No One Is Illegal-Toronto Demonstration May 5 2007

On Saturday May 5, 2007 over 2500 immigrants, refugees and supporters took to the streets of Toronto's west end to demand a national regularization program and a moratorium on detentions and deportations as well as access to city services regardless of status. The loud and energetic march, which included entire families, began at Christie Pits Park in little Korea and marched through several immigrant neighbourhoods including little Ethiopia and little Portugal to end at Dufferin Grove Park for a lively community concert and fair.

We want to thank K'Naan and his manager Sol Guy for donating the track "My Old Home" to the upcoming No One Is Illegal Benefit CD we are hoping to release in the Summer of 2007.

Jason, If you dont keep these low life cheats and mooches out of Canada your won't be getting elected next time. I recently read a report which shows that many Pakistani men were claiming their sisters as their wives to bring them into Canada. I understand that Mohamed fucked his son's (Ziad) wife Zaynab whom he had been peeping on, molested children but in this day and age Pakistani men committing incest with their sisters is too much.

@mystic33sea Wow.. such strong statements. Perhaps your case is unique & hopefully it works out, yet I wouldn't go as far as to call them racist assholes..

Perhaps you can consult an immigration lawyer to help you out.. Just don't hate..

@skwinkle79 You are right, we should fight for our right, they cant reign forever...their time will come!

@Robis2349 You are so wrong..my husband is Canadian and we've tried FOUR times for a visitors visa for me to visit Canada and got denied all four times....They're racist assholes!!

People will fight for their rights wherever they are. if you are used to remain silent and let your goverment treat you like an idiot that is your problem. Today is them tomorrow it will be you. Look at what they are doing to the auto workers in Oshawa. And they are not even immigrants.

I'm curious as to how the Green/NDP/Liberal types can rant and rave about urban sprawl--a REAL issue--and then press for more and more immigrants. Maybe "No One Is Illegal" is actually funded by developers and real estate speculators...just a thought.

The opening line here is nothin but a pure lie. "Unust immigration system, that discriminate against people of color?" Canada has one of the most open, and fairest immigration systems in the world.
