bybill weinberg: The May 31 decision came in a case originally filed as Washington vs, according to NOW Magazine. Sessions, although Jeff Sessions has since stepped down as attorney general. ByBill Weinberg Published on June 6, 2019 Share Tweet5 Comments Efforts to have cannabis rescheduled were moved forward last week by a 2-to-1 ruling of the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City, finding that the Drug Enforcement Administration must act promptly if formally petitioned to take another look at the question. It challenged the DEA's refusal to reconsider in a timely manner the current classification of cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance the most restrictive category under the federal Controlled Substances Act, along with heroin. Another co-plaintiff is disabled Iraq combat veteran Jose Belen, who uses medical cannabis to control his post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Court Mandates DEA Alacrity'The Second Circuit ruling does not actually decide the case but places it in abeyance while calling upon the DEA to ensure that any rescheduling petition is adjudicated with alacrity, as in sooner rather than later. Morphine and cocaine, in contrast, are actually in the less restrictive Schedule II. The case was brought by the Cannabis Cultural Association and is named for one its co-plaintiffs, retired professional football player and Super Bowl Champion Marvin Washington, who aspires to obtain grants under the Federal Minority Business Enterprise program for cannabis businesses specifically ones that would make cannabis available to sports professionals and others to reduce opioid dependency and addiction.

italian: With all the celebration, however, it's easy to forget that the story of Italian immigration to Vancouver is one that saw much hardship along with the joy, according to Georgia Asian. Following Italy's unification in 1871, the southern part of the country was impoverished and overpopulated. For many years at this time, Commercial Drive has come alive during the neighbourhood's annual Italian Day street party and what a time it'll be again this year, with an expected 300,000 guests arriving on June 10. With little opportunity to better themselves, the resulting diaspora saw almost nine million Italians depart for the Americas in search of pane e lavoro, or bread and work . Scores of these southern Italians found their way to British Columbia in the 1880s, lured by railroad, mining, and forestry work. Italians came here looking for a better opportunity to rear their children and find happiness for themselves. The railroad brought a lot of jobs for immigrants, says author Ray Culos, a local historian and an expert on Italian immigration. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

wsu: Administrators of both universities, which are affiliated, said Saturday's graduation for the technical university would be refocused on students, with a nursing graduate as the only speaker, according to CTV. Ivanka Trump visited WSU Tech's National Center for Aviation Training last fall. Administrators at Wichita State University and WSU Tech announced the decision late Thursday, just hours after they had announced that the president's daughter would be speaking to WSU Tech graduates. She responded in a tweet, saying, Our nation's campuses should be bastions of free speech. Listening to one another is important now more than ever! The tweet included a link to You Tube video of her telling the students who finished their degrees amid a global pandemic, You are a wartime graduate, and that their training has prepared them for exactly this moment.

book deadline: Coel stars as Arabella, a London writer and social media star, according to NOW Magazine. While procrastinating a major book deadline, she heads out to a bar where someone spikes her drink. But after watching a couple of its 12 half-hour episodes, you get a strong sense the British TV creator and actor is undertaking an exercise in demythologizing. Her memory is spotty but slowly she pieces together that she was sexually assaulted. Through an almost discursive structure, I May Destroy You flashes back and forward to flush out the lives of people testing boundaries and confronting impulses. This incident causes her to question everything her close relationships, her childhood memories and her behaviour toward others. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

census data: For example, Black Canadians make significantly less money than non-racialized Canadians regardless of how long their families have lived in Canada, according to CTV. First-generation Black Canadians make an average income of nearly 37,000, compared to an average income of 50,000 for new immigrants who are not members of a visible minority. The most recent census data from 2016 shows that Black Canadians face far steeper economic challenges than white Canadians and other racial groups. That wage gap doesn't go away over time. Those numbers are troubling but not surprising, says Andrea A. Davis, chair of York University's department of humanities and co-ordinator of the university's Black Canadian Studies Certificate. Third-generation Black Canadians make an average income of 32,000, compared with 48,000 for Canadians who aren't a visible minority a demographic that, due to the way census data is collected, includes Indigenous Canadians, who also experience income disparity.

