Globe and Mail – Dutch Politician’s Attack on the Slavs Reminiscent of Europe’s Darker Days
For the past several years, the Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has been Europe’s ultimate single-issue politician: He likens Muslim immigrants to Nazis, and he wants them to leave. Amid the bitter mood of intolerance that dominated the early years of the economic crisis, this was enough to launch his Party For Freedom (PVV) into third-place status, but now there are signs that Dutch voters are getting tired of the blond-maned firebrand’s distinct flavour of xenophobia.
Globe and Mail – Treating a Medical Mosaic, Doctors Develop a New Appreciation for the Role of Ethnicity in Disease
Doctors and researchers are putting greater stock in ethnicity as a variable in health outcomes. A large body of research suggests certain groups are at a higher genetic risk for particular diseases. And physiologically, what is accepted as “normal” and “healthy” varies between ethnicities. But there are no universal standards or terms of reference used to classify ethnicity, which has made it a highly fraught subject. Some say it shouldn’t be considered a variable at all, arguing that the link between ethnicity and health is manufactured.
Hill Times – Feds Have Already Cut Half a Billion Dollars and more than 2,000 PS Jobs in 2011-2012
Citizenship and Immigration cut $59.3-million and the equivalent of 13 full-time positions last year, from seven different departmental activities in 2011-2012. The department’s budget is $1.5-billion, and it employs the equivalent of 4,759 people full-time. The department made a number of changes to improving program efficiencies and moving its public resources online, including forms and information kits. Switching to e-forms made for savings in both the permanent and temporary economic residents programs as well as the citizenship program, adding up to $3.8-million.
After decades of losing its young people to the lure of high-paying work in Ontario and Western Canada, the Atlantic region is showing signs of having turned things around, the latest census figures show. Despite the ever-present prospect of better jobs outside the region, the four Atlantic provinces managed to grow their ranks during the past five years by placing a greater emphasis on attracting and retaining immigrants from abroad.
Globe and Mail – The World’s Losing Its Workers. How Will We Compete?
Peak people will also be an age when countries will be competing for immigrants rather than trying to limit them. Immigration has spared Canada from the worst of aging, but immigrants adopt host-country family sizes very quickly, so they’re a temporary fix. And if their home countries are competing to keep them, then we’ll have a harder time finding young people who want to come.
Globe and Mail – Immigrants Looking for a Better Welcome in Canadian Workplaces
Nearly three-quarters of Toronto-area employers believe they have successful programs to integrate foreign-trained professionals into their workplaces, but only 49 per cent of immigrants say the places they have worked have policies that welcome new Canadians, a new study says.
