Global News — Police arrest multiple people at opposing immigration demonstrations in Toronto

Ten people were arrested when a demonstration calling for deportations and an end to mass immigration was met by a counter-demonstration in a Toronto park known as the scene of an historic antisemitic riot. Hundreds of people supporting immigration gathered at Toronto’s Christie Pits Park on Saturday afternoon in response to a demonstration encouraging mass deportations and nationalism called “Canada First.” Organizers of the Canada First rally took to social media last month to promote their event, with a poster advertising it for 1 p.m. reading, “Stop mass immigration. Start mass deportations. Remigration is necessary.” Numerous pro-immigration counter rallies had planned their own community rallies at the park with a start time of noon.

Toronto Star — With immigration to Canada reduced, here are some of the big changes the Carney government may focus on

Despite efforts to reduce immigration, Ottawa is still far from its committed targets, with close to three million non-permanent residents still in the country, hovering at seven per cent of Canada’s population. That’s two percentage points above the level the Liberals would like to reach by the end of 2027. The Strong Borders Act, tabled in June, seeks the power to suspend, cancel or stop accepting and processing of immigration applications and documents such as visas and permits due to public interest. It would also increase surveillance capabilities and expand information sharing between government departments and with international partners. Other provisions would restrict access to asylum for people who have previously been in Canada.

Radio-Canada — Un BBQ pour favoriser la rétention d’étudiants internationaux à Moncton

La Ville de Moncton retente son expérience de séduction auprès des étudiants internationaux. Des centaines d’entre eux se sont rassemblés samedi pour un barbecue au parc du Centenaire à Moncton. Au rendez-vous : jeux, musique, hot-dogs et hamburgers. De quoi tisser des liens autour d’un repas. Ce qui rend ce barbecue unique c’est qu’il n’est pas organisé par un seul établissement d’enseignement, mais plutôt par la municipalité, qui souhaite favoriser la rétention de ces étudiants après leurs études.

Radio-Canada — Immigration : manifestants et contre-manifestants s’affrontent à Toronto

Une manifestation organisée par un groupe qui se nomme Canada First (Canada d’abord, traduction libre) et qui exige une réforme de l’immigration au Canada a été accueillie par plusieurs contre-manifestants samedi après-midi à Toronto. Le rassemblement était prévu au parc Christie Pits, sur la rue Bloor Ouest. La conseillère municipale Dianne Saxe ainsi que l’ex-député néo-démocrate Charlie Angus ont tous deux dénoncé la présence de manifestants de droite au parc Christie Pits, où a eu lieu, en 1933, une grave émeute à caractère raciste.

CBC News — Metro Vancouver lowers population growth forecast due to federal immigration cuts

Metro Vancouver says the region is still growing, but at a slower and less predictable pace than previously forecast. In a new update released Thursday, the regional district estimates Metro Vancouver will add an average of 42,500 new residents per year, reaching a population of 4.1 million by 2050. That’s down from last year’s projection of 50,000 annual newcomers and a total population of 4.2 million by mid-century. The regional district says the change reflects recent federal immigration policy shifts, including lower immigration targets between 2025 and 2027 and new restrictions on non-permanent residents.
