[bmaj7]

now why would saudi nationals 9/11 be singled out? Bush loves them

[TheMiniClouds]

Don't worry it's one step at a time and one success after another. We need to be patient but never let our rights gone with the winds.

[shoorish]

I hope they win and win BIG. I hope People see the truth about these (residency training programs) and how badly we get treated and neglected. We continue to have no voice because we have no support system and a Saudi Bureau that is dysfunctional.

[shoorish]

Racism is alive and well in all these hospitals and these programs through Saudi Arabia. canadia gets easy money and gets a bunch of (second class) doctors who have no rights in their eyes and thus we get treated like Shit and good luck complaining! I tried it and now these guys...

[shoorish]

Well,

I am a Saudi doctor who was discharged from the QE2 Hospital here in Halifax after I was sexually assaulted on top of being discriminated against. I took my case to the human rights commission here in Halifax 4 years ago after I went to the police to report my assault...

The outcome?

My human rights complaint was "Dismissed" by the commissioners and the police closed my case without telling me causing the human rights case to get dismissed due to lack of evidence.
