Citizenship And Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Honorary Degree

University Of Haifa Dept: Banging drums and waving signs, the crowd chanted outside the Royal York Hotel where Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney was receiving an honorary degree from Israel's University of Haifa, according to CBC. Demonstrators could be heard chanting "Shame on Kenney!" and "No one illegal" at people going to the black-tie dinner held to honour the minister and protesters took over an intersection in downtown Toronto late Sunday to decry the Harper government's immigration policies. Organizers say the rally, which began with a march through downtown Toronto, was to protest against what they call Ottawa's "racist" immigration policies. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
