National Post – Canada ‘Concerned’ by Allegations of Misconduct at UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees
The Canadian government is “concerned” by allegations of wrongdoing at a controversial United Nations agency that administers humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees, but officials have fallen short of saying whether or not future funding will be suspended. Serious allegations including sexual misconduct and nepotism have been directed at top officials at the UN’s Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Globe and Mail – Canadian Embassy in Cuba Reinstates Some Services Suspended Over Diplomat Injuries
In a statement Monday, the Immigration Department said Cuban residents will again be able to pick up visas, drop off passports and get fingerprinting and photos required for applications at the Canadian embassy beginning on Thursday.

ICI – Alberta – Non, les réfugiés ne reçoivent pas plus d’aide que les Canadiens
Une nouvelle étude de l’École de politique publique de l’Université de Calgary déconstruit l’idée reçue selon laquelle les réfugiés et les demandeurs d’asile seraient mieux traités que des Canadiens dans le besoin. Son auteur, Robert Falconer, a pris comme cas type une famille de quatre personnes pour démontrer, chiffres à l’appui, que les réfugiés et les demandeurs d’asile n’étaient pas mieux lotis que des citoyens canadiens bénéficiant de l’aide sociale.
