...last week, Canadians--specifically voters in the linchpin province of Ontario--decided that nine months of Joe Clark was enough. They came to that conclusion despite clamor that the Conservatives had not been given a chance to govern, and despite a Tory advertising campaign that attempted to blame the country's problems on the 11-year Trudeau administration...
...Ayatullah insisted that the hostages were not protected by diplomatic immunity because the U.S. embassy was not a proper embassy. Said he: "It was a den of espionage, and they are spies.

Such a purge would violate U.S. immigration laws, which say that deportations must be handled on a case-by-case basis, subject to review by the courts.
