Canada defended its immigration and refugee vetting system on Monday after a Somali immigrant, who had drawn scrutiny for his alleged extremist views, was charged with attempted murder for a weekend vehicle and knife attack that injured five. He came to Canada in 2012 and was granted refugee status in the same year, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said.
Jagmeet Singh’s decisive first ballot victory for the leadership of the federal NDP marks the first time in Canadian history a visible minority candidate has been elected leader of a major federal party.
A criminal lawyer from Scarborough, Ontario, Singh became the first turban-wearing Sikh to sit in Ontario’s legislature in 2011. He served as the NDP’s critic for justice and consumer services before becoming the party’s deputy leader in 2015.
The Liberals are finally overhauling a program that provides loans to refugees to cover the cost of their resettlement to Canada, but they’re stopping short of demands the system be scrapped entirely. Instead, the government is proposing to eliminate interest charges on all new loans and give new borrowers more time to pay them back, according to a notice of the pending changes posted online by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
A standoff between far-right groups and anti-fascist protesters along the Canadian side of the U.S. border forced police to temporarily shut down the crossing near St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Que., on Saturday.

With Trump announcing new restrictions on citizens from North Korea, Chad and Venezuela last weekend, there was concern about another wave of asylum seekers making the trek north. But our perception of what is happening at the border is not an accurate representation of what’s going on, experts who work in the field say.
