When is the law of the land...
...not the law?
-- QUEBEC CITY -- A retired Swedish professor and his wife who suffers from "morbid obesity" have been temporarily allowed to remain in Canada because it will be too expensive and possibly unsafe to deport her.**********
The 310-pound Malle suffers from "morbid obesity and is in bed all day," the court was told, adding she has been bedridden for six years and doctors visit her at home.
The couple were granted a two-year extension to their visitor's visa on appeal to the court.

A Calgary operator of a marijuana grow-op who preyed on new immigrants and was the source of some pot sent to Toronto has won a legal victory in his fight to stay in Canada.*
De Bing Li, 38, of Vietnam, was jailed for 16 months in February 2006 after pleading guilty to production of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.
Li claimed he did not know what he was doing was illegal.

If they are independently wealthy enough to live here and pay for all btheir medical costs it doesn't bother me that much if they apply for PR.
However we transfer people on ventilators with a variety of dangerous injuries by air ambulance to and from Buffalo all the time. We get some people from as far as South Africa. I don't know their case but it sounds a little blown up.

"langmann says... pay for all their medical costs"
see, here's the thing...
"she has been bedridden for six years and doctors visit her at home"
we moved out to hastings county and it took six years just to get a family physician. any time we've ever had to use the emerg, it basically chews up half a day.
maybe we could look at solving those two issues before we send doctors around to this woman's home?

I don't know why they can't put her on a ship.
