The Muslim community in the London area is composed largely of immigrants, both early and recent. Like other immigrant communities, it has its share of family problems. Of particular concern has been family violence, mainly by males against other family members. In no way common, such conflict is nevertheless of great concern. It has alerted us to the need for intervention strategies that are both culturally responsive and effective.
On the heels of the Startup Visa Act awaiting presentation to Congress in the United States comes the launch of Startup Visa Canada, which aims to upgrade this country’s immigration program by making it easier for prospective entrepreneurs with Canadian investors to launch science and technology companies. The movement has three principles behind it: Boris Wertz, an investor and co-founder of GrowLab; Danny Robinson, an entrepreneur, investor and member of the B.C. Innovation Council; and the Canadian Venture Capital Association (CVCA). “We are already falling behind countries like Chile, Singapore and Britain, who have already upgraded their programs,” Mr. Wertz says, “but I believe we can learn from their programs and make ours better.”
A woman who was seeking the Wildrose nomination in Calgary McCall has withdrawn from the race, saying the party is anti-immigration and doesn’t want new Canadians as members. Deepshikha Brar said she made a mistake when she left the Progressive Conservative party to join Wildrose Alliance last year and intends to return to the Tory fold. She says she grew concerned that the Wildrose supports disbanding the Alberta Human Rights Commission and it also is not in favour of recognizing foreign credentials of new Canadians.

A US Muslim civil liberties group has called for a federal investigation and Senate hearings into a report alleging that the CIA helped the New York Police Department (NYPD) in spying on minority communities. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said it suspects the joint CIA-police intelligence gathering described in an Associated Press (AP) report violates the US Constitution, and the US Privacy Act of 1974, which bans the intelligence agency from spying on Americans.
