Globe and Mail – Canadian Rights Activist Says He Received Death Threat for Support of Hong Kongers
A Hong Kong-born Canadian who has worked behind the scenes to help dissidents flee the Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown in the former British colony says a threat has been made against his life. Paul Cheng, who is in his 60s, is a retired computer programmer in Calgary and one of the founders of the New Hong Kong Cultural Club, a Canadian group dedicated to supporting pro-democracy efforts in the Asian territory. In late June the group received three messages via Telegram, a software application for smartphones that enables encrypted communication.
ONFR+ – Le ministère du multiculturalisme, un allié de l’immigration francophone?
Aboli en 2018 à l’arrivée au pouvoir de Doug Ford, le ministère des Affaires civiques a refait surface à la faveur du dernier remaniement. Avec cette nuance : l’intitulé complémentaire Immigration a été remplacé par Multiculturalisme. Si nombre d’acteurs communautaires perçoivent le retour de ce ministère comme une aubaine pour l’immigration francophone, tout porte à croire le contraire, selon des experts en politique provinciale.
La Presse – Vers une loi contre le racisme environnemental

Une loi canadienne pour tenter de remédier à la problématique pourrait bientôt voir le jour.

CBC News – Toronto’s Chinatown Needs Heritage Designation, Community Advocates Tell City
Advocates are calling on the City of Toronto to designate Chinatown a heritage site to help protect the historic neighbourhood from the pressures of the pandemic, rising racism and downtown real estate development. It follows a call from Chinese community leaders across the country to create a national action plan to help Chinatowns recover after COVID-19. The rise of anti-Asian racism and discrimination have also brought additional challenges for residents and businesses of Chinatown, they say.
Guelph Today – ‘You Are Not Alone:’ Local Immigration Services Offers Range of Supports After Islamophobia Rises
Local support services in the region want community members shaken by recent Islamophobia incidents to know that they are never alone. Sandra Cocco, executive director of Immigrant Services Guelph Wellington said after the recent incident in London and the TikTok video filmed in Harriston, fear and confusion in the community increased. She said many who live in rural communities might believe that they don’t have access to the kinds of support people would in the city have which is not the case. “You’re not alone,” said Cocco.
