We recently told you about the Harper gang giving the Government of Eritrea an ultimatum; back off on collecting your two percent income tax on Eritreans living in Canada, or else!
Or else what?
Or else we'll kick your black-skinned Islamic consul the hell out of Canada, that's what!
Well, they must have thought the Canadians were joking. They must have forgotten that we punch above our weight, and even when we're not punching above our weight we never stop talking about it, and just to prove how tough we are, today John Baird made it official; that Eritrean consul IS OUTTA HERE!!!
That's right; no foreigners residing in Canada will be coherced into paying tax anywhere but Canada!
Oh... with one exception.
The Harper gang doesn't mind playing hardball with an impoverished nation of dark people in Africa, but will continue to allow Uncle Sam to run roughshod over the rights of Americans who happen to live here.
It's called "hypocrisy," and it's something the Harper gang does even better than "punching above our weight."

CBC "exclusive" reveals that Ottawa is not capital of Eritrea
Last year the Harper gang issued an ultimatum to the Eritrean diplomats in Canada; stop collecting that 2% income tax from Eritreans resident in Canada or we'll send you packing.
Apparently the Eritrean diplomats don't take orders from Ottawa, and now the CBC has a scoop!
Those wily black Islamists are still hard at it! Still accepting those voluntary 2% tithes from their countrymen and forwarding them home, where they permit the government to provide the barest of social services and a rudimentary, very rudimentary degree of health care and education.
Canada's ultimatum followed similar demands in the US, UK, and Sweden, all countries that have a critical mass of Eritrean immigrants.
The irony is that Eritrea should be a good candidate for the recent Canadian initiative to piggyback "foreign aid" on mining projects. Canadian gold miner Nevsun owns the only gold mine in the country, its Bisha property, from whence it has dug well over a billion dollars worth of the metal since opening the mine in 2011.
Hmm... a billion dollars coming out; a 2% tax on the incomes of a few thousand cab drivers and apartment supers going in...
Who do you suppose is getting the better of that trade-off?
But the Harper gang is going to make things right by putting a stop to those 2% remittances?
