Stephen Peddle, 47, served in the Canadian military for 28 years, including two missions on the ground in Afghanistan — one in 2007 and another in 2012. He left the service in 2019. Peddle got involved with the current Afghan refugee crisis to help his former interpreter, Sangeen Abdul Mateen, who served on the ground with him in 2007, get his family members to safety. “He was not just my interpreter, not just my friend, but my cultural adviser while I was in Afghanistan who I credit with helping keep myself and my comrades alive,” said Peddle

Radio-Canada – Pourquoi de nombreux Sud-Coréens immigrent-ils au Canada?

La Corée du Sud fait partie des 10 principaux pays de provenance des immigrants reçus selon les récentes données d’Immigration Canada. Dans les années 60, les ressortissants sud-coréens étaient des immigrants économiques en raison de l’instabilité politique du pays. Bien que la Corée du Sud soit maintenant développée économiquement, la qualité de vie canadienne attire toujours ces ressortissants.

Globe and Mail – An Influx of French Immigrants to Quebec Highlights a Cultural Shift … and Rift

Drawn by a cultural and economic openness they can’t find at home, many young French people have fallen in love with Quebec. While Canadians in the rest of the country tend to see the province as relatively European – with its bike lanes, walk-up apartments and large state – the French see it as almost Californian, a land of swimming pools, friendliness and jobs. Despite the common language and their best intentions, some members of the diaspora are still having a harder time integrating than they expected.

Global News – Kabul Safe House Closures in ‘Absolute Crisis,’ Says Canadian Veteran

In an interview with The West Block‘s Mercedes Stephenson, Tim Laidler from the Veterans’ Transition Network said he and others had been hoping to keep the safe houses open until all Afghans who helped Canadian troops can be evacuated to safety.
