future challenges: But with the faith in each other and the faith in God, we will get the job done, the president said, according to Guelph Mercury. We will prove worthy of this moment in history. Speaking in the White House East Room during a swearing-in ceremony for top aides, the president warned his staff of future challenges but declared he believed they were ready. And I think it may very well be a great moment in history. He said his staff was in the White House not to help ourselves but to devote ourselves to the national good. Trump's reassurance came after a day marked by global protests against his presidency and his own complaints about media coverage of his inauguration. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

jordan: It was the beginning of the war, he said, according to The Waterloo Record. We went to Jordan, after the house was destroyed, under a UN program. Through an Arabic interpreter, the Syrian refugee now living in Kitchener said it was a sad moment but he knew he could rebuild. During his four years in Jordan, Bakhash was not able to do as much of the intricate plastering work that made him a highly sought after artisan in his homeland. The UN said 'would you like to go to Canada ' he recalled. Then, an unexpected opportunity arose. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

media users: The Canadian Press photo struck a chord with social media users, with some interpreting the boy's expression as frustration with the prime minister, according to The Waterloo Record. Trudeau had a more light-hearted take on the scene, joking that as a former teacher, he's used to speaking in front of an audience of squirming children. Abdel Kader Al Shaikh was photographed covering his hands over his eyes with his head tilted towards the ceiling as he sat in the front row of Trudeau's town hall in Fredericton last week. I haven't seen faces like these kids' since I taught math class, Trudeau wrote in a tweet that generated thousands of likes. Hassan Al Shaikh said he and his wife, Radia, along with four of their seven children waited for two hours to see Trudeau, even letting some of the kids skip school so they could see their hero in person. Thanks New Brunswick!

monkey chants: Plea, who is Balotelli's strike partner, told French football show Telefoot on Sunday that he heard the abuse, according to Guelph Mercury. Yes, I can confirm it.

speeches: Speeches are simply words, according to National Observer. Trump has always held himself up as a man of action, and friends, family and colleagues have repeatedly noted that he is very mentally and physically restless and reactive. His inaugural speech is, not surprisingly, remarkably consistent with the messaging that he has been putting out since he began seeking to be president. While he made many speeches during the campaign for presidency, these have usually been made from notes, with a considerable amount of informal improvisation in response to the audience and even to individual persons arrayed before him. In addition, in the past he has spoken predominantly to his followers, not to the entire United States,or to the world as a whole. Formal speechmaking directly from a written text, on the other hand, is not something he has done all that often. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

basketball game: Malzahn hired Chip Lindsey as co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach on Saturday, handing him the reins of an offence that has sputtered in the passing game since the 2013 Southeastern Conference championship season, according to Hamilton Spectator. Transfer quarterback Jarrett Stidham, meanwhile, got a huge ovation when he was among the football newcomers introduced at halftime of Auburn's basketball game against Alabama. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn has a new offensive co-ordinator and quarterback, and is hoping that combination helps fuel a passing revival. I think we're in as good a spot offensively as any other time I've been at Auburn, Malzahn said after the game. Lindsey spent last season in the same job at Arizona State. He's counting on it after two straight 8-5 seasons. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

degree: But by another metric, Trump's nominees fall short academic degrees, according to Toronto Star. As a whole, Trump's picks to lead the nation's government agencies have fewer advanced degrees than any first-term cabinet in at least 24 years.A third of the nominees in Trump's 15-member executive team hold only a bachelor's degree. Saul Loeb / AP By Tracy Jan The Washington Post Fri., Jan. 20, 2017 As his cabinet nominees were grilled by the Senate on the eve of his inauguration, then-President-elect Donald Trump declared that We have by far the highest IQ of any Cabinet ever assembled! It's a grandiose assertion, one that's impossible to know. A quarter obtained up to a master's degree, and 40 per cent achieved a law or medical degree. Compare that to President Obama's original cabinet, which conservatives derided for being stacked with intellectual elites Only two members held a bachelor's degree alone. No one has a doctorate.

interests: He insisted he would govern for all Americans regardless of race and also sought good relations with other countries, although the speech also carried a hard-edged and specific vow to fight Islamic terrorism, according to Hamilton Spectator. We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world, but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first, Trump said. Trump's inaugural address was an echo of his stump speeches, littered with messages about the ravages of globalization, forgotten workers and ineffectual political elites too taken by international interests to tackle the challenges facing the middle class. From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. He continued Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

Thousands gathered in downtown Toronto, thousands more in Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and Winnipeg. In all, more than two million people participated. There was even a march in Antarctica.

canada: Canada and the United States have built one of the closest relationships between any two countries in the world, the statement reads, according to Hamilton Spectator. This enduring partnership is essential to our shared prosperity and security. The subtext of Trudeau's Inauguration Day statement is, of course, the myriad unknowns that surround what might be in store for Canada as Donald Trump takes over. Robust trade, investment and inexorable economic links have long tied together the two countries, supporting millions of Canadian and American jobs, it continues. Canada and the United States have unparalleled co-operation on matters of national security, and have always worked side by side to protect our citizens and ensure our shared border is secure. We both want to build economies where the middle class, and those working hard to join it, have a fair shot at success, Trudeau says. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

family: The investiture of President Donald Trump is a natural development the nation has been building toward for half a century, according to CBC.

But it's not a moment. You know, shamed by political correctness. All in the Family made it all right even funny to say out loud the things that people had been shamed into murmuring quietly.
