Of course, the fact is that Maher Arar's case isn't at all isolated, and then you have variations and different degrees that amount to much the same thing: Muslim miscarries in cell after grilling at airport Sunday Herald - March 13 A MUSLIM woman detained by officials at Glasgow Airport suffered a miscarriage in an immigration cell, the Sunday Herald can reveal.

Plenty of Canadians from all walks of life and all ethnicities are paying a lot of attention to how our people are being treated when we travel abroad. Countries that pull the kind of BS described above or in the Arar article are now being viewed with extreme disdain -- and with good reason.
