CBC News – Hyphenated Identity: SFU Researcher Examines What It Means to Be Canadian

Italian-Canadian, Chinese-Canadian, Irish-Canadian and other hyphenated identities are at the heart of a new research project about Canadian identity and the future of multiculturalism. Eva Sajoo, a researcher at Simon Fraser University, looked at Italian identity in Vancouver in a survey three years ago and has been asked by the city to expand her project for Canada 150. Sajoo’s newest project, called Being Canadian: The Future of a Hyphenated Nation, goes beyond Vancouver’s Italian community to look at the wider scope of Canadian identity

Globe and Mail – U.S. Data Fuelling Canada’s Crackdown on Immigration Violators

Under a 2011 continental security pact, Canada and the United States agreed to set up co-ordinated systems to track the entry and exit information of travellers. The effort involves exchanging entry information collected from people at the land border — so that data on entry to one country serves as a record of exit from the other. Canada says the information will be helpful in everything from tracking known fugitives to responding more effectively to missing-child alerts. The federal NDP and privacy advocates are watching closely.

Le Myanmar et le Bangladesh se sont donné mardi deux années pour régler le retour des 655 000 Rohingyas qui ont quitté le territoire birman depuis la fin août, fuyant une campagne militaire qualifiée d’épuration ethnique par les Nations unies. C’est la première fois que les deux pays évoquent clairement un calendrier pour le retour de cette minorité musulmane persécutée depuis des années dans ce pays d’Asie du Sud-Est majoritairement bouddhiste.

The bitter cold hasn’t stopped asylum seekers from making their way to Canada, and authorities say there is a pressing need for jackets, gloves and tuques to help them cope with their first winter. PRAIDA, the provincial government organization that helps claimants in their first months, and the Salvation Army are asking Quebecers to dig into their closets and give away any winter clothing they no longer use.

CBC News – ‘In the Dark’: Canadian Eyed by CSIS Blocked from Visiting Dying Father in U.S.

In 2014, after years of visiting his family in the United States without incident, the Muslim Canadian learned he was no longer allowed to enter the U.S., where his parents live, his father a green-card holder. While not guilty of any crime, the man says he is no longer treated like an otherwise innocent Canadian citizen — and has no way of knowing whether his border troubles are a result of being on the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s radar.
