west: Mugabe enjoyed strong support from Zimbabwe's people and even the West soon after he became prime minister in 1980 and then the country's first post-colonial leader, according to CTV. But he was reviled in later years as the economy collapsed and human rights violations increased. He was 95. The often violent takeover of farms from whites who owned huge tracts of land made him a hated figure in the West and a hero in Africa. Mnangagwa, a long-time loyalist until Mugabe dismissed him from his Cabinet, named Mugabe as a national hero, Zimbabwe's highest posthumous honour. His successor, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, tweeted word Friday that an icon of liberation had died. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

briefing i: It's weird that two reputable international media outlets would publish false stories about Canadian immigration in the span of one week, but two examples don't amount to a trend, said Stephanie Carvin, an assistant professor of international affairs at Carleton University and former national security analyst, according to National Observer. Don't miss out on the latest news Sign up for our daily briefing I think it's way too early to say there's anything going on, she said. Then, an Israeli newspaper published a fake story Wednesday about Canada quietly taking in 100,000 Palestinians. I do think it's strange to have two stories published in major international newspapers about the idea of foreigners coming to Canada for some kind of secret deal. The National Post debunked the claim in June after a previous round of gossip, but Saturday's recycled rumour mill was quickly picked up by other media, including the widely read tabloid the Daily Mail. The first story came from the Daily Star on Saturday, after the British tabloid published an article claiming Jon Venables who was convicted of killing a two-year-old in 1993, when he was 10 would likely be sent to Canada.

press release: Sign up for our Election Dispatch newsletter for a daily update on the campaign, once the federal election is underway In the new position he will have a direct line to Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, and will be the face and voice of Canada in China, according to CTV. Barton will provide strategic guidance, to Trudeau, said the Prime Minister's Office in a press release announcing his pick to fill a role that has been vacant for months amid still strained diplomatic relations. Barton, a prominent Canadian figure on international economic matters, has advised Trudeau's cabinet, and previously chaired the Liberal government's Advisory Council on Economic Growth. Canada has been without an ambassador since January when Trudeau asked former Liberal cabinet minister John McCallum to resign after coming under fire for twice commenting publicly and not in line with the government's position, on Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou's legal case, after her arrest in Vancouver in December. Trade tensions have also been strained, with China blocking Canada's canola exports to the country and increasing its inspections of Canadian meat products. Canada and China have been locked in a diplomatic dispute since her arrest on an extradition request from the United States, which was followed soon after by China detaining Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor.

resident: It is an absolute myth to suggest that there is a possibility this person is entering Canada unless they are a citizen or permanent resident, lawyer Richard Kurland told CTVNews.ca in a telephone interview from Vancouver, according to CTV. The false story began circulating on Saturday after U.K. tabloid The Daily Star published a report suggesting that Venables was being sent to Canada due to the high cost of keeping his identity a secret in Britain. In fact, due to Canada's tight immigration regulations, it's highly unlikely that someone with such a criminal conviction would be allowed to enter the country, according to a Vancouver-based immigration lawyer. Venables was 10 years old when he and his friend Robert Thompson abducted and killed two-year-old James Bulger in 1993. In an email to The Canadian Press, a spokesperson for the U.K. Ministry of Justice called the story categorically untrue. Both were granted lifelong anonymity after being released from custody; however, Venables was later charged with additional offences related to indecent images of children.

plant cannabis: The judge ruled unconstitutional the sections of the Quebec Cannabis Regulation Act prohibiting the possession and the cultivation for personal purposes of cannabis plants, according to National Observer. Don't miss out on the latest news Sign up for our daily briefing The decision means it is now legal to grow cannabis plants at home in Quebec, but the lawyer who argued the case on behalf of a man seeking to strike down the sections cautioned against a rush to plant cannabis. Quebec Superior Court Justice Manon Lavoie ruled Tuesday that Quebec's legislation infringed upon the jurisdiction of the federal government, which has sole responsibility for legislating on criminal matters. Julien Fortier said the province's lawyers could appeal and ask that the contested provisions remain in force for the duration of the appeal. Federal law allows Canadian citizens to grow up to four cannabis plants at home, but Quebec chose in June 2018 to legislate against home cultivation. ; (www.immigrantscanada.com).

