Montreal Monday: Radicalization and Ont .,

montreal monday: Goodale is to visit a Montreal centre devoted to preventing radicalization that leads to violence, according to Metro News. He is expected to speak broadly about the program but details aren't expected until a later date. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale is to be in Montreal Monday where he is to talk about how the government is moving ahead with a program designed to reach out to those who are vulnerable to radicalization in order to nip in the bud suspected terrorist plots like the one in southern Ontario last week. Last week, he stressed the importance of identifying those who are open to radicalization and finding the right way to prevent situations such as the death of a man in Strathroy, Ont., who was suspected of planning a terrorist attack. He is to visit the existing detention facility in Laval on Monday.A Red Cross investigation in 2014 found numerous shortcomings at facilities for immigrant detainees including overcrowding and inadequate mental health care. Goodale will announce the federal government will replace immigration detention facilities in Laval, Que., and Vancouver. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
