mac gregor: An immigrant from El Salvador killed in a head-on collision on the Trans-Canada Highway Friday was a beloved father and husband who recently moved into a new home with his family, according to Brandon Sun. In 2012, Hassin Ventura moved to Canada to find a better life for his family, who only joined him in Canada last year. Ventura, 29, leaves behind a wife and two children. On Friday night, Ventura, 29, was driving home to Mac Gregor from his work in Portage la Prairie when he was struck by a pickup truck travelling the wrong way. He was very full of love for his family and a very kind guy," said co-worker and friend Orlando Alas. "When you talked to him, it was like talking to a brother."Ventura was recruited to Brandon by Maple Leaf Foods, where he worked on the production floor for almost four years. Six months ago, he started working as a forklift operator at Simplot Canada and quickly made friends."He was a honest man. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

oklahoma city: Just a few months after re-signing Russell Westbrook, the Thunder announced multi-year extensions for centre Steven Adams and guard Victor Oladipo not long after the trade deadline at midnight Eastern on Tuesday. "I think it was pretty clear that both guys wanted to be here," Thunder coach Billy Donovan said, according to Guelph Mercury. Getting the deals done now ensures the two young players with high ceilings won't become restricted free agents next summer, and it stabilizes the core around Westbrook now that Durant is gone. Four months later, Oklahoma City has a solid nucleus in place. Both potentially could have garnered more money on the open market. The Thunder did not provide details on the contracts. With uncertainty regarding the final details of a new collective bargaining agreement that will take effect next season, the Thunder went for the safe move, and the players were willing to sign.

raiders: Especially with the Falcons coming to town Thursday night. "We can say we played terrible, we can say we played OK, we can say we played good," Koetter said. "The bottom line is we had chances to win the game and we didn't." The Bucs sputtered offensively after a strong opening quarter against the Raiders, according to Guelph Mercury. The defence wilted late, with Oakland dominating time of possession and outgaining Tampa Bay 438 yards to 106 after halftime. Still, Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter had to talk Monday about an overtime loss to the Oakland Raiders a day earlier, even if he and his players are in a hurry to move on. Neither unit capitalized on mistakes by the Raiders, who committed the game only turnover and overcame an NFL-record 23 accepted penalties for 200 yards. "There a lot of examples of things we did wrong in that game," Koetter said. Preparation for the Falcons began Monday, beginning a condensed practice schedule ahead of Thursday. "The main hurdle by far is the players' bodies recovering and getting ready to play. ... We've got a laundry list of guys with bumps and bruises," Koetter said. There no time for decompressing this week, though. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

saskatchewan roughriders: The 46-year-old has rejoined the playoff-bound CFL club with a game left in the regular season after Richie Leone troubles with field goals and converts reached its breaking point over the weekend. "I had come to terms with my football career over," said McCallum, who spent last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders before retiring as a Lion in March. "Mentally I had moved on from it." The Vancouver native played 23 CFL seasons, including 11 with B.C. from 1993-1994 and then again from 2006-2014, according to The Waterloo Record. He has also suited up for 11 playoff games and two Grey Cups, winning in both 2006 and 2011 with the Lions. By Tuesday morning, he was back kicking with the B.C. Lions. And while he hadn't booted a football in ages, McCallum said he has stayed active. "Kicking soccer balls with my daughter," he said. "I feel pretty good. I've been kicking since I was four, so I figure I'll be OK." What hasn't been OK in 2016 for the Lions is Leone ability to hit field goals and converts. We'll see what happens. "It a ball.

america democracy: That much is virtually certain, according to Toronto Star. But what is also certain is that this won't be the end of it. By Tony Burman Foreign Affairs Columnist Sat., Oct. 29, 2016 By the end of election day Nov. 8, the overwhelming majority of American voters will have flushed Donald Trump squalid presidential candidacy down the sewer. Like a poison running through the bloodstream, this insane Trump insurgency will continue to haunt America democracy for years to come. There will, of course, be Trump himself and the extreme right wing, neo-fascist crowd — that shadowy basket of deplorables, as Hillary Clinton described them — that directs his candidacy from the backrooms. So who is to blame Decades from now when history passes its final judgment on who enabled this madness, there will be many defendants in the dock. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

