Diploma In Social Work, Part Time Job, Lives With Parents In Social Housing- Perfect Time To Get Married, Have A Child And Complain About Rental Market

‘We’re just stuck.’ This new father grew up in public housing — he wants to leave but can’t because of what’s wrong with Toronto’s housing market

In the wee hours of the night, Shahzeb Ahia and his wife often pace the floors of their living room, walking back and forth with their newborn daughter and hoping the movement or the city lights outside will quiet her wails.

It isn’t only their sleep that three-month-old Sahira’s cries can interrupt. The sound can travel throughout the 955-square-foot apartment in Regent Park that’s currently home to a household of six, including Ahia’s parents and his adult brother. It’s too many people for this space — but Ahia can’t see any way out.

The Family has lived in Regent Park Social Housing for 20 years virtually since their arrival in Canada.

Hell of a life plan for a “Social Worker.”

Mass immigration is working its magic!

The age of mass revenge

Journalists have never been noted for originality in their choice of metaphor, so readers must be wearied by now of hearing that the world is on fire. Skeptics will observe that the flames have been more or less constant for well over a century, as the major powers and their allies, satellites and acolytes maneuver to establish, or reestablish, global power or hegemony. In fact, the present crisis extends well beyond the collapse of the international order that prevailed since 1945. The situation is actually far more complicated, the world today being infused with a generalized and simmering anger that extends beyond the great powers to include middling and minor ones everywhere, their societies and their various elements.

Beard-loving pagans are fastest growing religion in Armed Forces

Paganism is the fastest growing religious group in the British Armed Forces, The Telegraph can reveal.

Followers of the pagan faiths, who typically sport beards as a lifestyle choice, numbered 660 at the start of the year across the Armed Forces, up 144 per cent from 270 in April 2020.

In addition to the pagans, there are around 50 self-declared Heathens, Wiccans, Druidists and Odinists, all of which are nature-revering religions associated with paganism.

Why Pakistani airline attendants keep ‘vanishing’ in Toronto

The phrase “Pakistan Zindabad” — Urdu for “long live Pakistan” — is a patriotic expression closely linked to the country’s independence from British-ruled India.

But the title of the 2013 film “Zinda Bhaag,” which rhymes with the nationalistic slogan, may better reflect the mindset of many Pakistanis today.

Theatregoers given trigger warning over ‘sound of people eating oranges’

Theatregoers for an upcoming London show have been given a trigger warning over the sound of people eating on stage.

Sadler’s Wells, Britain’s leading dance company, has warned ticket holders for the two performances of OUT at Lilian Baylis Studio in Finsbury later this month may find the noise “uncomfortable”.

OUT is advertised as a musical duet, which “defiantly challenges homophobia and transphobia” and aims to “reimagine, reclaim and celebrate aspects of Caribbean culture from a queer perspective”.

All 7 British terrorist co-conspirators of al-Qaeda ‘dirty bomb’ mastermind Dhiren Barot are freed after serving just HALF their jail terms

All seven dangerous terrorists convicted alongside al-Qaeda ‘dirty bomber’ mastermind Dhiren Barot who wanted to kill hundreds of people in New York and London have been released from jail.

The British men, all part of a sleeper cell that helped Barot plan a series of bomb plots in the UK and US, are back on the streets despite being jailed in 2007 for a combined 136 years.

MailOnline can reveal that the last of the group to be released was Abdul Aziz Jalil, then 34, who was given a 26 year sentence and was thought to be mass murder plotter Barot’s ‘minder.’

Star article says if universities don’t have more “studies” majors we’ll end up with employable graduates

Humanities are taking a backseat to STEM education and that is creating problems

Just a decade ago, most of us were still thinking of STEM as a word, not an acronym.

Today, we know it stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, because STEM has become a huge priority, even a juggernaut, in education, employment, and government.

Parents steer their kids toward the future with STEM careers in mind and high schools, summer camps and even toymakers tailor their offerings accordingly.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement in Montreal today as part of his government’s pre-budget tour.

This is campaigning on our money.

Disbelief as undermanned Royal Navy spends £2.4million on ‘diversity and inclusion team’

The Royal Navy has splashed out £2.4million on dedicated diversity and inclusion staff in recent years at a time when defence budgets are more constrained than ever, ministers have admitted.

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps is waging war on what he sees as ‘woke’ and wasteful diversity pushes, including internal jobs inviting serving marines and sailors to be redeployed as diversity and inclusion officers within Britain’s navy.

But his parliamentary under-secretary has admitted to spending the seven figure sum on diversity roles in the service since 2019 – prompting disbelief from a former minister who has called for the money to be spent elsewhere.

A battle for hope: the brewing campaign clash between the Conservatives and the NDP

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s path to power may be by prosecuting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s past eight years in government, but his road to victory is painted NDP orange.

Appealing to working-class voters in rural and northern ridings — like those held by New Democrats across British Columbia and Liberals in northern Ontario — is part of what Poilievre sees as a winning formula.
