CBC News – New Canadians Are Feeling the Threat of Food Insecurity — And COVID-19 Has Only Made It Worse
According to Proof Canada, a research team that investigates and publishes annual reports on food insecurity, the odds of a person facing food insecurity in Newfoundland and Labrador rose by 49 per cent from 2011 to 2018. Immigrants, international students and other newcomers often face more food insecurity hurdles, driven in part by the uncertainty that comes with living in a new place, adjusting to a new culture, language barriers and other struggles that have been amplified by the pandemic.
Le Devoir – D’autres employeurs tendent la main aux travailleurs étrangers de la ferme de Jean Lemay
Des employeurs se montrent intéressés à recruter des travailleurs étrangers temporaires laissés sans emploi après l’interdiction permanente imposée au producteur agricole qui les embauchaient.

La Presse – O’Toole veut qu’un comité parlementaire enquête sur la réponse tardive du Canada
Les libéraux de Justin Trudeau se sont engagés à rapatrier 40 000 réfugiés afghans à la suite du retour au pouvoir des talibans. Jusqu’ici, quelque 4000 réfugiés ont été rapatriés, soit environ 10 % de l’objectif. Le chef conservateur Erin O’Toole a soutenu lundi qu’une enquête parlementaire s’impose pour faire la lumière sur la gestion inadéquate, selon lui, de l’opération visant à rapatrier les réfugiés afghans. Son parti va déposer une motion à la Chambre des communes mardi afin de créer le comité.

Canada owes a debt to the dozens of Afghan female judges who had to flee their home country after the Taliban seized control, says a U.K. lawyer who helped get them out. They dedicated their careers to bringing abusers, drug traffickers and terrorists to justice in Afghanistan, Helena Kennedy told As It Happens guest host Nil Köksal. Now that the Taliban has released thousands of inmates, those women have targets on their backs.

On Tuesday, Nasro Mohamed, a young Somali refugee, will join supporters — including Santa Claus — at the PMO’s Wellington and Elgin street entrance to press for expedited action in bringing her husband and child to Canada from their current refuge in Uganda.

Toronto Star – ‘No Parents Should Have to Bury Their Child’: How a Canadian Funeral Home Owner Is Trying to Stop Suicides Among International Students
Not all the deaths of international students that Kamal Bhardwaj has seen at his two funeral homes — about five or six a month — are suicides but he says based on “visual observation of the bodies,” a good number of them appear to be suicide deaths. The alarming rate was enough of a concern to prompt him to reach out to others in the community to explore what’s happening with the international students from India, which is by far the No. 1 source country of Canada’s international students.
