Withe the coming of Liberal Party to power, will it help we back loggers?. May be we should seek the help of these 17 liberal party members to bail us out from 11 years of our agony. What do you think Bro?warmest said:Liberals sweep Canada polls with Punjabi help

(1) Nineteen Canadians of Indian origin have been elected to the Canadian parliament late on Monday night. This is the highest ever presence of MPs with Indian roots in the House of Commons in Canada. As many as 17 are of Punjabi origin. In 2011, only eight Indian-origin MPs were elected to the House of Commons all of whom were Punjabis.
(2) Fifteen or 8.15% of his 184 MPs are Punjabis. Indian-Canadians make up over 3% of Canada's population of about 35 million.
(3) Compared to the 24 candidates of Punjabi-origin in the previous general elections in 2011, this time 43 were in the fray, including one independent. There were 11 constituencies where Punjabi-origin candidates from either of the three main parties, Liberal, Conservative and NDP, were pitted against each other.
Punjabis make history in Canada federal elections

(1) History was made in Canada in the 42nd federal elections, results of which were out today. As many as 18 Punjabis have been elected as Members of the House of Commons (Parliament) of Canada. The number exceeds the figure of those elected from Punjab for the Lok Sabha (13).
(2) Of the 44 Indo-Canadian candidates, 20 are elected to that country's Parliament. This is the maximum number of Indo-Canadians ever elected. In 2008, 10 and in 2011, 8 Indo-Canadians were elected. First time in 1993, three Indo-Canadians made to Parliament.
(3) The 17 Indo-Canadians belong to the Liberal Party, which gained a clear majority in the 338-member House.
I think it will greatly help us. Yes, we should seek their help, if it is not forthcoming. I guess they will be more than willing to help us. Good days are ahead for us.pranx125 said:Withe the coming of Liberal Party to power, will it help we back loggers?.

Dear hamid22,hamid22 said:Dear Warmest !
I read all your comments which clearly seems that how kind and honest you are. thanks for your positive thoughts and comments which raised our hope.
Actually I am one pre-Feb 2008 applicant that followed all the rule by CIC from 2007 to 2012. wasted most of the opportunities only with the dream to immigrate legally to Canada but passing of BILL C-38 destroyed all of my dreams which is completely unfair and I am also not the litigants because I always had faith to God and my heart says that I will receive justice one day. since the conservative government who demolished the dreams of 280000 people, his court and judicial system will never give justice. my only hope was to the new election and I believe that finally one day our voice will be heard by the people of Canada and God will give us justice.
Once again thanks from your kind words.
Thanks for your reply Mohawk.Mohawk said:Hi warmest,
Like all the members of this forum, let's rejoice and congratulate the designated Prime Minister. Let's hope we see the change, compassion, and fairness that he has been advocating during his campaign.
To follow up on the many questions that you raised, I am absolutely in favour of a coordinated effort, by us the litigants of this forum. But for now, I think we should wait for the outcome from Justice Russell.
Regards,
Mohawk
Good morning warmest,warmest said:Thanks for your reply Mohawk.
As you may be aware, if Justice Russell rules in favour of we litigants it will only apply to we litigants and not to non-litigants. Hence I am asking non-litigants (including those ex-litigants who have already lost their case in courts) to unite as a group to get their concerns voiced and resolved. I am only volunteering to coordinate that group which will be a 'not-for-profit' group.
If non-litigants (including ex-litigants) don't unite and raise a red-flag by now, they may go unnoticed. It may be too late for them to bounce back after Justice Russell gives his decision to we litigants. Should we not support our non-litigant friends by now and stand up for them at this point of time as they are not represented by anyone? What do you think? Feel free to express your opinions. I request other members of this forum to give their opinions as well.
I would wish non-litigants and ex-litigants (those who took the services of lawyers other than Tim Leahy and lost their case in either the Federal Court or Federal Court of Appeal or Supreme Court of Canada) to come together as a group so that they can get a better deal. Unity is strength. About 80000 files have been closed by Section 87.4 of Bill-38. Out of this, applicants of only 1300 files have sought the services of lawyer Tim Leahy. The applicants of remaining 78700 files remain as either non-litigants or ex-litigants. By now, due to many reasons, many of them would have lost interest in immigrating to Canada. But still, I guess, there would be a significant number of applicants who would like to give it a try. Even if they are about 1000 or 2000 in number, they could make a big impact. I would wish them to be united and get represented at the earliest. For that to happen, why don't we facilitate through this forum? That could be a small help that we could do for them.Shajitmathew said:What willbe the use. R u planning to file a new case? or to appeal to the government? what can be done except filing a case? Who can convince government to revoke C-34? And most importantly, what will be the out come of Tims case, in whih I am also a litigant. Let us pray to the god. Only he can help us who are helpless at this moment.
Thanks a lot for your understanding Mohawk.Mohawk said:Good morning warmest,
As I mentioned previously, your idea is commendable, and I am 100% for it. However, our case (The mandamus) is still not resolved, we are still awaiting the ruling of Justice Russell. All I am saying is not to jump the gun. As a matter of fact why the non-litigants haven't expressed themselves on this forum so far?
I suggest that all the litigants from Mr. Tim Leahy/Mr. Rocco Galati, make themselves known so that we can approach the lawyers and seek their advice on the way forward. And for the rest it will be a matter for them to decide whether to embark on a fresh litigation.
Have a pleasant day,
Mohawk
Are you a litigant, drnaeed? If not, how can we help you?drnaeed said:If we are afraid of "NO", let me remind that we are already a victim to "NO" and now we have an another opportunity to make the things in our favor and remember, "God helps those who help themselves".
May God be with us.
