criticism: There's been no shortage of Albertans demanding that Kenney, leader of the Conservative opposition in the legislature, revoke Carpay's membership in the United Conservative Party for his odious comparison of the rainbow pride flag to the banners of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, according to Rabble. Kenney's even had a Postmedia political columnist -- a breed not usually associated with criticism of the UCP -- gently suggest that now might be an excellent time to advise Carpay his assistance is no longer required. Since the story broke over the long weekend, Carpay and his old comrade in social conservatism, Jason Kenney, have been subjected to a ferocious barrage of criticism, and not just on social media. Columnist Don Braid called Carpay's comment a dark, ugly slur, and reminded readers that the jackboot march to real totalitarianism always starts by demonizing minorities. That was said at a fundraiser for Carpay's so-called Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which earlier this year tried to get a court injunction to halt enforcement of the Alberta law preventing schools from informing parents when students join gay-straight alliances. Carpay's inadvisable commentary also reminded folks of the kind of things Kenney says when he's among friends, like that time last year when he compared Carpay to Rosa Parks, the civil rights activist best known for her role in the 1955 Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott.

dentistry schools: Vince Talotta / Toronto Star The payoff is especially high for immigrants facing greater barriers to employment refugees and family class immigrants who may arrive in this country without specific credentials to work here, according to Toronto Star. Family class immigrants with post-secondary education experience earned an average income 10,000 greater than those without post-secondary experience, eight years after arriving in Canada. Two years after their arrival in Canada, Tibetan refugee brothers Khamsum Wangdu right and Kunsang Namgyal were admitted to dentistry schools at U of T and Dalhousie University. For refugees, post-secondary education gave them an advantage of 9,000. Article Continued Below That may make all the difference for people belonging to those categories, including the 46,700 refugees who settled in Canada in 2016 alone. Post-secondary experience gives a bigger pay boost to women belonging to one of those categories than to men. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

force refugees: United Nations officials and international organizations have said such a return is unsafe due to ongoing violence and conditions that continue to force refugees to flee the country, according to CTV. Freeland and Bibeau say repatriation must not be rushed and they're urging Myanmar's government to ensure refugees that do return are protected and their human rights are upheld. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland and International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau say they are deeply concerned about a proposed repatriation of Rohingya refugees to Myanmar this month. Canada is also calling on Myanmar to grant full access to UN and international observers to monitor any repatriation efforts. In September, Parliament voted unanimously to strip Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi of her honorary Canadian citizenship for failing to stop the atrocities committed against the Rohingya people. More than 900,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar into neighbouring Bangladesh since August 2017. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

pakistani man: Currently, migrants who do not hold Canadian citizenship can only challenge detention through an immigration tribunal or a judicial review, according to CTV. The case was brought by Tusif Ur Rehman Chhina, a Pakistani man who sought refugee protection in Canada in 2006, but was later detained after authorities learned he had a criminal record. The Supreme Court of Canada heard arguments Wednesday on a case asking for immigration detainees to be given access to habeas corpus -- a legal provision allowing anyone being held in custody the right to challenge their detention before a judge. The Immigration and Review Board held 12 reviews of his detention and each time ordered that he remain incarcerated. A long list of interveners have also signed on, including Amnesty International, the Canadian Council for Refugees, the Canadian and B.C. Civil Liberties Associations, the Canadian Prison Law Association and Community and Legal Aid Services Programme. He has since been deported back to Pakistan, but his lawyers have continued to pursue the case. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

rohingya people: Vice President Mike Pence told Myanmar's leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Wednesday that the violence the Rohingya people have experienced is without excuse, according to Toronto Star. Suu Kyi said Myanmar's leaders are in a better position to explain the situation. In a meeting on the sidelines of a regional summit in Singapore, Pence told Suu Kyi that he was anxious to hear about progress in resolving the crisis, which stems from a violent military crackdown in Burma's Rakhine state that the United Nations has called ethnic cleansing. The violence and persecution by military and vigilantes that resulted in driving 700,000 Rohingya to Bangladesh is without excuse, Pence said. Pence also said Burma's arrest and conviction of two Reuters journalists was deeply troubling to millions of Americans. He added that he was eager to hear about how Burma will enable the Rohingya to voluntarily return home. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

omarosa i: Trump has denied the existence of such tapes, tweeting that the show's producer told him there are NO TAPES of the Apprentice where I used such a terrible and disgusting word as attributed by Wacky and Deranged Omarosa, according to Vancouver Courier. I don't have that word in my vocabulary, and never have, Trump said.

