Okay everybody; let us all get out our boxes of Kleenex and have a pity party for ex-KGB agent Mikhail Lennikov, and his family. It’s what they would want Canadians to do.
Why else would his wife Irina tell the media that her family is having a tough time coping with the fact that her family (more specifically her husband) is being booted out of the country? Bottom line is that she wants Canadians to feel sorry for her, sorry enough to raise a big stink with the Canadian government, hoping that that will motivate an elected official enough to take on her cause.
Too effing bad for her that nobody really gives a shit about them, as would be the case in most if not all instances where people act fraudulently and deceptive on an immigration application.
The Lennikovs can brag that they have a handful of Federal MPs “in their corner,” but at the end of the day how much influence is somebody like Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh really going to have in this particular matter.
And, that Angus Reid poll showing that Canadians are sympathetic too their plight; huh, get effing real man, British Columbia only makes up a small portion of the Canadian population.
Despite what that poll says, nobody east of British Columbia effing cares about the plight of the Lennikovs, and the few that do, well they are simply put, uneffingCanadian, and if Osama bin Laden was captured in the Rockies, you can bet they would be siding with him.
No sir, the Angus Reid poll is wrong. Most Canadians don’t sympathize with the Lennikov family and anybody reading this blog article knows that.
Besides, as Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan (the only person now who can prevent the Lennikov’s deportation) said, “Removals are made on the basis of law and decisions of the courts, not public opinion polls.”
Oh, and just so you know; I don’t care if Mrs. Lennikov has to take a second job to help make ends meet.
I don’t care that her son will have to go to Vancouver Community College next year because he can’t afford to go to university.
I don’t care about her greatest regret, her son’s sacrifice.
I don’t care that her schedule is so chaotic that she has little time to visit her husband, who to avoid being kicked out of the country, found sanctuary in a church.
Speaking of that, I wonder how often the Lennikovs actually went to church.
I don’t care that Irina Lennikov’s husband worries about her.
He should have worried about her a long time ago, like when he brought her into Canada under false pretenses. He knew then that if he was ever caught for fraudulently trying to remain in Canada, they (as in him, his wife and infant son) were toast, but yet he threw caution to the wind. Yeah, Mikhail worries about his wife all right.
I don’t care if the Lennikov family is struggling to cope with the reality of separation or not. I don’t care if she finds it overwhelming either. Laws are laws and they must be enforced.
What else can I say about the Lennikov family except that, “IT SUCKS TO BE THEM!

How effing vicious you are…

Part of my charm Val.
Question for you Val, “How do you feel about the, what is it now 17 boat loads of illegal immigrants, caught off the shores of Australia?”
You know what, if you were to ask me that question, my answer wouldn’t be nice, in fact it would be venomous. Know what I mean?
There are proper channels and hoops to jump through to be able to successfully migrate to another country, and being of good character ranks right up there when it comes to being allowed to stay in Canada.
Lennikov isn’t nor has he ever been good enough for Canada, and he knew it, that’s why he left out the fact that he was former KGB when he applied to become a permanent residence of Canada. He misled Canada from the onset.
I don’t feel sorry for him anymore or any less than I feel for his wife and son. He was ordered out of the country a long time ago, and he effed around and effed around to avoid the inevitable.
Now he is hiding out in a church, and in a last ditch effort, and with the hope the Canadian government will show some mercy, his wife is telling her sob story all over again.
I have reason to be vicious when it comes to the Lennikov family, and it has nothing to do with the fact that in person, I’m actually a very nice guy. So people say anyway. Some of them read my stuff some of them don’t.
I don’t know how many Queenslanders read my stuff Val, but I do know you’re not the first one. How did you manage to find this blog if you don’t mind me asking.

CG is correct! The decision of the Canadian Federal Court should mean something, and the KGB agent should be deported!
If Canadians don’t enforce and respect their own laws, who will?
KGB (now FSB ) was a dangerous tool of a dictatorial regime. It was not a Country Club full of friendly people.
Under the Soviets, for many, it was a prestige to be a part of this Group of Selected people with special trainings and privileges.
Repression, fear and force were the tactics applied by the KGB agents.
It is ridiculous that this man is even in a church. Religion was considered back then a “poison” for the masses. Mr. Lennikov should go home!
The law should be enforced! Canada should not be played like that by a deceitful agent of a Foreign State.
For eight years, the Canadian taxpayers carried Mr. Lennikov on their shoulders. The court procedures, the interviews, the investigations etc.
Apply the Canadian Law! This is the right thing to do, and the only thing to do!
