Globe and Mail – Republican Senator Wants Boston Attack Weighed in Immigration Debate
A senior Republican senator said Friday that the approaching political debate about an immigration overhaul should take into account the revelation that the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing had apparently immigrated to the United States from the former Soviet Union. […] “How can individuals evade authorities and plan such attacks on our soil?” Mr. Grassley asked. “How can we beef up security checks on people who wish to enter the U.S.?”
Daniel Hiebert, a University of British Columbia geography professor studying demographic change, has determined Metro Vancouver and Metro Toronto will not only be bigger, but much different cities, within 20 years. Using Statistics Canada data, Hiebert wrote a 32-page report for Citizenship and Immigration Canada last year that said “(Metro) Toronto and (Metro) Vancouver are projected to become ‘majority-minority’ cities, with an overall visible minority population at 63 and 59 per cent respectively” before 2031. […] Hiebert also predicted the two metropolitan areas would experience “a greater tendency for whites and visible minorities to gravitate to different parts of each metropolitan region, and with a high ratio of visible minorities living in enclaves dominated by a particular group.”

Rabble – Open Letter from Artists and Cultural Producers: End the “Border Security” TV Series
Over the past month 22,000 people have signed a petition to National Geographic Channel, Shaw Media, and Force Four Entertainment to cancel the TV show Border Security.

Now, the campaign to cancel Border Security has received the support of prominent actors and cultural producers.
