STUDENT passports ,HOUSING ,YOUNG adults - Abstract
Canada's immigration policies have been linked to a housing crisis and strained social services. The government's admission of too many people without a plan for housing has resulted in tent encampments, high rent, and limited access to healthcare. The Liberal government initially denied responsibility but later acknowledged their policies played a role. This crisis has caused a decline in support for the Liberals and an increase in anti-immigration sentiment. Canada's history of immigration has included exclusion and racism, but in recent years, the country has been seen as inclusive. However, the recent crisis has shifted public opinion. The Conservative Party has moved towards mainstream views on immigration, while the Liberal Party has adopted more pro-immigration policies. The Trudeau government appointed Dominic Barton to advocate for increasing the number of permanent immigrants each year. The Liberal Party has made it easier to immigrate, but this has led to a population growth that surpasses available housing and raises concerns about accommodating newcomers. Critics argue that high levels of immigration may not be the solution to the housing crisis and could hinder economic productivity. Policymakers should address these concerns and ensure Canada can provide for new Canadians before bringing them into the country. [Extracted from the article]

This article from Maclean's recounts the case of Oguzhan Sert, a teenager who pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder charges in September 2022. The prosecution argued that Sert's crimes were motivated by an ideology associated with the incel subculture, which they claimed constituted a terrorist threat. The defense argued that Sert was a confused and isolated individual who lacked support and guidance. Sert was ultimately sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of parole after 10 years. The case raises questions about the definition of terrorism and the treatment of both perpetrators and victims in the justice system. [Extracted from the article]

"When you start doing these tests, you open one door to try and solve something, then five more open" Lee Gaddie-Anderson, who owns a house-cleaning business in Qu'Appelle, just east of Regina, got a call from Lerat after her daughter did a DNA test via Ancestry in 2019; it turned out that Gaddie-Anderson and Lerat were second cousins. ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY IN 2016, Dean Lerat and his wife, Julie, went for dinner at Piper's Pub in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Lerat's genealogy work unearthed one especially shocking revelation for Lee Gaddie-Anderson (above, with her dog, Panda) - that her mother had been in a residential school with Lerat's grandmother Misty Lerat regularly visits the home of his aunt Rosaline Delorme, Cowessess' knowledge keeper, for help with his ancestry research. Gaddie-Anderson's burgeoning friendship with Lerat produced yet another bombshell: his grandmother Misty divulged that Gaddie-Anderson's mother had been in a residential school - the same one Misty was sent to.

Emmerzael suggested that de Ruiter might be the messiah prophesied in the Book of Isaiah; de Ruiter claimed Jesus had appeared to him thousands of times and "transferred who he is over to me." In a civil suit against de Ruiter, Benita von Sass framed their relationship in sinister terms: "The defendant convinced me to sexually submit to him, reminding me that this was 'God's will' " I n the mid-2000s, a young woman named Anina - whose surname I've withheld at the request of her family - attended one of de Ruiter's meetings in England. In the late 2000s, de Ruiter began a relationship with Leigh Ann Angermann (above), who is also facing sexual assault charges; she's accused of facilitating encounters between de Ruiter and other women.

In January of 2022, we stopped doing public food drives, and we no longer accept any food donations from the public. We distribute food in two different ways: directly to our clients at our distribution hubs (this accounts for 60 per cent of our outbound food this year) and indirectly through community agency partners like women's shelters, after-school programs and soup kitchens on the Downtown East Side. A couple of months ago, there was a luncheon at the Burnaby Board of Trade and David Eby, B.C.'s premier, said that his government would invest $200 million to ease food insecurity, with much of that going to farmers so they can grow more food. But I've always been a numbers guy, good at math, so when I ran the three kitchens in the club, I had all sorts of charts showing the growth of membership, the growth in food sales, the labour costs and food cost percentages.

Because Canada has spent the past three-quarters of a century putting most of its housing eggs in the homeownership basket, the country hasn't built enough new rental housing. In 2012, when the benchmark property price in metro Vancouver was $638,000, Yale University economics professor and housing analyst Robert Shiller predicted a crash: "Just because it's a nice place to live doesn't mean prices are going to go up forever", he said. A major goal of the Squamish housing strategy is allowing their members to build the kind of housing wealth that has historically been out of reach for First Nations - not to mention building homes for thousands of people in a city experiencing a dire shortage of housing. There is too little housing, far too little affordable housing and far too many investors bidding houses up and out of reach, creating a rapidly widening divide between Canada's housing haves and have-nots.

At one point, the band played Iran's unofficial anthem, "Ey Iran", a patriotic song dating back to the Second World War, which pays homage to the land, culture and history of the country - and is pointedly free of religious references. On September 13, Amini and her family were visiting Tehran when they were stopped by the country's Guidance Patrol - the government's morality police, who enforce public behaviour in compliance with ultra-strict Islamic orthodoxy.

Daisy Dulay, a cardiologist in Victoria, has spoken about how the primary care crisis is affecting specialist physicians; for example, they must try to manage medical issues outside of their expertise when their patients don't have a family physician.

FEATURES WHEN ANGELA MACDONALD self-published Juliette & John: The Perfect Recipe in 2014, she marketed the cookbook as a delightful slice of culturally diverse Cape Breton. Angela was a member of the Saker family, who were well-known in Cape Breton for the Spaghetti Benders, the restaurant the three daughters - Angela and her sisters, Nadia Saker and Georgette Young - ran near Bras d'Or Lake, in a quiet, forested section of the Trans-Canada Highway about 30 minutes northwest of Sydney. Georgette offered invoices for the sale of meatballs, but when Power asked if she had a permit for the sale of meat, Georgette indicated they were "meatless meatballs." While Angela, Nadia and Lydia were associated with one or two of the businesses, Georgette acted as bookkeeper for all the companies under audit. [Extracted from the article]

FEATURES Svyatik Artemenko travelled from Guelph, Ontario, to Ukraine at the end of January to play professional soccer. My unit was retasked with capturing Russian agents, identified by the SBU, who were operating all around the Odesa region, sending information back to Russia about Ukrainian troop deployments or weak points in our defences, anything the Russians could use to plan a new offensive. His life's journey - from Odesa on the Black Sea coast, to Winnipeg as an immigrant, then back to Odesa as a soldier - is quintessentially Canadian. On my one mission behind Russian lines near the end of March, I witnessed Russian-speaking Ukrainians in a village near Mykolaiv being forced to board military trucks heading east, either into Russian-controlled parts of Ukraine or on to Russia itself.

If Steer has a nemesis, it is Shaun Tadei, a senior DFO officer based in Nanaimo, where Steer lived until recently. FEATURES Just before midnight on March 1, 2020, with a steady rain pit-patting onto Vancouver Harbour, the Sea Bus was making one of its final runs of the day to the North Shore when the captain noticed a small vessel directly ahead. Like Scott, the elder Steer is notorious among West Coast fishermen and Fisheries officers: he has a lengthy record of Fisheries Act charges and convictions up and down the coast. With Steer's cell number, Tadei's team was able to get a production order allowing them to view Steer's contacts and communications over the phone. [Extracted from the article]
