December 21The American Meme Bert Marcus's documentary about the way tabloid and reality TV culture has evolved on social media screened at Hot Docs earlier this year. Is this some weird conceptual sequel to A Quiet Place, or something else entirely The impressive cast which also includes Sarah Paulson, Tom Hollander, Parminder Nagra, John Malkovich and Trevante Rhodes intrigues, as does the fact that Arrival's Eric Heisserer is the one adapting Josh Malerman's 2014 novel.

Netflix has sparked backlash with body image-centric projects To The Bone and Insatiable, but so far the trailer for Dumplin' which is soundtracked by old and new Dolly Parton tunes and features RuPaul's Drag Race queen Ginger Minj in Dolly drag hasn't inspired heated commenting.

But in Kosovo, an old Ottoman-era tradition is bucking that trend, with religious authorities seeking to establish the training of women as spiritual teachers in mosques. They teach at three Muslim high schools, at Muslim centres, or they work voluntarily. Although in much of the Muslim world women teach other women, it is more common for that to occur at home or in event halls rather than in the mosques themselves. The move to establish the religious training of women in mosques where women are allocated places in a separate room from the men is seen by some as a way to make Kosovo's approach to Islam more gender-balanced at a time when many in the West view Islam as oppressive toward women.

han chinese: This is a Communist Party showcase for its efforts to tame the Xinjiang region, the heartland of China's often restive Uighur Muslim minority and an unforgiving terrain, according to CTV. The free or low-cost houses are assigned alternately to Uighurs and Han Chinese, who work side-by-side in greenhouses and send their children to school together. A Chinese flag flutters above the settlement, and a billboard at the entrance says, Welcome to the Hotan Unity New Village. It is the future the party envisions for Xinjiang after a massive security crackdown that has sent by some estimates more than a million Muslims to internment camps, and many of their children to orphanages. In their place are colorful murals of what authorities consider to be scenes of unity, such as a Uighur man and his family holding a Chinese flag.

Of the top 10 hospitals where such births were recorded, six are in the GTA. DREAMSTIME Statistics Canada has, since 2013, counted 1,561 babies about 312 annually born here to mothers, whose place of residence was listed outside Canada, based on figures from provincial birth registries. Birth tourism in Canada, where women late in pregnancy fly in to deliver their babies here, is controversial because the newborns are automatically Canadian citizens and enjoy full citizenship rights such as free education and lower university fees, even though their foreign parents aren't taxpayers.

ontario minister: I don't believe a federal briefing on the work of the task force will be necessary, but thank you for the offer, wrote an official representing Ontario Minister Lisa Mac Leod, declining an offer from a high-ranking federal public servant, according to National Observer. The briefing, offered at least twice in emails sent by a high-ranking federal public servant at the Privy Council Office PCO would have covered the work to date of a key government task force that looks at the influx of people crossing the Canada-U.S. border between ports of entry and claiming asylum.
