canada: To also help with a growing sense of western alienation, many analysts believe the Trudeau government will put heightened emphasis on the role of minister of intergovernmental affairs, according to CTV. Some sources suggested that Trudeau's cabinet will be bigger than before, with Ministry of Environment and Climate Change likely split into two portfolios. A new Parliament begins soon Sign up for our Capital Dispatch newsletter After the Tories' sweep of Western Canada in last month's election, some senior officials have hinted at the idea of having regional ministers who could represent concerns of communities across Canada. The Liberal cabinet is also expected to be gender balanced once again. Trudeau announced last month that he'd be unveiling his new cabinet on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Senior government officials are finalizing choices for the new cabinet over the next few days, but changes to portfolios are known to have occurred just hours before the official swearing in.

unionize amazon: One bright red poster says, Unionize Amazon and Tax Bezos in large white letters, according to Rabble. It offers a glimpse into a potential upcoming battle for Sawant now that she beat her rival, the business-backed Egan Orion, despite his unprecedented financial support from Amazon. One wall is plastered with every imaginable poster on policies she's pushed for, including rent control and 15 an hour minimum wage.

annalisa harris: Her chief-of-staff, Annalisa Harris, is at the centre of the controversy, according to CTV. TVA cited anonymous sources who said Harris had an authoritarian management style. The accusations have not targeted mayor Montgomery according to TVA Nouvelles, who first reported on the investigation. CTV News could not reach Harris on Friday.

college: She apparently attended an unaccredited Christian college called the University of the Nations, according to Rabble. She says she was part of a United Nations panel, but the U.N. has no record of her participation. She claims to be an alumna of Harvard Business School and a graduate of the Army War College even though she did not receive any degree from either institution. She even went so far as to create a fake Time magazine cover with her face on it. A grifter himself, Trump has filled his administration with people who either lack professional qualifications or ethical standards and often both. Chang would never have been appointed by any other president, yet she fits right into an administration headed by a president who notoriously created his own phony Time magazine cover.

hunting waterfowl: The birds ingest lead when they scavenge the carcasses of animals killed with lead shotgun pellets or rifle bullets that contain the toxin, Hope said, according to CTV. The Canadian government banned lead for hunting waterfowl two decades ago, and non-toxic shot is now required to hunt most migratory game birds across the country. The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society, or OWL, in Delta, B.C., is currently treating two eagles for lead poisoning and it can see up to 20 raptors each year, said long-time raptor caretaker Rob Hope. Lead shot is also prohibited for all types of hunting in 55 national wildlife areas. It's unclear how many birds are being poisoned and the source of the lead poisoning is hard to pin down, said John Elliott, a research scientist with Environment and Climate Change Canada in B.C. In addition to spent ammunition, the birds can also ingest lead through fishing tackle. But pellets and bullets containing lead are still widely used to hunt large game and upland game birds, such as grouse or pheasant. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

post view: Any politician worth his or her salt has steered well clear of it since at least 1992, when U.S. presidential candidate Ross Perot used it in a speech before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, according to CBC.

audience members: After a 45-minute panel, audience members were given the opportunity to ask Dubas and the other panellists questions and a university student asked about increasing diversity in sports, according to CTV. I think that other sports have done a far better job than hockey has in that regard, said Dubas, after citing a recent media report about the lack of diversity in hockey. Dubas spoke about needing a wider range of voices in hockey on Thursday night at the MLSE Foundation's speaker series. What I would say is that I know that our team was at the top of the list with about 16 per cent of our front office staff being women. More than 300 people were in attendance for the event at MLSE Launchpad, a facility in Toronto's downtown core owned by Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, that is dedicated to using sports to enrich the lives of youth. Toronto FC general manager Ali Curtis and MLSE chief technology officer Humza Teherany were also on the panel moderated by TSN's Lindsay Hamilton. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

refugees: That's nearly one in five Venezuelans, according to CTV. That is putting more stress on Venezuela's neighbours, which are absorbing most of the refugees at a time of rising political uncertainty on the continent. South America's borders remain the same, but the outflow of more than 4.5 million Venezuelan refugees in other countries is predicted to grow to more than six million by the end of 2020, according to new estimates from the United Nations refugee agency. That includes mass protests that have rocked Chile, causing it to cancel two major international summits, a contested election in Bolivia that has sent longtime president Evo Morales into exile in Mexico, the return of a left-leaning government in Argentina and the ascent of a Trump-style populist in Brazil. They and about four dozen other countries view Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the legitimate interim president. Earlier this year, Canada played a leading role in the Lima Group of the hemisphere's countries -- minus the United States -- that called on the Venezuelan military to back the ouster of the government of Nicolas Maduro.

earnings: In 2017, for example, Statistics Canada reported that men with an apprenticeship certificate in the skilled trades had median earnings of 72,955 in 2015, according to Georgia Asian. That was 31 percent higher than the average earnings of a high-school graduate but 11 percent less than those of men with a bachelor's degree. And there's no shortage of economic data that can boil this down to dollars and cents. For women, there was a big payoff in obtaining a bachelor's degree, according to the same report. Completing an apprenticeship did not result in higher earnings for women as it did for men, Statistics Canada reported. Those who did earned a median of 68,342, 40 percent more than those with a college diploma and 60 percent more than those with a high-school diploma. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

support: Prime Minister Trudeau has a choice, he can work with Conservatives who perhaps he can find a way to move forward with Conservatives, or he can seek our support, said Singh, according to CTV. A new Parliament begins soon Sign up for our Capital Dispatch newsletter If they want to pass a bill that's progressive, that's going to benefit all Canadians they have to work with New Democrats. Given the minority scenario Trudeau finds himself in, he will require support from opposition parties to move forward on key legislation. While Singh suggested the NDP and the Conservatives are Trudeau's likely option to seek support, the Bloc Quebecois now hold third-party status and the leverage that comes with. Mr. Singh said Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Fran ois Blanchet has made it known that he will only work to advance policies that benefit Quebec, not the entire country. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

