The Canadian Border Services Agency and the RCMP in B.C. have made what is believed to be the biggest bust of the hallucinogenic tranquillizer ketamine in Canadian history.

The narcotic, which police said is used as a date-rape drug and as an ingredient in ecstasy, was discovered Dec. 7 in a shipment that had arrived in Vancouver by ship from Hong Kong, RCMP spokesman Const. Michael McLaughlin said in a release Wednesday.

Documentation accompanying the shipment identified the goods as 402 cartons of coffee mugs. But when CBSA officers examined the six-metre-long shipping container, they noticed discrepancies in the X-ray images, McLaughlin said.

He said a full examination of the container found 318 cartons of coffee mugs and 84 boxes that contained both coffee mugs and vacuum-sealed bags containing more than 1,003 kilograms of a white crystalline powder identified as ketamine.
Drug shipment valued at $15M

Tests performed by border services officers indicated that the bags contained ketamine hydrochloride. A total of 1003.9 kilograms of ketamine was seized, said McLaughlin.

The seizure puts a big dent in the trafficking of the drug, according to RCMP Supt. Brian Cantera.

"The more than 1,000 kilograms here that has been seized represents more than one million doses," said Cantera. "This seizure represents more than $15 million and that is clearly taken out of the profits of drug traffickers."

McLaughlin said three of the accused, including Tak Ming Chan, 53, Yiu Ming Kwok, 58, and Wing Kee Ng, 58, are Chinese nationals and have been remanded until Feb. 8. All three face charges of importing a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Also in custody and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking are Hoi Sing Lai, 54, and Hin Cheung Lau, 42, of Vancouver.
A number of rifles and a handgun also were found during the arrests.

Last year, 1,800 kilograms of ketamine was seized in B.C.

Follow the money to illegal drug trafficers, human trafficers and slave trade..

The problem, Canadian citizenship is valued so far below the USA. For $250,000 to $500,000 you can buy your way into Canada through what is called a "economic citizenship program."

If somone want's to buy my citizenship... they can have it for $250,000 and then I will turn around and buy a new one in Belize for $50,000 and still have $200,000 for a nice home and living expenses.. lol

[SIZE=-1]Entrepreneur Category[/SIZE][SIZE=-1][/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]An Entrepreneur applicant is someone who has the ability to establish, purchase, or make a substantial investment in a business venture in Canada. This venture, which the person will manage on an active basis, must result in the creation or maintenance of employment for one or more Canadians. The Entrepreneur category accommodates experienced business people whose background is oriented towards the management of small to medium sized business ventures. Although neither the Act nor the Regulations stipulate exact business investment capital amounts, a minimum net worth of $250,000 USD is usually required to qualify as an Entrepreneur. The bulk of this net worth must be easily transferable to Canada, as a minimum of $150,000 to $200,000 USD is required to provide for capital for the business venture.[/SIZE][SIZE=-1][/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]In the past, some Entrepreneur applicants who made their investment prior to landing received unconditional visas. It is now the policy of Canadian Immigration officials to apply the "terms and conditions" mentioned previously to all Entrepreneurs (and accompanying dependants). These terms and conditions must be met within two years of arriving in Canada. Entrepreneur Applicants also have the additional condition of continually reporting to officials during the two year period. Conditional visas are designed to provide all Entrepreneur applicants a chance to establish in Canada and to consider a number of investments. Once an Entrepreneur applicant has fulfilled the terms and conditions, he may then apply to have them removed. However, if the terms and conditions are not met, the Entrepreneur applicant and his family may be stripped of their Permanent Residence status and deported. The Entrepreneur condition to be "full-time actively managing only the Canadian business" may be unattractive to applicants who wish to spend a significant amount of time outside of Canada.[/SIZE][SIZE=-1][/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Investor Category[/SIZE][SIZE=-1][/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]The Investor category is designed for the high net worth businessperson who wishes to invest in a larger business venture but is prepared to rely on others to oversee his investment. The Investor category allows for an investment by a businessperson who possesses a net worth of approximately $500,000 USD and makes a substantial investment in an approved project. While the minimum investment period is five years, the minimum investment amount is approximately $250,000 USD [/SIZE][SIZE=-1][/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]The actual out-of-pocket investment may be reduced to $70,000 USD by using available financing options. An Investor applicant does not need to live in the province in which he makes his investment. Nor does he need to become actively involved in the management of the business venture to be issued an unconditional Permanent Resident Visa. This avoids any problems associated with "terms and conditions".[/SIZE][SIZE=-1][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Once permanent residence is secured, then an immigrant can apply for naturalized Canadian citizenship after three years of residence.[/SIZE][SIZE=-1][/SIZE]

If law was fair to the victim than we wouldn't have the term vigilante justice in our language. More often or not, it's the criminal who is protected and given a vacation to a correctional facility where he may still have access to drugs.

This kind of idiocy was the reason why most Germans voted Communist and Nazi in the 1920s.
