Adam Giambrone: What have you been doing since you left politics?, according to The Star. Why a comeback and Here are some fair questions for Adam Giambrone. What have you learned? (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

Michael J. Fox: Michael J. Fox isnt bothered. He likes it. And he certainly looks good happy, relaxed confident. His right leg shakes as he sits and talks, but hes calm, keeps joking, oozing confidence. He needs it because hes returned to full-time work as an actor. The Michael J. Fox Show, a new sitcom airing on Global in Canada , is guaranteed a full-season, 22-episode run by NBC. More Related to this Story, according to Globe and Mail. Television Canuck callback?

Food trucks: Food trucks, serving a variety of well-prepared, high-quality cuisine, were supposed to bring jobs, vibrancy and more good food choices to the streets of Toronto, for residents and tourists alike. It hasnt happened, according to The Star. For two years I ve been fighting the good fight, trying to work within the system to nudge things along. My goal is simple: to get the City of Toronto to allow food trucks on public streets and in private parking lots. I never imagined it would be this difficult or maddening and The announcement on Thursday that the City of Toronto will allow food trucks to operate in five city parks is a disappointment to anyone who hoped the city would allow more trucks on city streets. It seems Torontos food truck strategy has been driven into the ditch by political and bureaucratic bungling and special interest interference. Torontos politicians and city bureaucrats should be embarrassed by their inaction. Hamilton, Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal and Vancouver have all moved ahead, allowing food trucks to serve a hungry public, while Toronto dithers. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

Parliament Hill: Its not a crisis that can be mitigated once a year by people singing O Canada on Parliament Hill until they re blue in the face and honouring the national mosaic by dancing, dressing up and consuming trans-oceanic cuisine. , according to Times Colonist. To be a Canadian is a wonderful thing. A lot of folk from elsewhere around the world want to be Canadians, and not just those seeking asylum from homeland horrors. Canadians seem to be going through another identity crisis these days not the usual kind whipped up by the CBC on or about Canada Day, but one far more serious. Its born of a mixture of the national governments fixation on past glories and old British symbols, the birth of a boy who might, or might not, one day be Canadas king, republicans who refuse to swear allegiance to his great-granny, and the news that children of Canadians born abroad at the wrong time arent Canadians, especially if they are or were bastards.

Pope Francis: Speaking from a white stage and looking out over the enormous crowd, Francis urged young Catholics to go out and spread their faith "to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.", according to Times Colonist. Later Sunday, he issued a more pointed message to the region's bishops, telling them to better look out for their flocks and put an end to the "clerical" culture that places priests on a pedestal often with what Francis called the "sinful complicity" of lay Catholics who hold the clergy in such high esteem and RIO DE JANEIRO - An estimated 3 million people poured onto Rio's Copacabana beach Sunday for the final Mass of Pope Francis' historic trip to his home continent, cheering the first Latin American pope in one of the biggest turnouts for a papal Mass in recent history. "The church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you!" he said to applause in his final homily of the World Youth Day festivities.

Annie Klein: I do everyone who doesnt speak onscreen, says the Victoria-based casting director for background performers, once commonly referred to as extras. , according to Times Colonist. A lot of people think its going to be fun, fun, fun, but in reality its wait, wait, wait, laughs Klein, who began her industry career as location manager on the Rosanna Arquette thriller Poison here 15 years ago before moving into casting. Annie Klein loves a man in uniform preferably dozens if she can get them. She isnt just into cops, military commanders and firefighters, however. Klein is also big on bikers, dog-walkers, diners, ballplayers, seniors, partygoers, high schoolers, runners, shoppers and jurors whatever it takes to furnish a movie or TV show with background characters required to unobtrusively complete a directors vision. Being one can be fulfilling, but its not as glamorous as it might sound, she cautions. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

BMO Financial Group.: "It is a summer blockbuster week for data," said Doug Porter, chief economist at BMO Financial Group. , according to Winnipeg Free Press. The Toronto market ended last week slightly lower after four consecutive positive weeks. The TSX moved down 37 points or 0.29 per cent lower, leaving the main index up 2.02 per cent year to date. TORONTO - Investors have their plates full this week as they prepare to digest a variety of top-drawer economic data and another week of earnings news from corporate Canada, particularly from the beaten-down resource sector. Traders will consider the latest economic growth data for Canada and the U.S., along with the latest reading on U.S. employment. And on top of that, they will also look for clues about the future of economic stimulus measures when the U.S. Federal Reserve holds its scheduled two-day meeting on interest rates.

Canada Job Grant: As expected, the premiers have dug in their heels against the Canada Job Grant, a forthcoming program devised by Ottawa to match federal and provincial funds with dollars from employers who want to train workers for specific, available jobs. Provincial leaders, including Albertas Alison Redford, have complained that the new grant will sap $300-million from existing provincial programs and take control over training away from the provinces, according to Globe and Mail. The premiers are also calling for flexibility in the way the Job Grant would work, and Jason Kenney, the new Employment Minister, has signalled he is willing to discuss adjusting the way the grant is deployed when he meets with provincial ministers this fall. That is encouraging, and there should be some give-and-take in settling the fine details and A united demand from Canadas 13 premiers that their provinces be allowed to opt out of a major new national job-training program is a misguided way to lead off an important federal-provincial negotiation. But the federal governments attempt to tie job training to employers with specific needs is worthwhile, if complicated, as Canada strives to better address labour shortages. Critics have said some existing provincial training programs were proving ineffective. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

Sylvie Therrien: A courageous risk, Editorial, July 25, according to The Star. There is no right or wrong way for a public servant to whistleblow against corruption either fiscal or ethical because the act of whistleblowing is always right and Re: A courageous risk, Editorial, July 25 I applaud Sylvie Therrien for her courageous, ethical stance and am grateful to her and those like her for their whistleblowing. As an Ontario public servant and a Canadian, I hope that I would have the courage of my own convictions when faced with implementing an unethical and often ruthless may I say stupid? politically-driven decision. It is no secret that politicians will throw public servants to the lions in the blink of an eye and we are scapegoats more often than not. The situation with Therrien is no different. Toronto police have been suspended with pay for years until serious allegations against them have been resolved, but Therrien gets suspended without pay? (www.immigrantscanada.com).
