The Globe and Mail – Young Syrian Refugees in Vancouver Worried About Housing, Education
Young Syrian refugees who came to the Vancouver region in the past year say they’re concerned about the high cost of housing and the difficulty navigating a complex education system – two issues they say governments should address. Their recommendations, included in a report released Tuesday by the non-profit Immigrant Services Society of B.C., come as the province readies for an additional 1,200 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, on top of the more than 2,500 who have settled in the province in less than 12 months.
Radio-Canada – Accueil des réfugiés syriens : le gouvernement du N.-B. espère plus d’aide du fédéral

Toronto Star – Temp Agency Work Trapping Immigrant Women in “Modern Day Slavery”
Precarious work and temp agencies are trapping immigrant women in Toronto in a cycle of poor pay and illness, creating a “public health crisis” with long-term implications for the region’s economy and health-care system, a new report warns. Documenting the experience of new Canadians in the GTA, some of whom were refugees, the study found that many were forced to resort to temp agency work that exploited their “vulnerability as refugee claimants who desperately need to survive as well as take care of family members overseas.” Some working mothers took home just $3 an hour after child-care costs and pay deductions from their temp agency.

On Monday, it was announced that the city is Canada’s first International City of Refuge, which means that Surrey will offer temporary sanctuary to writers and artists, giving them an escape and a platform to continue their work. Working with the Norway-based International City of Refuge Network, a candidate will be chosen to settle in Surrey for two years. Funds will be raised to support the writer or artist and their family during that time.
In the middle of the night in early October, Ku Klux Klan flyers stuffed into Ziploc bags landed on the doorsteps of a few dozen homes in two British Columbia towns. Similar flyers were dropped in a neighbouring community over the summer. In recent weeks, anti-Muslim and anti-Sikh posters also cropped up on two university campuses in Alberta. It is unclear who was behind the incidents. Police are investigating. These events contrast with Canada’s image as an open, multicultural society, and one that recently opened its doors to more than 30,000 Syrian refugees.
Le Figaro – Donald Trump réveille le géant assoupi de l’Amérique blanche
«Ne dites surtout pas que je suis un ‘suprémaciste blanc’. Je préfère le terme ‘nationaliste blanc’. Nous qualifier de ‘racistes’ ou de ‘suprémacistes’ est négatif et nous nuit.» La mise au point sémantique étant faite, William Johnson, président de la formation nationaliste American Freedom Party, commande avec le sourire un jus de pamplemousse dans un «diner» traditionnel […].
