<![CDATA[<p>OTTAWA - After being abruptly escorted out of a Conservative party rally and having her guest pass torn to shreds, Awish Aslam was both upset and confused.</p>

<p>What had she done that Sunday evening to be removed from the hall where she hoped to see the prime minister speak?</p>

<p>This happened to me!<br />
The exact situation occurred in Stratford PEI when Paul Martin the then prime minister come to speak to island supporters. I was invited to the event and given an official invitation by the island liberal community. I have been a business owner operator in this community for over thirty years, The RCMP gestapo approached myself as well others at the event and said " Today you are not in" I said "excuse me?" and he repeated "Today you are not in, you will have to leave now"<br />
Perhaps they were afraid I would speak on the cultural economy<br />
Seriously!.<br />
 This is a problem our elected officials must deal with. <br />
I was a Paul Martin supporter but this experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth.<br />
All parties are guilty of this profiling practice and rather than throw rocks at any one group we should reign in the policemen who single out individual tax payers in an attempt to control these events with little reasons other than the way you look or who you were photographed with. <br />
I did complain to the liberal party at the time but received no reasoned for the action.<br />
