Immigration Minister Jason Kenney’s announcement that he’s launching stakeholder consultations on Canada’s immigration program presents a timely opportunity for a national conversation. How will we adapt to a century of unprecedented mobility? Will we harness migration to build a more dynamic society and economy, or will we quietly recede from the frontiers of globalization, sacrificing innovation and prosperity for a more static society?
Given Canada’s long experience with multiculturalism, the anti-immigrant message underlying the Norway massacre seems less of a threat here, though the rise in hate crimes and negative political rhetoric in this country are ominous warning signs, experts say. There’s no reason for Canadians to be smugly confident, says Barbara Perry, associate dean of the faculty of social science and humanities at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology.

Ever since portions of Georgia’s controversial anti-immigration law took effect, the volume of the protests seems to have subsided. But that may be about to change. Georgia’s new law has caught the attention of activists from across the country. Many of them were in Atlanta Wednesday night to help kick the tenor of the protests up a notch.

Guantanamo prisoner Omar Khadr has hired two Toronto lawyers known for their work in national security and constitutional law. A press release Thursday announced that John Norris and Brydie Bethell would represent Khadr in Canada, where he will arrive sometime during the next three months to serve the remainder of an eight-year sentence. The convicted war criminal must be transferred to a Canadian prison sometime before Oct. 31, according to a plea deal reached last fall.
It’s not up to Canada to prosecute people suspected of crimes against humanity, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said Wednesday. The federal government has been publicly stepping up deportations of people found inadmissible to Canada because of a suspicion they may have participated in war crimes. But Toews said it’s not realistic for Canada to investigate, prosecute and imprison people who commit crimes against humanity in other countries.

Their future areas of study differ, but Muhammad Cheema and Zayan Rafeek share a common connection beyond friendship: each is a trailblazer within their families in the pursuit of higher learning. Both bound for Toronto’s Ryerson University in the fall, the pair will be among a distinct group of newcomers welcomed into the frosh fold, among the first in their families to make the leap to college or university. The post-secondary experience in many families can be traced through generations, and in some instances, there are time-honoured traditions. Some may opt to follow the path of older relatives or siblings who attended the same alma mater, or perhaps pursue a similar area of study.
