The Globe and Mail – Canada Deports Former Chinese Democracy Activist Convicted of Violent Crimes Here
Yang Wei, who became a permanent resident in 2003, left Toronto for Beijing at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, according to his lawyer. Friends worry his association with an outlawed Chinese democracy party may place him at risk of incarceration when he arrives back in China. Dissident poet Liao Yiwu has taken up his cause, writing an open letter this week criticizing his deportation. But Mr. Yang has also been assessed as likely to reoffend in Canada where, according to Toronto police reports from 2006 to 2010, he committed a series of knife attacks.
Les affiches douteuses en appui à Maxime Bernier ont fait couler beaucoup d’encre ces derniers jours, mais la plupart des Canadiens les auront vu monter et descendre avec un simple haussement d’épaules. Contrairement à ce qu’on pourrait croire en lisant les journaux, surtout au Québec, l’immigration n’est pas un sujet de grande inquiétude parmi les électeurs… pour l’instant. À peine 5 % d’entre eux en font un enjeu prioritaire, selon Abacus.
Le Journal de Québec – Enseignante voilée : les parents ne pourront retirer leur enfant d’une classe
Le gouvernement Legault ne permettra pas aux parents de retirer leur enfant d’une classe supervisée par une enseignante voilée. « Ça n’appartient pas aux parents de choisir leur enseignant ou de magasiner leur enseignant, ce n’est pas prévu dans la loi 21 [sur la laïcité de l’État] et puis on n’a pas l’intention d’aller dans cette direction-là », a tranché mercredi le ministre de l’Éducation, Jean-François Roberge.
CTV News – New Brunswick Population Growth Strategy Seeks Big Boost in Immigration
New Brunswick is aiming to more than triple the number of immigrants to the province, hoping to reach 7,500 a year by 2024. The goal of bringing the annual immigration intake to about one per cent of the province’s population is included in a new five-year provincial government population growth strategy and action plan released today. In addition to attracting new immigrants, the strategy seeks to ensure newcomers remain in the province, targeting a one-year retention rate of 85 per cent by 2024.
The third-party advertising group behind billboards promoting Maxime Bernier and his stance on immigration is now distancing itself from the message, saying it never signed off on the controversial campaign. “We completely disavow any sympathy with or support for the views expressed by donors who paid for and selected the content of their advertising, which we were mistakenly not afforded an opportunity to first approve,” Frank Smeenk, the head of True North Strong & Free Advertising Corp., wrote in an email to The Canadian Press on Monday.
CBC News – Golden Ticket and Culture Shock: Refugee Students Start Over in Vancouver
World University Services Canada (WUSC) is a non-profit development organization with a focus on education. Its student refugee program — founded more than four decades ago — works with the federal department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship to bring 130 students to Canada every year. Organizers of the scholarship program say they understand the transition is tough for students arriving at Canadian universities from refugee camps. But Christine Mylks, manager of overseas programming for WUSC, says the scholarship provides an opportunity for education and citizenship through a single channel, which is rare.
