Canada Canadians and Cindy Barkway

World Trade Centre New York: Jihadi terrorists have threatened Canada and Canadians by name and with a clarity that leaves no room for doubt, Harper told a room filled with hand-picked observers, according to The Chronicle Herald. We are increasing our capacity to detect terrorists and terrorist plots, to choke off the financing that supports them, and to secure our borders against known and suspected terrorists who wish to enter. The measures, some previously announced in the budget, include more money for Canada spy agency and more scrutiny of foreign visitors. Among those on hand for the pre-election announcement at a north-end hotel were victims of terrorism, including Cindy Barkway, whose husband Dave died in the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Centre in New York. During his speech, Harper repeated a familiar refrain: that his Conservatives are the only party that can be counted on to protect the security interests of Canadians. I truly hope that Canadians will be safer from these combined efforts, Barkway said to applause. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
