hillary clinton: Two agents rushed the Republican nominee off stage after someone yelled "Gun!", the Secret Service said in a statement, according to Brandon Sun. The person was apprehended but no weapon was found, the agency said. The divisive Republican outsider conceded he was largely on his own — even as he promised to march into Minnesota, a state that hasn't backed a GOP presidential nominee in more than four decades."Hillary Clinton has all of these celebrities and failed politicians out campaigning for her," a defiant Trump said in North Carolina, one of four battleground states he was visiting on Saturday. "I just have me, but I have my family."At a subsequent appearance in Nevada, a disturbance erupted near the podium in the middle of Trump speech. Trump returned minutes later and declared, "We will never be stopped."Meanwhile, Democrat Clinton faced dark skies in Florida, fighting intense rain and wind in a key battleground state before a Pennsylvania appearance with pop singer Katy Perry. Perry, who hugged Clinton while wearing a purple cape bearing the words, "I'm with Madam President," shouted, "In three days, let make history!"The final-days scramble highlighted sharp differences between the campaigns in a turbulent 2016 campaign season. Clinton was preparing to campaign Sunday with basketball superstar Lebron James, having shared the stage the night before with music diva Beyoncé and hip hop mogul husband Jay Z."Tonight, I want to hear you roar," a smiling Clinton said before introducing Perry for a Saturday night performance in Philadelphia.

person worldview: It may be hard for Canadians to fathom how this is happening, especially considering that Trump lacks the support of notable pillars of the Republican Party, according to National Observer. Prominent party leaders have jumped ship, some of the most moral members of the Moral Majority refuse to place their faith in him, and several conservative newspapers are endorsing a Democrat for the first time ever. Despite being outspent, out-debated, and out-organized, Donald Trump has a real shot at becoming the 45th U.S. president. It all a matter of perspectiveA big reason why this is not necessarily a death knell for the 2016 Republican candidate has to do with the power of a person worldview in influencing behaviour. By tapping deeply into certain worldviews, Trump has been able to attract followers from all over the political spectrum.A survey by the RAND Corporation during the Republican primary found that agreement with this statement: people like me don't have any say about what the government does trumped demographics such as gender, age, race/ethnicity, employment status, educational attainment and household income when it came to predicting who planned to vote for Trump. It turns out that how a person sees the world can be better than demographics--including party affiliation--in predicting how someone will vote. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

region johnston: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked Johnston to visit the region, according to The Waterloo Record. Johnston is the first Canadian Governor General to make state visits to Jordan and Israel. David Johnston wrapped up an eight-day, three-country tour of the Middle East on Saturday in which he affirmed Canada support for a negotiated Middle East peace -- preferably with the creation of an independent Palestine alongside Israel. The tour, which also included a stop in the West Bank, is expected to feed into the Liberal government effort to recalibrate Canada Middle East policy. Johnston told The Canadian Press in an interview from Jerusalem that resolving the historic conflict by creating an independent Palestine living in co-existence with Israel will help solve many of the problems currently plaguing the Middle East. Trudeau has promised a more balanced position after a decade of hardline Canadian support for Israel under Stephen Harper. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

west bank: The tour, which also included a stop in the West Bank, is expected to feed into the Liberal government effort to recalibrate Canada policy in the Middle East, according to The Waterloo Record. Trudeau has promised a more "balanced" position after a decade of hardline Canadian support for Israel under Stephen Harper. David Johnston said resolving the historic conflict, preferably with the creation of an independent Palestine living in peace next to Israel, will help solve many of the problems currently plaguing the region. "The way forward in this very specific region is a two-state solution and a just, long-standing and comprehensive peace," Johnston said in an interview from Jerusalem. "And if one can achieve that, one goes a long way in dealing with some of the larger problems that exist throughout the region." Johnston is the first Canadian Governor General to make state visits to Jordan and Israel. But the Governor General tour coincided with growing concerns over the fate of the peace process, and fears that a new round of armed violence between Israelis and Palestinians could break out at any moment. Palestinian leaders have been accused of encouraging and even inciting attacks against Israelis in East Jerusalem and other areas. Negotiations have been stalled for several years, with each side accusing the other of creating obstacles towards a negotiated settlement. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

On Monday, Kenya High Court will hear a petition filed by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights to challenge the government plan to close the camp, Amnesty International said Friday. The U.N. refugee agency "claims that it only supports voluntary returns, but none of the refugees whom we spoke with in Dadaab said they felt like they have much choice," said Mark Yarnell, who wrote the report after visiting Dadaab and Somalia. "It is a failure of the international refugee response system that other options are not available."The report says Kenya should lift its Nov. 30 deadline to close the camp, which has existed for a quarter-century and holds more than 250,000 people. Groups including Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch and the Norwegian Refugee Council also have expressed alarm in recent weeks over Kenya reported pressure on Somali refugees to leave. Kenya has expressed concern that some Dadaab residents are used by the Somalia-based al-Shabab to launch attacks inside Kenya. They say large parts of Somalia remain insecure and aid for returnees is limited. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

After Arkansas' 79-32 win over Oklahoma Baptist, Razorbacks coach Jimmy Dykes said he'd met with the players several times to discuss their plans to protest. "They had very, very strong, well-informed, educated opinions based on their real life experiences, their real life emotions," Dykes said. "I am very, very proud of them."

ontario council: One of the posters features a black man beside a white man, according to CBC. Underneath is the question: "Which one would you hire " The posters urge people to confront their attitudes about race. The new campaign that launched Friday aims to spark conversations about ingrained racism. They're part of a campaign launched by the City of Toronto and the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants. Douglas says the posters ask employers who see them to think about their gut reaction to the images. "And to be honest with themselves, and to say, 'Why did I automatically choose the white guy, why did I automatically choose the white woman What does that mean '" She said organizers don't expect the ads to change systemic racism, but they may help Torontonians raise their awareness and join the fight against racism.

scene: Then, there are the hallucinations he keeps having, estranging him from reality and making him wonder if he'll shortly be following his father into the afterlife, according to Globe and Mail. Acquiesce is a more meditative work than Yee earlier plays – such as lady in the red dress, which featured a time-travelling assassin redressing past wrongs against Chinese Canadians, or his Governor-General Award-winning drama, carried away on the crest of the wave, which shifted from one style to the next, scene to scene as it explored the after-effects of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. On the other side of the planet, Sin, born and raised in Canada, only feels more estrangement – with Kai looking down on him for his inability to speak Cantonese and ignorance of Buddhist rituals and tradition. What acquiesce does have that has been missing from much of Yee jumpy writing to date is a strong emotional side – something he been almost as evasive about exploring as the protagonist he plays here. Yee play certainly falls into that Canadian school of plays about the gap in understanding between the children of immigrants to this country and their parents. To be sure, Yee still has a desire to give the audience a show – one of Sin hallucinations is a stuffed Paddington Bear that dispenses advice in a Dizzee Rascal accent – but the mournfulness of the overall proceedings eventually gets under your skin and is strongly affecting.

skills shortage: In British Columbia alone, a million-plus job openings are expected by 2019 and more than three-quarters of those will require postsecondary education, according to Globe and Mail. Immigration is but one of several policy options available to the government to cushion the impact of a growing skills shortage and an aging population. Over the next decade, Canada will have a shortage of about two million skilled workers, in a work force of about 18 million people today. For that reason, Immigration Minister John McCallum is on the right track in announcing increased immigration targets of 300,000 for 2017, one of the most ambitious targets in more than a century. The balance are dependents, who may or may not enter the labour force at some point. Within that target, the number of economic immigrants has been increased to 172,000, but just over half of those will be principal applicants. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
