clay-court rio: The 20-year-old Shapovalov burst onto the scene a couple of years ago when he upset Rafael Nadal at the Canadian Open, according to CTV. He is now up to No. 23 in the rankings. What's not typical is that they have simultaneously broken into the world's elite ranks of tennis players -- and will all be worth watching when the French Open begins Sunday. The 18-year-old Auger-Aliassime's breakthrough came at the start of this year when he reached the final of the clay-court Rio Open. I grew up with Felix and Bianca and to see how far we've come, to see Bianca lifting up a Masters trophy, my mind is exploding, Shapovalov said in a recent interview. Then things really started heating up in March when Andreescu, who is also 18, beat five seeded players when she won the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California as a wild card entry; and Shapovalov and Auger-Aliassime -- as a qualifier -- both reached the semifinals of the Miami Open.

power religion: The Muslim NGO leader took to Facebook to complain that the stamp was another example of how Islam was being bullied since Pakatan Harapan came to power in May last year and that it could lead foreigners to think Malaysia is a Christian state when in fact, the stamp was part of a series on places of worship in Malaysia, which was first issued in 2016, two years before Harapan came to power, according to Rabble. Religion in New Malaysia must be a unifying force and there must be no room for political desperadoes to abuse it to justify kleptocracy, intolerance or extremism of any form. The most recent example is the statement by a Muslim NGO leader regarding Pos Malaysia issuing a stamp featuring St George's Church in Penang. As Malaysia is a multi-religious society, it is incumbent upon the state and all citizens to respect all religions and in fact, this is the first of the five Rukunegara principles Belief in God, which is based on the fundamental constitutional principle that Islam is the official religion of the federation while other religions and faiths can be practised in peace and harmony without any form of discrimination. The Quran said, Let there be no compulsion in religion... 2 256 and to you your religion, to me mine 109 6 . Religion is a great social force if used for the good of society and nation and the world at large. This is in full conformity with Islam, which clearly accepts the people's right to follow the religion of their choice. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

supreme court: More coverage from CTV News Vancouver B.C.'s minority NDP government, which took power on a promise to use every tool available to stop the expansion, swiftly announced plans to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, according to CTV. Our government said from the outset that we would stand up for British Columbia's environment, our economy and our coast, said Attorney General David Eby. The unanimous ruling from the B.C. Court of Appeal represented a major win for the project, which the federal government and Alberta see as crucial to getting more oilsands crude to overseas markets. Thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in economic activity would be put at risk by a diluted bitumen spill. A five-judge panel agreed that the amendments to B.C.'s Environmental Management Act were not constitutional because they would interfere with the federal government's exclusive jurisdiction over interprovincial pipelines. The province filed a constitutional reference question to the Appeal Court that asked whether it had the authority to create a permitting regime for companies that wished to increase their flow of diluted bitumen.

school project: League chairman David Finch said the move was unhelpful to Canada's identity as a constitutional monarchy, according to CTV. Downloading a print may be fine for a folder in a child's school project; but it ultimately discourages the hanging of display-sized photographic portraits of a beloved sovereign in government offices and public places right across the country, Finch said in a press release. The Monarchist League of Canada said it was informed by the Canadian Heritage department that it will no longer print portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, and the image will be available by download only. It will particularly impact on folk who are not tech-savvy, those who don't use computers and those living in medium and small-sized communities where there may not be copy shops to hand, and certainly not copy shops with large-sizes of coated stock or the capacity to print such an item. Finch said commercial printers had quoted him about 50 cents per picture, claiming cost to the government is entirely insignificant. The league said it was supportive of the government's move to reduce printing and welcomed the ability to download the picture. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

acosta children: The new series is headed by the shows original creators Amy Lippman and Christopher Keyser comes as millions of Latinos in the U.S. wrestle with the uncertainty around deportations and aggressive immigration enforcement under the Trump Administration, according to CTV.

hair follicles: By simply plucking a few hairs from your head, extracting and analyzing the cells, and storing them at cryogenic temperatures, the company says it can provide biological life insurance in the form of healthy, preserved cells that can be later transformed into stem cells to treat disease providing that advancements in genetic therapy have been made by the time you are diagnosed, according to CTV. Cell therapy is rapidly emerging as the future of healthcare, Drew Taylor, co-founder and CEO of Acorn Biolabs, told CTVNews.ca. Toronto-based Acorn Biolabs has developed a non-invasive method of preserving the genetic material found in the cells of human hair follicles. We need to work on banking our cells in advance so that when we are sick we have a source of cells that will drive the success of all of these potential therapies. In 2012, scientists from Britain and Japan were awarded a Nobel Prize after discovering that adult cells could be transformed into embryo-like stem cells that could regrow tissue in damaged organs. Regenerative medicine is widely seen as the next big step healthcare innovation. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

canadian population: But the Liberals' merit-based process for appointments has screened out 61.8 per cent of visible-minority candidates as insufficiently qualified, compared to 37.6 per cent of applicants who are not visible minorities, according to CTV. Visible-minority applicants who made it past that cut and into job competitions were less likely to be recommended or appointed. Documents from the Privy Council Office obtained through the access-to-information law, show that as of last year, 55.5 per cent of appointees to federal agencies, boards and organizations were women, slightly above their proportion in the Canadian population. This is one of the reasons why we need to know what constitutes merit, said Kathy Brock, a politics professor at Queen's University who has studied the changes in the appointments system. Months after taking power in late 2015, the Liberals changed how the government makes hundreds of appointments each year to positions such as the boards of Crown corporations and tribunals that make decisions on benefit payments and immigration claims. What are the criteria that are being used to screen people, and embedded in that criteria are there certain considerations that have a negative impact on those communities Despite the changes, final say still sits with the responsible minister or the Prime Minister's Office, meaning a partisan lens remains in place on appointments, Brock said.