czechoslovakian children: Nicholas Winton was a 29-year-old London stockbroker in December 1938 when a friend asked him to go to Prague to help in the refugee camps, according to CTV. He decided to do more after seeing that the children of those considered enemies of the Nazis, who had annexed part of western Czechoslovakia, were not being cared for. Barbara Winton late father, Nicholas, rescued more than 650 Czechoslovakian children, most of them Jewish, by putting them on trains to the U.K. and helping them escape Nazi-occupied Europe on the eve of World War II. In a letter posted on the website of the grassroots aid group Help Refugees, Winton drew a parallel between those children and a new generation fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East. "Even at a time when city evacuations were being planned for British children, homes were found for these vulnerable young refugees," she said of the Czech children resettled during the late 1930s. "Now, 77 years later, vulnerable young refugees again seek the kindness and welcome that British people previously offered." Britain is under pressure to accept young refugees from the Middle East and Africa after the closure of a large migrant camp in the French city of Calais, known as "the jungle." But there has been resistance to the idea, particularly after the vote to leave the European Union, which was fueled by public unease with growing immigration. "Those who have travelled across Europe to Calais, to escape the life-threatening dangers of their home country, are hoping desperately to find the sanctuary their parents dared to believe Britain would once again offer," Winton wrote. When Winton returned home, he set to work by taking letterhead from the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia, then typing underneath the words "Children Section." He eventually wrung a promise from the British government to let the children enter the country, provided he had a foster home arranged for each one and upon payment of a guarantee of 50 pounds per child. He arranged trains from Prague to the Netherlands, then ferries to take the children across the North Sea. Winton drew up lists of some 6,000 at-risk children and encouraged British families to take them in. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

infrastructure spending: At its core, the document will be a two-pronged sales pitch, according to Hamilton Spectator. For institutional investors, it will help to promote Canada as a safe investment haven in an uncertain world for their firms, which together hold trillions of dollars of capital — money that could fuel the country economic engines. Those objectives have pushed the document, which Morneau will deliver Tuesday afternoon in the House of Commons, beyond its traditional role as a laundry list of refreshed predictions for growth and the federal bottom line. Taxpayers will hear Morneau try to ease their fears about a growing deficit, arguing that Liberal measures like infrastructure spending and richer child benefits have already begun to help at a time of deteriorating economic conditions. Morneau will deliver the document two weeks before Black Rock, the globe largest asset manager, assembles a group of some of the biggest international financiers in Toronto for a key conference. Tuesday statement comes with the economy stuck in a slow-growth ditch following months of disappointing data and downgraded forecasts, and the Trudeau government engaged in a long-term effort to pull it out, with the help of Morneau external council of economic experts. "Our fall fiscal update will give people a sense of where the economy is right now, it will give them a sense of what we see as the growth rate over time," Morneau said Friday in Toronto. "It will also give them a sense of the way that we're going to work to improve our situation." The government has made attracting more private investment to Canada a central part of its strategy to lift the economy — which makes the timing of this year update of particular importance.

justice: Wildrose accountability critic Jason Nixon says he has no faith an investigation into Alberta Justice handling of a freedom-of-information request will get at the truth, according to CBC. In a letter released to CBC News Thursday, Clayton said her office had hired a private investigator to investigate whether Justice wilfully tried to mislead or obstruct the commissioner, or altered or falsified a record to evade freedom of information requests. FOIP commissioner orders investigation of Alberta Justice Nixon was responding to news that Alberta information commissioner, Jill Clayton, had ordered an investigation into whether Alberta Justice committed an offence under the freedom of information act when it processed FOIP requests from CBC News and lawyers for the tobacco industry about how the potentially lucrative contract came to be awarded. The commissioner has also asked Justice to appoint an independent prosecutor so as to avoid a potential conflict. Ministry hasn't produced records yet Earlier this week, McCallum recommended Clayton order an investigation after identifying several issues with the ministry behaviour, including the fact it arbitrarily narrowed the time frame of the requests. Clayton ordered the investigation based on the recommendation of former Nova Scotia FOIP commissioner Dulcie McCallum, who is adjudicating a long-running inquiry under the FOIP act into how Alberta Justice processed the requests from CBC News and the tobacco industry.

kilometres west: After all, Alberta capital is only 100 kilometres west of the town of 6,000 souls that is soon to be best known once again as home of Canada largest Ukrainian egg, according to Rabble. Judging from media coverage of IRCC bombshell, someone called a meeting of the centre staff on Thursday to tell them about the move and the news spread from there like the proverbial Prairie fire. The city in question will be Edmonton, which will considerably simplify the move from Vegreville scheduled for 2018. The local MP, Lakeland Conservative Shannon Stubbs, raised the matter in apocalyptic tones during the House of Commons Question Period yesterday, calling the plan an "out of touch, deliberate attack." Immigration Minister John McCallum responded: "It is a responsibility of the government to spend taxpayers' money wisely, to improve the efficiency of immigration, to reduce processing times and that is what this move will do." For his part, Mayor Myron Hayduk told an Edmonton reporter he only heard about the coup bureaucratique from "an informal source" at the meeting -- a text message, I'd bet -- in time to run across town and crash the party. The development appeared to some to belie the Sunny Ways, Sunny Ways narrative about Justin Trudeau prime ministership, especially in light of the Liberal Party of Canada surely-not-unexpected loss of a byelection in another bedrock-conservative Alberta riding just last Monday. He said he was ready "to make a trip to Ottawa myself and jump up and down in front there." The unexpected development hit the news just as most of the province overworked media were in far-away Calgary writing fulsome, lengthy and colourful stories about the historically significant but not very impactful "state memorial service" of former premier Jim Prentice, who was killed in a plane crash on Oct. 13.

