“Refugee travel is essential, we know that no one chooses to be a refugee,” said Maureen Silcoff, president of the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers. “In fact, refugees can enter and quarantine themselves. So that should have been the starting point. “
A Chinese tech giant filed more patents in Canada last year than any other company, evidence of what some observers say is a failure by Canada to secure the critical intellectual property rights needed to build next-generation technologies.
Canada is establishing a dedicated refugee stream for “human rights defenders,” including journalists, who may need to seek asylum to escape persecution in their country, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister Marco Mendicino said on Friday.
Combination of job vacancies, people quitting or retiring will make labour shortages worse into the fall, RBC says.
The ambitious move has been called for by residents and community groups for more than a year now and comes, in the City’s own words, “in an effort to promote inclusion and reconciliation with marginalized communities” due to Henry Dundas’s controversial and problematic legacy.
As I’ve been writing about, we are seeing a rise of Marxism & Communism in Canada.
Much of it is being done under various guises, as Communists generally hide their true agenda and operate under different names that are more innocuous to the public.
Yet, there are times when the agenda and the infiltration of Marxists into our society is brought right out in the open.

Former chief of the defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance has been charged under Section 139 of the Criminal Code with one count of obstruction of justice following a probe by military police into allegations of inappropriate behaviour that were first reported by Global News in February.

America has 70.5 million Catholics; Canada, with just over a 10th of the population, has close to 13 million. So this is a big story. Yet the US media aren’t interested in reporting our northern neighbor’s plague of church burnings — except to suggest it’s understandable.