The case filed in Boston's federal court centres on the Trump administration's decision to end temporary protected status for thousands of immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and Honduras. Lawyers for Civil Rights says in the lawsuit that Trump's move to rescind the program was rooted in animus against immigrants of colour, citing comments he made on the campaign trial and in office. Temporary protected status provides safe havens for people from countries experiencing armed conflicts, natural disasters and other challenges. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

ray gun: Soon after the tragic news of Lee's passing, LA Times entertainment journalist Jen Yamato tweeted out one of Lee's old columns, Stan's Soapbox, which he would include at the end of his comics between 1965 and 2001, according to CTV. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today, an excerpt from Lee's column read. While characters he had a hand in creating -- including like Black Panther, X-Men and Spider-Man -- all overtly tackled bigotry, prejudices and racism, it was not uncommon for Lee himself to take a stand publicly. But, unlike, a team of costumed super-villains, they can't be halted with a punch in the snoot, or a zap from a ray gun. His column added that, a story without a message, however subliminal, is like a man without a soul. The only way to destroy them is to expose them to reveal them for the insidious evils they really are. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

star metro: Star Metro file Some of the big, most exciting changes are going to be in the kitchen, said Danielle Dungey, the librarian in charge of facilities and technology at the Halifax Central Library, according to Toronto Star.

While libraries of old wouldn't even let you eat a snack among the stacks, the Halifax Central Library is taking a different approach. The kitchen setup has proven to be too meagre.

supreme court: He is seen here greeted by friend Gebere Mageraga, after his release, according to Toronto Star. In a case that opens on Wednesday, the Supreme Court of Canada is being asked to clarify if immigration detainees are protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and can access habeas corpus. Ebrahim Toure right who had been held in detention pending deportation for 5 1/2 years, was released in September after his lawyer successfully asked an Ontario court to rule his detention unlawful under habeas corpus. Rick Madonik / Toronto Star File Photo While Canadian citizens serving a jail sentence are entitled to argue their case before a judge, foreign nationals held for immigration violations must appear before a federal tribunal, which has been criticized for rubber-stamping their continued incarceration. Until now, immigration detention has been a murky area of law between two levels of authority the federal government, which is responsible for immigration matters and runs the tribunal, and the provinces, which are in charge of detention facilities. Canada's highest court is being asked to clarify if immigration detainees are protected by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and can access what is legally known as habeas corpus a legal recourse that allows anyone held by the state to challenge the lawfulness of their detention.

power vacuum: Sarvanamuttu said the no-confidence vote leaves Sirisena with two options either to reinstate Ranil Wickremesinghe, whom he replaced with Rajapaksa on Oct. 26, as prime minister, or await the decision of the Supreme Court, which is due to issue a ruling on the ouster and subsequent government appointments on Dec. 7, according to Vancouver Courier. Lawmakers supporting Wickremesinghe had a visible majority in the chamber on Wednesday, with many wearing shawls emblazoned with the words For democracy. The motion brought by the head of an opposition party could mean that Rajapaksa will have to resign his post but does not necessarily mean the leader whose ousting set off the crisis will be reinstated, creating a power vacuum in the South Asian island nation.article continues below Trending Stories Vision Vancouver will not run a mayoral candidate for first time in party's history Update Innocent teen caught in crossfire of Saturday's shooting has died Vancouver keeps its standing on world's most liveable city podium Thermal imaging pilot project heats up Rajapaksa's government will fall, said Paikiasothy Sarvanamuttu, executive director of the Colombo-based nonpartisan Centre for Policy Alternatives civil society group, and among the petitioners who challenged the constitutionality of President Maithripala Sirisena's recent actions.

Before the results were announced, Rajapaksa walked out of the chamber. Jayasuriya then said he had no choice but to bypass the debate and take an oral vote, with those in favour clearly voicing more support for the motion than those against it.

water-cooler conversations: The Indian-American comedian, who rose to prominence as a correspondent on The Daily Show, tackles politics and culture in ways that suits both his progressive point of view and Netflix's format, according to NOW Magazine. Minhaj doesn't just cycle through the latest breaking news and water-cooler conversations. Rating NNNPatriot Act is not your typical talk show and that's not just because Hasan Minhaj is not your typical host. Instead, he picks a timely topic and deep dives in 20-minute segments that scour history and stats, giving you just enough background before he works his way toward what should be done going forward. The format gives Netflix a show that is both current for audiences hoping to brush up on recent news and then discuss it with some authority and evergreen.

legault: The shift that has received the most attention so far deals with religious symbols, a matter that Legault said he will handle himself, according to Rabble. The new government aims to restrict all public employees in a position of authority -- judges, law enforcement officers, correctional employees and teachers -- from wearing religious symbols. These changes were outlined during the campaign. The move is based, Legault has said, on the need to separate religion and the state. But the current numbers of Quebec judges, police and correctional officers wearing religious symbols is practically nil and there are very few teachers who were such symbols. On October 3, new deputy premier Genevi ve Guilbault announced that public officials would have a choice of removing their religious symbols or finding another job elsewhere in the public service.
