The Guardian – US will reportedly take only up to 400 refugees under Australia deal
The US will resettle only a few hundred refugees from Nauru, and only families, under the deal arranged with the Australian government, Sky News has reported. The US and Australian governments earlier this month announced an unspecified number of refugees on Nauru or Manus Island would be resettled in the US, with the assistance of the UNHCR. There were reports about 1,600 refugees would be involved. There have been consistent questions about how many would be accepted and whether the deal would even go ahead under an administration led by Donald Trump, who campaigned on a ban on Muslim immigration. Senior Republicans have also criticised the deal.
Montreal Gazette – Montreal’s population growth cools, hinting at long-term trouble
The bottom line: 5,467 more people moved to Montreal Island – the city of Montreal and 15 demerged suburbs – than left in 2014-15, the latest year for which statistics are available. That’s 42-per-cent less than the previous year’s net gain (9,465) and the worst performance since 2007-2008, when Montreal posted a net loss of 596 people due to migration, according to a new analysis by Montreal’s economic development office. Though not alarming, the latest figures help illustrate troubling long-term trends, said Jack Jedwab, who tracks migration at the Association for Canadian Studies.
Globe & Mail – Ohio State attacker was angry about treatment of Muslims: official
The Somali-born student who went on a car-and-knife rampage at Ohio State University railed on Facebook against U.S. interference in Muslim lands and warned, “If you want us Muslims to stop carrying lone wolf attacks, then make peace” with the Islamic State group, a law enforcement official said Tuesday.
Globe & Mail – Ottawa not tracking effectiveness of $1.1-billion U.S. border plan, auditor says
The $1.1-billion Beyond the Border Action Plan has placed RCMP officers on U.S. Coast Guard vessels, installed new screening devices at airports and launched extensive information-sharing programs between Canada and the United States – but the federal Auditor-General says Ottawa has no idea whether any of this has made a difference.
CBC – Syrian refugees fear what lies ahead as government-sponsored year runs out
A year after arriving in Canada, the first wave of resettled Syrian refugees is about to face a whole new round of challenges. December begins the so-called Month 13, when the government-sponsored refugee package, with its monthly living allowance, ends for many families. They either have to support themselves or fall back on provincial social assistance.
Montreal Gazette – Don Macpherson: Coalition Avenir Québec campaigns against immigrants, even where there are few
Jean-François Lisée, who won the Parti Québécois leadership by taking a hard line against certain Muslim practices, isn’t the only Quebec political leader with a dog whistle, though whether Lisée still uses it depends on the day and the audience. François Legault of the Coalition Avenir Québec party also knows how to make a coded appeal to Islamophobia in particular, and xenophobia in general. Last Thursday, Legault’s CAQ angered Lisée by posting a tweet accusing the PQ leader as well as Liberal Premier Philippe Couillard of being “in favour of the chador for teachers in our schools,” referring to a long shawl worn by some Muslim women. “Only the CAQ defends our values!” the tweet said.
