Le Soleil – Une fête de Noël pour les immigrants

Le Centre multiethnique de Québec organisait sa fête de Noël pour les personnes immigrantes tout juste arrivées dans la province dimanche. Comme tous les ans, le but de cette rencontre est de rassembler les gens de différentes cultures, de briser l’isolement et de faire connaître les traditions du temps des Fêtes. Il s’agit aussi d’une belle occasion pour valoriser le français comme langue commune. Les familles se sont rassemblées au Club social Victoria pour la journée.

CBC News – Foreign Student and Worker Exploitation Highlighted in Calgary Petition

Groups in Calgary’s South Asian community are trying to raise awareness of the ongoing exploitation of international students and foreign workers through a petition and community meetings in northeast Calgary. Organizers, including ethnic media outlet Sikh Virsa International and the Progressive Cultural Association Calgary, are calling for a cap on college fees and better clarity on programs for international students. They also want the federal government’s employer sponsorship program scrapped and replaced with something that’s not open to corruption.

La Presse – Oui, la loi 21 est discriminatoire

Il fallait s’y attendre. Bien des partisans d’une laïcité stricte ont vu dans la décision de la Cour d’appel un appui tacite à la loi du gouvernement Legault. Comme si une majorité de juges avait conclu que l’interdiction des signes religieux n’avait rien de discriminatoire. Or, c’est précisément l’inverse. Il faut lire intégralement les 39 pages du jugement déposé jeudi pour comprendre à quel point les magistrats ont eu des mots durs contre la Loi sur la Laïcité de l’État et la manière de procéder du gouvernement Legault.
