Global News – People’s Party Wants to Axe Multiculturalism Act, Eliminate Funding
In a policy plank released Friday, the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) vowed to scrap the Canadian Multiculturalism Act if elected and cancel all funding that promotes the concept. “In a free society, immigrants have the right to cherish and maintain their cultural heritage,” the platform states. “However, that doesn’t mean we have any obligation to help them preserve it, with government programs and taxpayers’ money.”

Financial Post – Canada Largely Successful in Managing Economic Immigration: OECD Study
The OECD reviewed how Canada recruits foreign labour — from the Express Entry program that sees the government effectively “invite” people to come to Canada permanently, to programs geared towards temporary workers.

Globe and Mail – Ottawa Announces Immigration, Refugee Legal Aid Funding for Ontario, Slamming Ford Cuts
In remarks attempting to link the cost-cutting Mr. Ford to his federal Conservative counterparts, the Prime Minister pledged a one-time financing of $26.8-million for immigration and refugee legal aid for 2019-2020, almost all of which Ontario expects to flow to its legal aid system. “Another Conservative government – the government of Doug Ford – is walking away from services to the most vulnerable,” Mr. Trudeau told an event at the offices of a refugee- and immigrant-settlement agency
A refugee sponsorship fund has received its first commitment from a P.E.I. group and is looking for more interest in the face of the province’s housing crisis. The Refugee Hub, an Ottawa-based non-profit, hosted an outreach session in Charlottetown Friday for people thinking about sponsoring refugees through their fund. It covers six months of a refugees’ stay in Canada, and the federal government covers the other six months. Sponsors need to cover small settlement fees like clothing and pantry items.