credit cards: The residents of Montague, P.E.I. had made it a habit of budgeting using cash in envelopes but since fears of transmission of COVID-19 has given widespread pause to handling bills and coins, the two have entirely shifted to using a credit card for expenses, according to CTV. I just don't want to be touching money right now, says Elliott, but she can't foresee how shifting entirely away from cash would work in a place where every few houses has a table selling plants and produce and fishermen sell freshly caught lobsters right from their boats. They haven't touched it since. They aren't going to take cards or e-transfer for that, Elliott told CTVNews.ca. She's not going to take credit cards.

employment losses: The increase in the unemployment rate, which topped the previous record of 13.1 per cent set in December 1982, came as more people started looking for work, according to CTV. The monthly labour force survey showed that men gained back more jobs than women in May, resulting in a wider gender gap in employment losses as a result of COVID-19, and that the pandemic continued to disproportionately affect lower-wage workers. Still, the unemployment rate in May rose to 13.7 per cent, the highest level in more than four decades of comparable data. The increase in the number of jobs -- which mirrored a similar bump in the U.S. -- came after three million jobs were lost over March and April and about 2.5 million more had their hours slashed. Combined with the increase in jobs, Statistics Canada said the country recovered 10.6 per cent of employment losses and absences related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Statistics Canada said the number of people who worked less than half their usual hours fell by 292,000 in May. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

geneneral gowon: The year was 1970 and the day was January 15, according to Rabble. On that date in history, Major-General Phillip Efiong, Biafra's chief of general staff and interim head of state announced the end of the two-and-a-half year armed conflict that took the lives of an estimated two million human beings. Working together and not against each other will alter our trajectory and carry us further. Though Geneneral Gowon had declared the war as having no victor, no vanquished', which was widely hailed, the reality on the ground was far from the magnanimous picture he painted.

george floyd: It is recognizing that policing itself is a form of harm, says author Robyn Maynard, whose book Policing Black Lives chronicles the history of state violence against Black people in Canada, according to National Observer. What do we need to prioritize instead of these massive, bloated policing budgets, of over a billion dollars in the case of Toronto. The death of George Floyd, a Black man, at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer last month has revived calls to defund police amid frustration that reforms such as more sensitivity training for officers and the use of body cameras has not stopped police violence, which disproportionately targets people of colour. What would it mean to direct that towards people's real needs she asks. What people are reading It's time to call out denialism on racism and on climate change Canada's managed forests have turned into super-emitters, and 2018 set a record Inside Amazon with a fired whistleblower and former Maren Costa and Tim Bray But the concept of actively diverting funding from Toronto's police force, which has a long-acknowledged history of racial discrimination, is not on the agenda for John Tory, the city's mayor. This is a project that in many ways is calling for us to imagine and think about the possibility of safety entirely differently, she says. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

Wonder if Rahul Gandhi is looking at career change. Aspiring politicians have been known to write books both to come to terms with themselves as also to create their public persona for political gain.

block parties: This proves George Orwell's premise that governments will say one thing while they do the opposite, according to Georgia Asian. Vision Vancouver is proposing city-wide block parties as a means to engage citizens, rather than including people in meaningful discussions on how they want their city to develop over the next 30 years. Meanwhile, the Mayor's Engaged City Task Force is released with great fanfare declaring the virtues of earlier public involvement in the planning process. The Official Development Plan and Regional Context Statement is Vancouver's overarching plan. All of the city's development and land use policies are bundled up into this one document and presented with a plan to Metro Vancouver for approval. It will direct all development in the city of Vancouver for the next 30 years, which presently includes proposals to hand over regional designation of large swaths of the city, yet it is being fast-tracked through the system without public involvement.

hong: There are roughly 300,000 Canadians currently living in Hong Kong, according to CTV. All of those people are Canadian, and of course, dear Canadians living in Hong Kong, you are very, very welcome to come home anytime, Freeland said. She made the comment during a press conference Wednesday, just hours after U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson declared in an op-ed that his country would be willing to open the door to almost three million Hong Kong citizens. As the tensions continue to boil over in the region, Freeland would not commit to bringing in any specific amount of asylum seekers from Hong Kong. Canada continues to be a country that welcomes immigrants and asylum seeks from around the world, Freeland said.

donald trump: It's difficult not to notice similarities to the current U.S. president, Donald Trump, who publicly endorsed Johnson ahead of his state visit to the UK this week, according to NOW Magazine.
