Mohammad Asif: Federal Government

Toronto Dept: I need to decide if my kids should suffer hunger or let my wife go without her medicines, said the 35-year-old Afghan man, who worked for the Canadian military in Kandahar for three years before his family resettled here as government-sponsored refugees last year, according to The Star. In Toronto, a rally will be held at 1 p.m. outside the immigration office on St. Clair Ave. E and in two weeks, Mohammad Asif will have to choose between food for his three young children and medication for his ill wife, when Ottawa s planned cuts to refugee health care come into effect. On Monday, demonstrations are planned in 10 Canadian cities from St. John s to Vancouver and including Toronto to demand the federal government reverse the cuts, which take effect June 30.
