monsef story: That prompted some people, including Conservative MP Tony Clement, to say she should step down from her position pending an inquiry into her citizenship application, according to The Waterloo Record. But Trudeau said people shouldn't be mixing Monsef story with those of people who have lied to get into the country. "People are mixing very different situations for political reasons," he told reporters. Maryam Monsef said in September she had recently found out she was born in Iran and not in Afghanistan as her mother had always told her. Trudeau said that sometimes when people are fleeing war — as in Monsef case — "there is not always perfect clarity on which side of the border one is born." People should not mix those cases with "very deliberate acts of omission or dishonesty in trying to get Canadian citizenship through fraudulent declarations or attestations," Trudeau said. By The Canadian Press Certain refugee-rights groups have said the federal government has revoked the citizenship of some people who are in a position similar to Monsef's. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

seagal: Seagal is the latest in a string of foreign celebrities to be awarded Russian nationality by the Kremlin in recent years, according to The Waterloo Record. Others include French actor Gerard Depardieu and U.S. boxer Roy Jones Jr. The 64-year-old Seagal has been a regular visitor to Russia in recent years and has accompanied Putin to several martial arts events, as well as vocally defending the Russian leader policies and criticizing the U.S. government. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Thursday that Seagal "has been insistent for a long time in asking to be granted Russian citizenship," adding that "he is known for his warm feelings to our country, he never made a secret of it, and he also a well-known actor, which gave grounds to make him a Russian citizen." Seagal did not immediately comment, though he has previously offered fulsome praise of Putin in numerous appearances on Russian state media. He also visited Russian ally and neighbour Belarus in August and sampled local vegetables with President Alexander Lukashenko. Seagal called Putin "one of the greatest world leaders if not the greatest world leader alive today" in a 2013 interview with the Russian state-owned TV channel RT. "He cares more about Russia than anybody I know and he not afraid to stand up and do what needs to get done." Besides his martial arts engagements with Putin, Seagal, who is Buddhist, has been a regular visitor to Buddhist regions of Russia. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

cuckold: There must be women out there who would love to have a loving, doting boyfriend or husband waiting at home while they go out with other men, but I tend to attract women who want the alpha male type, according to NOW Magazine. What can I do to find - or attract - the kind of woman I'm interested in Or should I go in for vanilla dating and then have a discussion about cuckolding after we've started having sex Another Lad Pursuing Humiliating Action"Most women, even dominant women, are still looking for guys who look like they 'kick ass and take names' in every other aspect of their lives," said Flee Market, one of the moderators of r/cuckold on Reddit. "As for how to find dominant women, I see a lot of submissive guys on various websites - Reddit, OkCupid, Tinder, Fet Life - and something they don't understand is that women looking for sex or love online tend to get buried in unsolicited PMs from thirsty guys. On the inside, though, I would like to find a strong, confident woman who wants a cuckolding relationship: she sleeps with other men while I am faithful and submissive to her. That makes it hard to find that one respectful PM from a guy like our letter writer here. In an effort to wrest "cuck" back from the bigots, and to mark the waning days of the Trump campaign, I'm dedicating this week column to "cuck" as properly understood: a guy who wants his partner to sleep with other men. The signal gets lost in the noise."Before we get to some practical advice for ALPHA, a quick word about the term "cuck." While it has long been an affectionate/horny term embraced by self-identified cuckold fetishists, the alt-right has attempted to turn "cuck" into a term of abuse, hurling it at any straight white man who gives a shit about racial justice, police brutality and the plight of undocumented immigrants.

hot-button subject: How many newcomers should be admitted, who gets in, where do they go and how should we help them — these are fair, if contentious, questions even in one of the most open and tolerant countries on Earth, according to The Waterloo Record. The federal government knows this well and acted wisely on Monday when it held the line on its 2017 immigration targets. But it is also a nation where immigration remains a hot-button subject. And it made this decision despite the recent call from its own Advisory Council on Economic Growth to aggressively boost annual immigration by a staggering 50 per cent over the next five years — to 450,000 newcomers. While Immigration Minister John McCallum didn't shut the door on the higher target, he opted to keep the goal for 2017 the same as in 2016: 300,000 newcomers. Those would mean levels never seen before in Canadian history but were justified, according to the advisory panel, because they would spur growth that would enrich us all. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

deaths: Evidence heard at trial included various statements the accused made before and after the deaths, according to Globe and Mail. For example, on police-installed listening devices, Mohammad Shafia was heard making derogatory comments about his daughters for dating, and accused them of shaming the family with their behaviour.

euros: The tally so far is more than 30,000 euros . The bailiff could confiscate goods to pay the fines."We're going to use all possible legal means to fight this affair, according to Metro News.

Immigration Minister Theo Francken, whose office supervises Belgium visa authority, has been visited by a bailiff directed by the tribunal, demanding 1,000 euros per person for each day that visas are not delivered. Friends in the city of Namur have offered to lodge and feed the family. He also believes the government and not courts should rule on visa policy. But Francken said their links with the would-be refugees are tenuous and that granting visas could set a precedent that would open the floodgates to other demands. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

police board: Levy has already served six years on the civilian board, which sets police policies and oversees a $164-million budget, according to Hamilton Spectator. Tick has served two years.

Both their current terms are set to expire this week. The seven-member police board is entirely white. By not replacing one or both with a qualified member of a visible minority the province has blown an opportunity to reflect Hamilton growing diversity, says Javid Mirza, a well-known member of the Muslim community."It too bad," said a disappointed Mirza, who submitted his own name to the province as a potential appointee at, he says, the urging of members of the Muslim community."I think the city has to look the way the city population is."About 18 per cent of Hamilton population is made up of visible minorities, including aboriginal Canadians.

ratio: Two main groups stand out in those traffic stop arrests: Middle Eastern and black men, according to Huffington Post Canada. Indeed, according to the study, Middle Eastern men were arrested 3.3 times more than what should be the case according to their representation in the Ottawa population. Things should be named as they are and in this regard the study is very explicit and indicative of racial profiling, at least used in arresting people from certain communities. For black drivers, this ratio was 2.3, while the ratio for white drivers was 0.9, slightly lower than their actual representation in the population. This is more evidence to deconstruct the popular saying that "there is no smoke without fire." A high number of arrests from certain racialized groups doesn't necessarily mean these individuals were deserving of it; thus, we can safely say that sometimes we might have "smoke" without having a "fire." The study goes further than simple traffic stops. What is even more disturbing is that the final outcome of these arrests showed that racialized groups are indeed more likely to be "let go" than the mainstream. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
