Canada Immigration Centre: Diwali Celebrations

Prime Minister Stephen Harper Dept: It s a big crowd for a Sunday afternoon in February. Some 400 people, from China, India and the Philippines among other nations , are jammed into a small auditorium to hear the immigration minister laud his government s record. The mood is festive; everyone crowds in for photos. Shouting above the din, William Yue leans over to say: Nice man. He s a very nice man, according to The Star. If Prime Minister Stephen Harper wins his majority in the next election, he owes a debt to Kenney. The MP for Calgary Southeast has become a fixture at dragon boat races, Ukrainian folk dances, Macedonian dinners and Diwali celebrations. He pops up everywhere, tweeting as he goes and earning the nickname courtesy of erstwhile colleague Rahim Jaffer the minister for curry in a hurry and jason Kenney hardly looks dangerous. He jokes about dropping a few pounds and there s a cherubic quality to him. On stage at a Canada Immigration Centre in Etobicoke, he throws himself into a speech, bobbing on his toes for emphasis. Nice, huh? Well, that depends where you sit on the political spectrum. If it s not with the Conservatives, you might be wise to fear Kenney. He doesn t so much talk about a political party as about a movement . It s been the fabric of his life since he began working 15 years ago to unite the right into a single federal party indeed, into a way of thinking in Canada. As reported in the news.
