home ownership: With restaurants, shopping, and other forms of entertainment off the table, many Canadians are spending less, but most of us aren't getting any richer, according to CTV. Millennials -- a generation defined by economic precarity -- are well aware that most universal rules aren't equally useful for everyone. Gone are the days -- if they ever existed -- when cutting back on lattes was the key to financial freedom and staying away from avocado toast was a one-way ticket to home ownership.

combat racism: In an effort to address systemic racism in Canada, CTVNews.ca asked readers to share their experiences of discrimination, according to CTV. Here are some of those experiences and reflections on what can be done to combat racism in the country.

In the summer of 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and other world leaders arrived at a swanky resort located two hours north of Toronto to take part in the annual G8 Summit. But if I had to pick one prime minister over the other between Harper and Mulroney I would pick Mulroney. As it turned out, the resort lies in the riding of then federal Industry Minister Tony Clement. He would later claim the money was dispersed for the G8 Summit.

people: Problem is, there's no published research that supports the figure, according to National Observer. It's based on years of sloppily collected RCMP data that doesn't examine the actual problems underlying violence against Indigenous women, and is grounded in racist assumptions about Indigenous people. The number was cited by white nationalist Faith Goldy, former editor-in-chief of The Walrus magazine Jonathan Kay and reams of others on social media who sought to undermine the report's finding that Canada's treatment of Indigenous people is genocide. What we have is people cherrypicking evidence and choosing evidence that supports their point of view without sharing with the public the limitations of what they're relying on, or putting that information in context, said Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada and member of the Gitksan First Nation.

u.s .,: This is the fifth year in a row that Canada has led the world in this category, as far as Brazilians are concerned, according to Georgia Asian. According to UBC political-science PhD candidate and Liu Institute scholar Deborah Barros Leal Farias, the reasons include relatively easy access to Canadian visas; cheap program prices; and fewer culture clashes when compared to the U.S., among other reasons. That's because Canada is once again Brazilians' first choice in where to go to study English, followed by the U.S. and the United Kingdom this is according to the Brazilian Educational and Language Travel Association, after surveying 89 Brazilian travel agencies . In addition, Brazil's consul general to Vancouver, Sergio Florencio, confirmed in an interview in his office that Vancouver, among all Canadian cities, is Brazilians' first choice as a place to study English abroad for both short or long periods. Farias and Florencio, through the consulate, offered free evening classes about Brazil to Vancouverites last September at SFU Harbour Centre. Here, the weather is great when comparing to Manitoba, for example. Florencio said he thought that Vancouver's relatively amenable climate and natural beauty are the main reasons for our city coming out on top. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