alberta: Blanchet said that the more he hears about provincial leaders such as Alberta Premier Jason Kenney suggesting his province and others pay for the way of Quebecers, the more firm his response becomes, according to CTV. I don't know of any cheques signed by the Prime Minister of Alberta to the Government of Quebec. The separatist party leader met with his 32-member caucus many of whom are new to the Parliamentary precinct on Wednesday for the first time since the election. That just doesn't exist, said Blanchet. Earlier in the day, after a sit-down meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about party priorities and finding common ground on issues such as climate change, Blanchet said he wouldn't support western provinces in their separatist pursuits so long as they continue to promote the oil and gas sector. As far as I'm concerned, he owns oil and he can do whatever he wants with it. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

reasons: Canada's federal election in mid-October laid bare fractures between different parts of the country - resurgent separatists in Quebec joined by disgruntled provinces out west, according to National Observer. And that division out in the prairies seemingly only got worse once the votes were counted. That was the fear that drove so many people to the polls. Talk of western separation and Wexit followed the new minority Liberal government back to Ottawa. National Observer has since taken a closer look at some of the reasons for the divide between city and small town, urban dweller and farmer. But one of the biggest and perhaps hardest to solve fractures the vote exposed was not just between east and west or between Quebec and the rest of Canada, but between urban and rural voters.

revenue agency: They include establishing a provincial revenue agency, withdrawing from the Canada Pension Plan and replacing the RCMP with a provincial police force, according to CTV. Any of those would have to be endorsed in a referendum. Premier Jason Kenney's United Conservative government has formed a panel to examine ways for Alberta to get what he calls a fair deal in Canada. The way I work and the way we've operated the city is really to be as efficient as possible and to deliver services as efficiently as possible, Mayor Naheed Nenshi said Wednesday following a speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce ahead of his city council's upcoming budget talks. He noted the creation of the panel comes after a tough provincial budget that ended inflation indexing on assured income payments to people with severe disabilities, increased the interest rate on student loans, scrapped a funding agreement with Edmonton and Calgary, and reduced support for some seniors. And when I look at the things that panel is looking at, I see increased costs. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

election platform: A new Parliament begins soon Sign up for our Capital Dispatch newsletter The election of a new speaker the impartial overseer of parliamentary procedure and head of House administration is done by secret ballot, according to CTV. Those interested in the role are likely already reaching out to their colleagues to garner support. The Liberal minority-led 43rd Parliament will begin with MPs electing a new House of Commons Speaker, and then Governor General Julie Payette will preside over Trudeau's throne speech in the Senate. In the throne speech, Trudeau will unveil what his government's priorities will be and it's likely to include major aspects of their 2019 federal election platform such as climate change, affordability, gun control and pharmacare. Because of the renovations underway inside Centre Block, the House of Commons and Senate are now located in different buildings, which will add an extra layer of logistical considerations to the ceremony, which traditionally has the MPs walk down the hall from one chamber to the other, but now that procession will have to travel down Wellington Street from West Block to the Senate of Canada Building. These are also issues spoken to by other parties during the 40-day campaign. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

citizen nightclub: This kind of firepower is extraordinary, according to CTV. Our regular protective vests and equipment wouldn't be able to stop this. Alarming to me is the fact of the sheer firepower of these weapons, said Winnipeg police Chief Danny Smyth. Police said on Nov. 7 they learned that a man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant was at the funeral of Jamshaid Wahabi, who was killed on Nov. 2 at Citizen Nightclub. While police were arresting the suspect they found a loaded .50-calibre desert eagle semi-automatic handgun.

dachau i: Books such as Elie Wiesel's Night and Cynthia Ozick's The Shawl had not yet been written, according to Rabble. After that teenage confrontation with Dachau I have at times intentionally separated myself from the literature that describes the Holocaust because it pushes me into an abyss and makes me question God's reality in the midst of unspeakable suffering. This was in 1964, at a time when accounts of the Holocaust were not as accessible as they are now. This past summer, over 50 years after that first encounter with the Holocaust, I joined a group of Christians and Jews on a trip to visit some of the death camps and killing fields in Poland. At Auschwitz, Birkenau, Maj danek, and Treblinka, we paused to read scripture. We read aloud names of the dead as we stood next to one of the mass burial sites. (www.immigrantscanada.com).

For example, Anand Giridharadas, editor at large of TIME magazine, recently tweeted Astonishing. By not supporting Elizabeth Warren's policy proposal to confiscate an arbitrary percentage of his wealth for the workings of government, Gates is not only advancing white nationalism, but he's somehow morally suspect as an actual philanthropist. Bill Gates, the great philanthropist of our age, is so attached to his own wealth that he refuses to rule out voting to re-elect a white nationalist demagogue over Elizabeth Warren. if page width onload 479 document.write ' ' ; ; It should be noted that Giridharadas is making a moral argument here, not a practical one.

myanmar officials: Gambia's justice minister and attorney general, Abubacarr Marie Tambadou, told The Associated Press he wanted to send a clear message to Myanmar and to the rest of the international community that the world must not stand by and do nothing in the face of terrible atrocities that are occurring around us, according to CTV. It is a shame for our generation that we do nothing while genocide is unfolding right before our own eyes. Gambia filed the case on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Myanmar officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. More than 700,000 Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh to escape what has been called an ethnic cleansing campaign involving mass rapes, killings and the torching of homes.

If I had gone on and said a few things and done a few things I definitely would have been back, Cherry said in an interview with Newstalk 1010.
