[Goanet] Canada Changes
About 50 years ago immigration policy was based on whites only entry. Then Pierre Trudeau whose international fame matched his domestic popularity changed it forever. Today, the biggest group of immigrants are Asian - Chinese, Filipino, Indian and Pakistani. With the current Stephen Harper, things are a-changing again with regard to the type of immigrants. Not based on color anymore but on the skills required for the Canadian economy. Good knowledge of either English or French are critical for consideration unlike previously. Also proposals are afoot to revoke Candian citizenship if one is convicted of terrorism, mass violence or treason in any country, has been sentenced to 5 years or more for this anywhere and has dual citizenship. Now the dual citizenship in this context, is a tricky concept. It appears that for example if your father was born in Egypt, you automatically have Egyptian citizenship whether you applied for it ir not and if you were a convicted terrorist, you would lose your Candian citizenship if such a law sees the light of day. Imagine Augustin Fernandes a Goan, becoming a Canadian citizen and giving up his Indian citizenship at the time. The new law will not cancel your Canadian citizenship if it will result in you being stateless. But let's say our Augustin is rightly or wrongly convicted of terrorism when he is visiting Bali and a bombing occurs. So far no problem. He is still Cabadian. But someone in Foreign Affairs in Ottawa discovers that due to current Portuguese law, Gustin is Portuguese also since he was born in Goa in 1960. Before you can say Jack Robinson, Gustin is stripped of his Canadian citizenship and packed off to Lisbon. This may seem a little far fetched but if the proposals become law, more than Gustins may become victims. All those OCIs who took that status merely to avoid applying for Indian visas to visit India everytime will be sailing in the same Canadian citizenship cancellation boat. Not all Gustins or Canadian OCIs are likely to be convicted of treason, terrorism or mass violence anywhere, but I am just pointing out the technical possibility. Roland. Sent from Samsung Mobile
Re: [Goanet] AAP broom has only bristled to deceive in Goa
When GSRP was formed, one businessman Goan asked me. " who is in the party?" My response what "No ex-Politicians". With a smile on his face, he said "good. keep it that way" GSRP never opened up it's membership. True to it's founding unwritten rule, no ex-MLA has found his way into this party. It took in life members who volunteered to join the party oly after they signed a declaration that they have read the Party's constitution and it's road map. But sad to say that even most of the founding members [16 in all] were found WANTING. A couple of them were sacked. One of them never showed up after the Party was Registered with the EC. Another two worked against the Party full time. One of them was and is a full time NCP ( or Dr. Wilfred D'Souza's valet). Why am I saying this? Because, as serious this Party is, it couldn't fully gauge it's founding members. Some of them were really rotten apples. When AAP opened it's membership, GSRP knew that garbage would flow in and the stink would start shortly there after. 14 years on, GSRP has a trickle coming in. But this trickle will stay and work for the cause of Goa and Goans.

Disillusionment, conmen and disreputable folks as members, no collective will to fight the incumbent government and visible lethargy are threatening to turn the Aam Aadmi Party in Goa all that the outfit has promised not to be, in its more celebrated and successful Delhi model. Rajashree Nagarsekar, convenor of the AAP in Goa, is candid enough to admit that the party needed to take a reality check. "Frankly we are facing problems. People of not very good (social) standing have begun joining us. Some of our members are in fact life members of other political parties. These issues have to be tackled, much before the Lok Sabha polls," Nagarsekar said. Just how lacklustre the AAP is in Goa can be gauged by the impact made during the nationwide membership drive which Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced Jan 10. While the nationwide target set by the AAP was 1 crore, Goa's contribution was a measly 4,000. The number, according to an AAP official, only accounted for ordinary members who registered during local recruitment drives and doesn't include those who could have signed up online. Poor numbers apart, party sources said another basic glitch the AAP has been unable to resolve until Friday was the election of a formal state level committee. "The committee was formed yesterday. Since last year we only had an ad hoc committee in place," Nagarsekar said, adding that without a proper organizational structure, it was virtually impossible to set and agenda and get going. More than a month since the political rekindling after the sensational December victory in Delhi, what the AAP has in store for Goa is anybody's guess. Last year, an AAP member did say that casinos, real estate and mining would be a key part of the AAP campaign portfolio. But the AAP's inaction on all these fronts has stumped many, including those within. "We were expecting some kind of guidance from the winning team in Delhi. But it looks like they are so busy in Delhi that they hardly have any time for Goa," an AAP active member told IANS. While quantity is a key shortcoming for AAP Goa, sourcing quality members is also a problem, admits Nagarsekar. At first glance, AAP Goa looks like a consortium of folks who have been a part of Goa's active civil society, including some spoken of in whispers of compromising popular struggles and even indulging in blackmail. According to Nagarsekar, weeding out such members has been difficult as they have been recommended by some high-profile members. Speaking of star recruitment, this is one block which the new party appears to have blasted off from in quick time. Recruiting well known activist-doctor Oscar Rebello and singer Remo Fernandes not only got the AAP goodwill but mileage too. But in Nagarsekar's own words, the party has not been able to cash in on it. "A lot of time is lost. There has been confusion going on for sometime. We are not getting enough people to commit time to doing the real ground work for the party," she said. The AAP is in power in Delhi and has stirred interest in places like Haryana, Amethi and Mumbai. But if urban Goa is the measure of the new political party's preparedness for the bigger Lok Sabha picture, then Team Kejriwa

