government officials: The list gives the most concrete figure yet for the number of women caught up in the trafficking schemes since 2018, according to CTV. But since the time it was put together in June, investigators' aggressive drive against the networks has largely ground to a halt. The list, obtained by The Associated Press, was compiled by Pakistani investigators determined to break up trafficking networks exploiting the country's poor and vulnerable. Officials with knowledge of the investigations say that is because of pressure from government officials fearful of hurting Pakistan's lucrative ties to Beijing. In October, a court in Faisalabad acquitted 31 Chinese nationals charged in connection with trafficking. The biggest case against traffickers has fallen apart. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

conspiracy theories: Users didn't have to like, share or save a single post for the algorithm to start recommending far-right propaganda; they simply had to click on one partisan meme, and the algorithm took care of the rest, according to National Observer. The study concludes that, through its algorithm, Pinterest may contribute to the dissemination of extremist memes as recommended popular items on its app. The analysis, conducted by researchers at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab DFRL found that after clicking just one anti-Trudeau post on Pinterest, the platform's algorithm quickly steered users into a far-right ecosystem flooded with disinformation, conspiracy theories and inflammatory memes. What people are reading Prospects look bleak for Canadian mountains, Arctic and coasts, says IPCCOntario auditor general slams Doug Ford's climate policies Ottawa accused of 'stalling tactics' over mercury treatment facility The findings are particularly important given that Pinterest is the second-most popular social media platform in Canada, accounting for 22 per cent of all traffic from Canadian social media users, according to the web analytics company Stat Counter. Yet according to the DFRL researchers, as election day approached, the platform increasingly became a repository for meme-based political smear campaigns. Despite its popularity, Pinterest is often left out or glossed over in discussions about mis- and disinformation on social media. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

griffith: At a court appearance in Los Angeles on Monday, a magistrate judge ruled Griffith should go free while the case against him proceeds, according to Rabble. Griffith was released on an 800,000 bond, which his parents and sister agreed to secure with their homes as collateral.

income supplement: Old age security and the accompanying guaranteed income supplement, which is given to low-income seniors, make up the federal government's most expensive benefit program, according to CTV. To be eligible, a person has to have lived in Canada for at least 10 years as an adult. Seniors who immigrated to Canada in the last two decades and received old-age security payments had low-income rates that were seven percentage points lower than those who didn't qualify for the monthly financial help. The study released Tuesday used census data to show that the old-age security program is more effective at reducing poverty among seniors the more time they spend in Canada. I don't think it's necessarily a surprise to see that it does have an impact on the low-income of senior immigrants once they have access to it, said Sebastien LaRochelle-Cote, editor of the agency's Insights on Canadian Society series that includes Tuesday's study. Overall, the national statistics office says a quarter of the approximately 200,000 senior immigrants who arrived in the two decades before the 2016 census are considered low-income by one standard measure.

jos bejarano: But to some indigenous Bolivians, his relationship with the planet is a complicated one, according to National Observer. Indigenous people form a majority in Bolivia. Evo Morales, who resigned as president of Bolivia and sought asylum in Mexico amid political turmoil earlier this month, repeatedly proclaimed himself a guardian of Pachamama, also known as Mother Earth.

Trump cautioned that the Democrats should hurry up and allow for the ratification of the deal before Canada and Mexico lose interest. Trudeau indicated no interest in pulling out of the deal, saying the relationship between Canada and the United States is incredibly strong, I don't think it's ever been stronger, and that work continues in Canada to also see the new NAFTA implemented.

The leaders of the country's Prairie provinces, which boast significant resource economies, expressed gratitude to their fellow first ministers.

kenney: And he's cynically betting that Canadians, unwilling or unable to investigate the matter on their own, will give him the benefit of the doubt, according to National Observer. But he's wrong. When Jason Kenney claims, without evidence, that Alberta's oilsands have been targeted by a cabal of American philanthropic foundations, he speaks with the confidence of someone who thinks his claims are unfalsifiable, impossible to disprove. His claims are, in fact, falsifiable. And, in this four-part series, we will prove it by systematically debunking nine key myths associated with Kenney's scare-mongering rhetoric.

The so-called officer asked the citizen for their name, social insurance number and other personal information, the SQ wrote in a press release on Friday.

european countries: Certainly that was a project the right wing benefited from but the reason many European countries gave up a degree of independence from each other is they saw the vice that the cold war presented, according to Rabble.

ek: Horvat's first book, What Does Europe Want The Union and Its Discontents was co-authored with i ek, according to Rabble. He has since modelled his writing style after i ek's, and Poetry from the Future is no exception. Horvat's claims to radical novelty are ironic, however, since his work seems to be a poor imitation of the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj i ek. It makes constant cinematic allusions; it relies heavily on jokes, Eastern European jokes in particular, purposefully catered to a Western audience; it invokes random encounters from his travels; and it unimaginatively uses the same old i ekian-inspired jargon to talk about the real, the imaginary and any adjacent theories of insurrections that have for so long been regurgitated by leftist theorists. Their ideas formed what is loosely known, nowadays, as the field of critical theory.
