justin trudeau: It should take nothing the prime minister says for truth, according to National Observer. The role of the press should be to examine Liberal truth from every side and help Canadians decide where the truth really lies. It should be critical and rich with detail. Mainstream political reporting isn't like The Trudeau Formula, though. It has let the Liberals mostly off the hook, which makes Lukacs' book stand out way out as a must-read analysis on the rise of Justin Trudeau. It too often reprints talking points or refuses to challenge comments that are not exactly true. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

Don't miss out on the latest news Sign up for our daily briefing The bilingual greeting has been widely adopted by retail workers in Montreal in an effort to welcome a diverse clientele, but it has also become a sore point among those who fear the gradual erosion of the French language in the province's largest city. Simon Jolin-Barrette, who is also minister responsible for the French language, said the government will work to encourage retailers to greet customers in French, but he shut the door on the idea of forcing them by law. On Friday, Jolin-Barrette said the province was looking for a way to ban the greeting as a way of building on two unanimous motions passed in the legislature calling on store clerks to stick to a simple bonjour. Unilingual French greetings dropped to 75 per cent from 84 per cent over the same period. ; Jolin-Barrette did not specify how he planned to accomplish the ban but insisted to reporters that people want to be welcomed in French an assertion he repeated Monday. As justification, he cited a recent study by Quebec's language watchdog that suggested bilingual greetings became twice as frequent between 2010 and 2017, making up eight per cent of all greetings in Montreal.

bernard looney: Dudley will retire in March, ending a 40-year career that began at Amoco, which was later bought by BP. He became CEO in 2010, shortly after a fire and explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig killed 11 workers and created an environmental catastrophe as oil gushed from the broken well at the bottom of the Gulf, according to CTV. Dudley, who grew up in Mississippi and was the first American to lead BP, succeeded Tony Hayward, who was criticized for his response to the spill -- famously complaining that he wanted his life back. Bernard Looney, 49, will become CEO and take Dudley's seat on the board in February, after the 64-year-old Dudley delivers the company's 2019 full-year financial results.

Bob Dudley took over a BP that was in deep crisis and built it back into a resurgent global player, restoring confidence outside the company, including with investors, and most crucially among BP's own employees, said Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of research firm IHS Markit and author of a sweeping book about the history of the oil industry.

election: Sign up for our Election Dispatch newsletter for a daily update on the campaign There's the real risk of a chilling effect on the Canadian election, the researchers say, according to CTV. Unable to discern real from fake, people will just disengage from politics altogether. Researchers from the Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center say they are already seeing fake images related to the controversy circulating online, and being shared among prominent U.S. operators who have amplified disinformation in the past. The result is far fewer voices and much less vibrant and healthy elections--and democracies, the Technology and Social Change Research Project concludes. Trudeau's inability to say with certainty whether more photos or images exist opens up space for hoaxers to just create their own. There are a number of aspects of the Trudeau controversy that make it vulnerable to disinformation and its effects, said Jon Penney, one of the lead researchers on the project.

murshidabad district: For Muslims in the eastern Indian state, which borders Bangladesh, these are nervy times, according to Rabble. Panic has swept through the Muslim community, which makes up 34 percent of the West Bengal population, following last month's announcement by the Indian Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah that the National Register of Citizens NRC would be implemented throughout the country. The 33-year-old daily wage worker joined hundreds of men and women with similar concerns standing in line outside the government Block Development Office in Basudevpur, in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal. The NRC is designed to identify genuine citizens of India while declaring anyone without valid papers as stateless. Half of them were thought to be Hindus. In the northeastern state of Assam, where the checks were recently applied, more than 1.9 million people of all faiths were branded stateless because their names did not appear on the official citizenship list.