[Goanet] Proposed petrol pump fuels anger among Anjuna locals
The following article appeared in today’s (9/2/2014) oHeraldo: Proposed petrol pump fuels anger among Anjuna locals By Gerard Lobo(bur...@herald-goa.com) TIVIM: Storing large quantities of flammable liquid in close proximity to residential areas has always been a matter of concern and hence, moves to set up a petrol pump at Anjuna has fuelled sharp reactions from residents in the area. What has also angered locals is the unusually swift response of the Anjuna Panchayat in granting a construction license barely 24 hours after the applicant submitted the documents. “We don’t want the petrol pump in our area. This is a residential area consisting of ancestral houses which are over 150 years old. There are senior citizens and children living in the neighbourhood. The road is very narrow and is an accident-prone zone. The petrol pump will only lead to noise, smoke and dust pollution, while our wells could get polluted,” feared a resident, Ascension D’Souza. Voicing similar apprehensions, another resident told Herald that there are five wells located within a distance of 20-30 metres from the petrol bunkers. “If any incident takes place, our lives and our homes will be wiped out. The residents of the area were not taken into confidence. What is also surprising is that the Anjuna Panchayat approved the construction license within 24 hours of submission, while it takes months to approve of projects submitted by the locals.” “A few days back, the JCB was seized by forest officials after a local complained about illegal felling of trees, but permission was given for the petrol pump,” the resident said. When contacted, ward member Narayan Mayekar admitted that the proposed petrol had divided the community, but claimed that the Panchayat had no option but to grant the construction license. “Some people are against the petrol pump, while some others are in favour. Since technical clearances were issued by all departments concerned, we granted the construction license. Had we not given them the license, the party could have approached the BDO or the court,” reasoned Mayekar. When contacted, Anjuna Deputy Sarpanch Savio Almeida agreed that Panchayat had passed the license within 24 hours. “In fact, it took us just five minutes to approve the license. The file was submitted to the Panchayat on January 14, 2014, and was passed the next day. The license was issued to the party on January 18. We issued the construction license to the party, as all his documents are in order and added that he had no intention to disrupt peace in the neighbourhood.” “All departments concerned had inspected the site and following their approval, the file was passed by Anjuna Panchayat. The IOC is very strict in its rules and they will not hesitate to terminate the contract if they happen to find any fault with the project, said Naik.” “There is no pollution due to the petrol pump and the wells are quite far away from the site. Health authorities inspected the area and gave us their approval.” I am a Goan and I want peace to prevail in the neighbourhood. I obtained the permission of all departments, before deciding to set up the petrol pump. I have even left the necessary setbacks on all sides of the petrol pump as per the requirements of authorities concerned,” he added. - COMMENTS: We, the residents of Gaumvaddi, are doing our best and will fight tooth and nail until installation of the petrol pump in our locality is stopped. As per the Dy. Town Planner, the said property in Survey No.536/2 is zoned as “Settlement Zone”, which is a residential area. As such, it cannot be converted to set up a petrol pump, as it is dangerous to life and property. Suggestions, if any, which can help us succeed in this matter are most welcome.

[Goanet] AAP broom has only bristled to deceive in Goa
My Story on IANS about Goa's tryst with AAP and how a good opportunity is in the process of being squandered Rgds http://in.news.yahoo.com/aap-broom-bristled-deceive-goa-081004303.html AAP broom has bristled to deceive in Goa Panaji, Feb 9 (IANS) The AAP may just have to switch from a broom, its party symbol, to a whip, if it wants to get its already demoralized house in order in Goa. Disillusionment, conmen and disreputable folks as members, no collective will to fight the incumbent government and visible lethargy are threatening to turn the Aam Aadmi Party in Goa all that the outfit has promised not to be, in its more celebrated and successful Delhi model. Rajashree Nagarsekar, convenor of the AAP in Goa, is candid enough to admit that the party needed to take a reality check. "Frankly we are facing problems. People of not very good (social) standing have begun joining us. Some of our members are in fact life members of other political parties. These issues have to be tackled, much before the Lok Sabha polls," Nagarsekar said. Just how lacklustre the AAP is in Goa can be gauged by the impact made during the nationwide membership drive which Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced Jan 10. While the nationwide target set by the AAP was 1 crore, Goa's contribution was a measly 4,000. The number, according to an AAP official, only accounted for ordinary members who registered during local recruitment drives and doesn't include those who could have signed up online. Poor numbers apart, party sources said another basic glitch the AAP has been unable to resolve until Friday was the election of a formal state level committee. "The committee was formed yesterday. Since last year we only had an ad hoc committee in place," Nagarsekar said, adding that without a proper organizational structure, it was virtually impossible to set and agenda and get going. More than a month since the political rekindling after the sensational December victory in Delhi, what the AAP has in store for Goa is anybody's guess. Last year, an AAP member did say that casinos, real estate and mining would be a key part of the AAP campaign portfolio. But the AAP's inaction on all these fronts has stumped many, including those within. "We were expecting some kind of guidance from the winning team in Delhi. But it looks like they are so busy in Delhi that they hardly have any time for Goa," an AAP active member told IANS. While quantity is a key shortcoming for AAP Goa, sourcing quality members is also a problem, admits Nagarsekar. At first glance, AAP Goa looks like a consortium of folks who have been a part of Goa's active civil society, including some spoken of in whispers of compromising popular struggles and even indulging in blackmail. According to Nagarsekar, weeding out such members has been difficult as they have been recommended by some high-profile members. Speaking of star recruitment, this is one block which the new party appears to have blasted off from in quick time. Recruiting well known activist-doctor Oscar Rebello and singer Remo Fernandes not only got the AAP goodwill but mileage too. But in Nagarsekar's own words, the party has not been able to cash in on it. "A lot of time is lost. There has been confusion going on for sometime. We are not getting enough people to commit time to doing the real ground work for the party," she said. The AAP is in power in Delhi and has stirred interest in places like Haryana, Amethi and Mumbai. But if urban Goa is the measure of the new political party's preparedness for the bigger Lok Sabha picture, then Team Kejriwal's broom may bristle, only to deceive.
