Tyson Foods wants to hire 52,000 asylum seekers for factory jobs

New York City shelters are overwhelmed with migrants.

Many of them have arrived in Texas or Florida and then taken buses to New York, where shelter and benefits are guaranteed. However, the city is scrambling as the number continues to climb and the migrants look to build a new life in America, which includes housing and work.

But for companies like Tyson Foods Inc., struggling to fill unpopular jobs with a U.S. unemployment rate of 3.9%, this new population presents an alluring opportunity.

Gregory Millard: Justin Trudeau can lose the next election but remain prime minister. Here’s how

The polls look dire for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. The Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre have enjoyed a lead gusting up to 20 per cent for several months. The prime minister’s personal totals are horrendous. These are 1984-type numbers — bringing to mind not George Orwell’s novel, but Brian Mulroney’s demolition of the Liberals in that year. While the next election is some time away, it’s hard to imagine a future in which the Liberals win more seats, let alone more votes, than the Conservatives. Yet we see little indication that Mr. Trudeau plans to resign.

Douglas Todd: Canadian leaders more wary about asylum seekers

“To those fleeing persecution, terror and war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength.”

That was the message Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted online in 2017, fresh from an election victory in which Canadian politicians of the left, right and centre were virtually competing to claim who would bring the most refugees from war-torn Syria.

Conservatives More Willing to Speak on Touchy Social Issues, as Electorate Signals Support

After federal Tory candidate Jamil Jivani won the recent byelection in Ontario’s Durham riding, his speech targeted not only the rival Liberals but also, unexpectedly, Ontario’s ruling Progressive Conservatives. He is especially critical of the “anti-racism” taught in Ontario schools.

Race and gender are among sensitive topics federal and provincial conservatives alike had often been reluctant to speak strongly about in the past. But that has been changing, with senior Conservative leaders speaking up more on these touchy social issues in recent months.

Video shows men clashing moments before NYC subway shooting as frantic riders scramble for doors

Harrowing footage captured the violent clash between two men on a Brooklyn subway car — and the sheer panic among commuters after one of the brawlers was shot aboard the rush-hour train Thursday.

The video, shot by a passenger on a northbound A train, corroborated earlier witness accounts shared with police, showing one man provoking another before at least four gunshots rang out on the crowded train as it pulled into the A/C Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets station.

Let them eat snake: scientists back python as sustainable meat

Dr Daniel Natusch has eaten plenty of Burmese python over the years. “At the risk of repeating a cliché, it tastes a lot like chicken,” he says.

“You run the knife along the back of the snake and you almost get a 4m-long filleted steak. Firm white meat, no bones. And then it depends on how you prepare it. I’ve had it barbecued, in curries, as biltong and, yeah, it’s great.”

British countryside can evoke ‘dark nationalist’ feelings in paintings, warns museum

Turner London 1809

The Fitzwilliam Museum has suggested that paintings of the British countryside evoke dark “nationalist feelings”.

The museum, owned by the University of Cambridge, has undertaken an overhaul of its displays, in a move that its director insisted was not “woke”.

Luke Syson said last week: “I would love to think that there’s a way of telling these larger, more inclusive histories that doesn’t feel as if it requires a push-back from those who try to suggest that any interest at all in [this work is] what would now be called ‘woke’.”

Joanna Baron: Canadian politicians have suddenly forgotten how to denounce protestors

Those who had a lot to say about the Freedom Convoy are strangely silent about the pro-Palestinian demonstrators

This past weekend, downtown Ottawa was occupied by a huge crowd of protestors. They danced, shouted angry slogans, banged on drums and created a noisy, inconvenient disruption for local residents and businesses. They even set off smoke bombs, creating hazardous air quality for bystanders and law enforcement.

Sound a bit familiar? Yes, there were some obvious parallels with the Freedom Convoy. But there were also a couple of very big differences. There were many more frightening messages directed at fellow Canadians this time, including “All Zionists are racists” and “All Zionists are degenerates.”

Hamas’s Gaza death toll is exaggerated or faked, statistics expert claims

Professor Abraham Wyner showed that the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry has been “faking” casualty numbers, in an article for Tablet Magazine on March 7.

A professor of Statistics and Data Science at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Wyner provided a detailed analysis of the data from the Gaza Health Ministry, which showed that they had, at the very minimum, been doctored – and at worst, completely faked.
