of these searches. The paper sheds light on what police believed to be Hamas financing system in Quebec.

The court censured for now the name of the man she believes to be the collector Montreal funds, a resident of Pierrefonds. The investigation is still ongoing and no one has been charged to date.

14.6 million at a

minimum,the Canadian government has reported evidence that between 2005 and 2009, IRFAN transferred 14.6 million Canadian dollars fifteen organizations "directly or indirectly associated with Hamas."

According to the RCMP, it was not by chance or by mistake. "The information shows that IRFAN and its director general, Abdul-Majid Rasem [based in Mississauga, Ontario] were Hamas supporters continued," wrote Corporal Bélair.

Rasem Abdul-Majid on Facebook

It is possible that the funds raised were even more important. The tax authorities found many errors in therecords financialof theIRFAN."That means it is possible that received and not deposited monies have not been detected," said the RCMP. An undercover police officer under a false identity has also discussed with the Director General Irfan, who claimed to transfer 6 to 7 million annually in Palestine and Lebanon.

In 2011, the Revenue Agency has canceled the status of charity IRFAN, which prevented him from issue receipts for tax credit and publicly exposed his alleged ties to Hamas, to the astonishment of some donors who simply believed assist Palestinian orphans.

But donations continued to pour in later reveals the RCMP investigation: from January 2011 to July 2013 alone, 28,300 credit card transactions were carried out on the business account of the group, all for a value 3.4 million. That's not counting donations by check orcash.

In July 2013, it was the turn of the CIBC bank to close all accounts of the IRFAN, because of alleged links to terrorism. No financial institution wanted to now deal with the body.

All these obstacles have not prevented the IRFAN to continue to raise funds. "Despite the revocation of its charitable status, cessation of banking services by CIBC and its inability to obtain other banking services IRFAN today continues to operate as a non-profit organization" Corporal Bélair wrote last April.

"IRFAN continues to accept donations in cash, although it will not accept checks or credit card donations because of its inability to open and maintain a bank account in Canadian financial institutions, "she said. Agents posing as donors have also been able to verify the information and pass notes marked with IRFAN.

active antenna Montreal

Theheadquarters IRFAN well be based in Ontario, the Montreal antenna remained active until at least March, confirms the RCMP.

"The Montreal office of IRFAN was responsible for organizing and holding fundraisers in Quebec, to converse in French with Francophone donors and translate documentation 'Irfan, "she said. The group had an office on Decarie Boulevard in the borough of Saint-Laurent,for years. When it was closed, donors have been redirected to the collector of the Montreal IRFAN, which organized person meetings.

The police followed including the frenetic activity of the Montreal telephone fundraiser, his repeated contacts with managementof IRFANMississauga.Digging his car without his knowledge, last winter, they discovered 30 received completed by hand, for donations collected between May 7, 2013 and March 21, 2014. They also found a lot of solicitation material.

When the search of his residence in April, they found $ 47,000 in cash, including marked bills that had been given to him by an undercover cop posing as a donor in March.

The man, of which we can reveal the identity for the moment, did not respond to interview requests left on his voicemail.

The IRFAN wants to defend

his part, counsel for Rasem Abdul Majid told La Presse IRFAN that wants to challenge in court its designation as a terrorist organization, but it is stuck in an "absurd" situation, because the law prevents them from using the money to pay a lawyer.

"There a serious constitutional issue. If someone was accused of terrorist acts, it could hire a lawyer and defend themselves in court. But the designation of an organization as a terrorist entity prevents the body to hire a lawyer to defend themselves, unless special permission of the Minister or a judge. Procedures will be undertaken soon on this. There are two sides to this story, "Mr. Faisal stressed Mirza.
