CBC – Newcomers Learn how to Brave a Canadian Winter
The program’s goal is to educate new immigrants on how to dress appropriately for Canadian winters, where to find affordable winter clothing and suggestions on areas and trails to explore. “We wanted to do this event today in partnership with Immigrant Services Association of Nova Scotia because we felt like it was an important project to get new Canadians outside and discover a trail that’s here in Spryfield and then also learn about how to dress for the weather,” said Heidi Verheul, Wild Child co-ordinator.
Toronto Star – How Mexicans Are Planning to Hit Back at Trump
The reality of Donald Trump’s anti-Mexico stance is starting to sink in south of the Rio Grande. Ford scrapped plans for a new Mexican plant this week, as Trump threatened a “big border tax” on General Motors and Toyota. And on Friday the president-elect repeated his pledge to force Mexico to reimburse American taxpayers for his promised border wall. Agustin Barrios Gomez, a former Mexican congressman who is co-chair for North America of the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations, explains how Mexicans are planning to fight back.
Radio-Canada – Des immigrants apprennent à profiter du plein air dans le froid canadien
De nouveaux arrivants au Canada ont participé en fin de semaine à un programme du Sierra Club en Atlantique qui encourage les jeunes à profiter du plein air en hiver. Le Sierra Club et Immigration Canada se sont associés pour offrir aux participants en Nouvelle-Écosse une promenade dans le bois et une leçon sur l’habillement dans ces circonstances.
Toronto Star – Chinese Man’s Refugee Claim Could Hinge on Disclosure of Secret Federal Info
The federal government is trying to throw a shroud of secrecy over information a Chinese refugee claimant in British Columbia says could be crucial to his case. A Federal Court judge will hear the government’s plea Friday to shield portions of two Canada Border Services Agency documents from disclosure in the case of Shiyuan Shen, who is wanted for alleged fraud in China. In a filing with the court, the government argues revealing the information would hurt international relations and shatter Canada’s credibility in the eyes of foreign allies and sources.
Toronto Star – Refugee From Ghana Survives Extreme Cold to Reach Canada
A man from Ghana expects to lose most of his fingers after nearly freezing to death last month while trudging from North Dakota to Manitoba through hip-deep snow and biting cold to claim refugee status. Seidu Mohammad is recovering in hospital after trying to reach the Canada Border Services Agency crossing at Emerson on Christmas Eve when the temperature was -20 C with a high wind chill and a major storm on the way. The 32-year-old man and another refugee claimant from Ghana were picked up by an older man in a truck after walking for seven hours to avoid detection by officials on the American side of the border.
Globe & Mail – Conservative Party’s Fortunes Hinge on Immigration Policy
The Conservative leadership campaign has become a debate over immigration. Resolving that debate could determine the party’s future. Because immigrants decide elections.
In every campaign since 1968, with the single exception of 2006, the party that dominated the broad band of suburban ridings surrounding Toronto formed the government. Most of those ridings have large concentrations of immigrants. But strategists report that the typical Conservative Party member is white, male and over 60. Some of them are sympathetic to the nativist arguments that vaulted Donald Trump into the American presidency.
