CBC News – As Salons and Patios Reopen, Kitchener Man Wonders Why Citizenship Tests Still on Hold
Mohamed Solyman, 31, is a permanent resident who immigrated to Canada almost five years ago and was scheduled to write his test in person at the end of March. Before he had the chance, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to cancel citizenship tests, interviews and ceremonies until further notice. Solyman said it’s clear the shutdown was needed. But in recent weeks, he said it’s been tough to watch services resume and workplaces reopen across the country as citizenship events are kept on hold.
Le Devoir – Mexico suspend l’envoi de 5000 travailleurs saisonniers au Canada à la suite de deux décès
Le gouvernement du Mexique refuse de laisser d’autres travailleurs saisonniers partir au Canada tant que la lumière ne sera pas faite sur la mort de deux d’entre eux des suites de la COVID-19. L’ambassadeur du Mexique au Canada a déclaré lundi que son gouvernement voulait en savoir plus sur les circonstances entourant la mort des deux hommes, dans la région de Windsor, en Ontario. Mexico veut aussi connaître les mesures prises par les autorités canadiennes pour éviter à l’avenir de tels décès tragiques.
La Presse – Racisme : « Il faut reconnaître le problème avant de pouvoir le régler »
« La mairesse Plante a reconnu qu’il y avait du racisme systémique, mais il faut plus qu’une reconnaissance, il faut des changements concrets, visibles, explique Max Stanley Bazin, porte-parole de la Ligue des Noirs. On ne veut pas qu’il y ait un commissaire, et que rien ne se passe au bout du compte. » L’annonce lundi par le premier ministre François Legault de la création d’un groupe d’action contre le racisme a été critiquée par des groupes de défense, qui ont rappelé qu’elle arrive environ un an après l’adoption sous le bâillon de la controversée Loi sur la laïcité de l’État.
Globe and Mail – Essential But Expendable: How Canada Failed Migrant Farm Workers
In interviews, farm workers detailed the myriad reasons that COVID-19 has infiltrated farms with such success: a lack of personal protective equipment (PPE), an information vacuum and pressure to work, despite symptoms. In one instance, a feverish worker developed chest pains and a nosebleed that dripped on the vegetables he tended; he said his supervisors refused to take him home until the shift was over. Photos, videos and interviews portrayed overrun bunkhouses with broken toilets and stoves, cockroach and bed-bug infestations, and holes in the ceiling.
CBC News – LGBTQ Activist Sarah Hegazi, Exiled in Canada After Torture in Egypt, Dead at 30

Hegazi was imprisoned in the fall of 2017 after waving a rainbow flag at a concert in Cairo by the Lebanese band Mashrou’Leila, whose lead singer Hamed Sinno is openly gay.
CBC News – Hearing to Determine Participants for Inquest into Death of South Sudanese Man Killed by Winnipeg Police
A standing hearing will be held to determine the participants in an upcoming inquest into the death of Machuar Madut, who had struggled with mental health before he was shot and killed by Winnipeg police last year. The hearing, set for July 13 at the Manitoba Law Courts in Winnipeg, will allow the judge to decide who can participate in the process and question witnesses before the inquest begins, the province said in a news release on Tuesday. The 43-year-old was allegedly armed with a hammer when he was shot and killed by a Winnipeg police officer in an apartment on Colony Street on Feb. 23, 2019.