force canadians: May would rather defeat a government and ultimately force Canadians back to the polls rather than allow a party with a climate plan not up to her standards to govern, according to CTV. Frankly, no party currently has a policy that is adequate it's about getting a deal for our kids to ensure a livable world and if there isn't, if that isn't on the table, then we won't support anyone, May told host Don Martin in an interview that aired on CTV Power Play on Monday. That means, should the Oct. 21 federal election result in a minority government with the Greens holding the balance of power, May says Canadians could be headed back to the polls. We actually would bring a government down and go back to the polls to get a government that's prepared to be responsible. Minority governments are formed when there's no party that wins a majority of the seats in the House of Commons after a federal election. May said she hopes that this existential political threat would prompt leaders to carefully consider their obligations to continue to form government. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

anti-immigrant messaging: The billboards, which appeared in several Canadian cities, were met with swift backlash, according to National Observer. Social media lit up with condemnation of the anti-immigrant messaging. The recent controversy surrounding this series of ads promoting the PPC's anti-immigrant agenda highlights the potentially problematic role of third parties in election campaigns, both as vehicles for outside influence and as shields that help candidates evade accountability in the face of public criticism.

assam state: He urged India to ensure no one ends up stateless, including by ensuring adequate access to information, legal aid, and legal recourse in accordance with the highest standards of due process, according to CTV. About 31.1 million people were included on the list Assam's government released Saturday, omitting 1.9 million. Any process that could leave large numbers of people without a nationality would be an enormous blow to global efforts to eradicate statelessness, Filippo Grandi, the U.N. high commissioner for refugees, said in a statement issued Sunday in Geneva. The list -- known as the National Register of Citizens, or NRC -- is unique to Assam state, in India's far northeast bordering Bangladesh. It's unclear what happens next.

appeal: The Supreme Court adopted the hybrid model, which considers both parental intention and the circumstances of the children in determining where the children are habitually resident, the Appeal Court said, according to CTV. This appeal presents this court with an opportunity to consider and apply the new approach to habitual residence. In its decision released Friday, the Court of Appeal noted that looking only at where the warring parents had intended to live, as used to be the case, was no longer valid. The case arose because Nils Ludwig, a German citizen, wanted to take his four children back to Germany, where they had been raised. Under the Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction -- widely known as the Hague Convention -- determining habitual residence determines whether a child has been wrongfully taken to, or kept in, a particular jurisdiction. His estranged wife, Jennifer Ludwig, a Canadian citizen, wanted to stay with them in Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

conference-call planning: We talked about demo-fatigue and sound systems, the far right who, inexplicably, were marched by police straight through the Stop TheCoup march at the weekend but nobody argued about whether or not we should be protesting, according to Rabble. The debate on our current crisis has concentrated on proroguing, but it is no more than the instrument of what has occurred the executive has moved against the parliament. I was on the conference-call planning it, and we argued about whether or not coup was the right word, whether to start at 5pm or 6pm, whether to protest daily or concentrate on the Saturday. Not tricked it, outwitted it, bullied it, or won it round moved explicitly against it. To watch it happen and accede to it with silence would be unpatriotic, an act of bad citizenship.

st george: Winter is coming, according to Rabble. Who knows how a swan song Wayne Rooney hat-trick in that game might have affected voting intentions a couple of days later What is certain, however, is that only a government as insouciant or incompetent as David Cameron's would have called a vote on Britain's European future while fans clothed and tattooed in the flag of St George were defending the honour of our boys in the fountains and pavement cafes of France and our up-and-at-'em footballing nation was sensing a new humiliation at the hands of those sophisticated operatives from across the channel. Donald Tusk tweeted presciently or gleefully UK-Iceland, 1-2. In hindsight, the most telling image of England's campaign was that of our travelling supporters army scarily outnumbered and battered by tooled-up Russian ultras, who delivered what appeared to be a calculated missive from the Putin government. In analysing England's football culture over the last 30 years he makes the point that it was at the generally joyful 1996 tournament that the union jack was abandoned by England's fans and a new narrower nationalism emerged. The message on the stadium advertising hoardings underneath that image was the French tournament's unfortunate motto Rendez-vous with history .