population shift: Canada Towards 2030 speculates, "In 2030, the population shift to Ontario and the West will have redesigned our electoral map." It then draws the obvious conclusion: the East Coast and Quebec will, by necessity, become less important politically, according to The Waterloo Record. While many in the technology world worry about robots replacing workers, Canada Towards 2030 foresees — due to Canada low birth rate and changing demographics — the reverse: "Instead of plants, mines or labs closing due to foreign competition or high exchange rate, could they instead be forced to shut down because of labour shortage " However, the most obvious change in the next few decades is global warming. The project calls itself "a non-partisan and nonprescriptive foresight research initiative." "The Canada of tomorrow may not be the country it is today, and positioning ourselves, our cities and our organizations is key," the project says. "What will you do in 2030, where will you be " The only thing we can say for sure is that change is coming. The climate of Canada and the world will be fundamentally altered as the result of carbon emissions that nobody seems able to control. After all, it an ill wind that doesn't blow somebody some good. And although it seems prudent to try to reverse the growth of carbon emissions through the closure of coal-fired power plants, pursuing greater efficiency in energy usage and establishing carbon taxes, Canada has such a small carbon footprint globally that it might be useful to do the unthinkable: embrace global warming.

street encampments: Hollande also urged Britain to do more to help underage migrants in Calais, a port city that has long been a magnet for desperate travellers from the Mideast and Africa seeking to reach British shores. "We cannot tolerate camps," Hollande said, calling the street encampments "not worthy" of France. "We will evacuate the camps in Paris, because it cannot be a long-lasting solution." He played down concerns that the closure of the Calais camp this week has driven its residents to the sidewalks of Paris, notably near the Stalingrad subway station, according to Guelph Mercury. Most migrants recently amassing around the station are part of a "new migratory current coming from Libya these last weeks and months," Hollande said. The makeshift camps in Calais on the English Channel and in the French capital have become visible symbols of the country struggle to accommodate migrants and refugees seeking better lives in Europe. Migrant camps routinely sprout up in Paris, are cleared out, and then sprout up again. Hollande insisted that France would shelter asylum-seekers and deport those without the right to asylum. Paris regional authorities say 19,000 migrants have been shifted to temporary housing since June 2015. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

century ad: From prehistoric settlements in the ninth millennium BC to Mari, Aram and Phoenicia in the second millennium BC, to Hellenistic Seleukia, Roman and Christian Syria, to Islamic Bilad al-Sham in the seventh century AD, and on to a truncated modern nation-state, the country has sheltered diverse peoples and accumulated various religions and cultures, according to Globe and Mail. This is the true essence of Syria: home of 17 religions and sects, as well as multiple ethnicities and cultures. For many millennia, it was home to inbred cultures and a passage or destination for invading empires, migrant tribes and persecuted minorities. Some flourished for a long time and radiated their influences near and far. Still others inhabited particular niches in the land where they nurtured their own way of life. Others shone brightly for a brief moment before disappearing into the mist of history. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

housing markets: The province brought in the 15-per-cent property transfer tax on foreign buyers in Metro Vancouver on Aug. 2 in an effort to cool one of the hottest housing markets in North America."The number of offshore purchasers has dropped dramatically, and that means the pressure on local purchasers, often first-time purchasers, is much reduced," said cabinet minister Andrew Wilkinson, speaking on behalf of the finance minister on Friday."That exactly what our goal was and we're glad to see the market is calming down."Between Aug. 2 and Sept. 30, there were 152 home purchases involving foreign buyers in Metro Vancouver, or 1.3 per cent of all residential transactions, according to Vancouver Observer. That is slightly less than the provincial average of 1.7 per cent during the same period. The drop is dramatic compared with the seven-week period before the tax was introduced when foreign buyers accounted for 13.2 per cent of the residential purchases in the region. The province received an additional $10.1 million from the new tax. The goal was to calm down the real estate market."But the province cautioned that it unclear how many transactions that would have occurred in August or September were rushed through completion in July in order to avoid the tax. Wilkinson said the goal of the levy was not to collect more taxes from offshore investors, but to get them to reconsider buying into Metro Vancouver market."It was never our goal to get to a certain revenue amount with the tax.
