Globe and Mail – Fear Over Coronavirus Prompts School Board in Ontario to Warn Parents About Racism Against Chinese Community

The message York District School Board staff had been sending to parents on the coronavirus was pretty standard: Wash your hands; stay home if you’re sick; cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze. Then they saw the petition. More than 8,000 people were calling for school boards in the region north of Toronto to not allow students whose family members had travelled to China within 17 days to come to school. On Monday, the York board released a note to parents to address another virus: anti-Chinese xenophobia.

Opinion: It’s Time for Justice for the Rohingya Community – and Women Can’t Be Left Behind

On Thursday, the International Court of Justice handed down provisional measures in Gambia’s case against the Myanmar military, demanding an end to the persecution of the Rohingya. These steps toward accountability are critically important, both for Rohingya survivors and for future peace and stability in Myanmar.

Global News – Brandon, Winnipeg Police Seeing Increase in Phone Scams: ‘It’s Definitely Concerning’

The Winnipeg Police Service says it’s seeing a spike in reports of scams where fraudsters impersonate someone from the Canada Revenue Agency or another government department, and ask for personal information like social insurance numbers. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre also says in 2018 they received over 22,000 reports of phone scams related to the Canada Revenue Agency and Citizenship & Immigration Canada. That resulted in over 1,400 victims and a loss of $6.4 million.
