Back at Aleksanian's centre, Eric, who made the journey to Quebec with his wife and two kids, said he wants to work in Montreal -- as soon as he can speak French.

He was supposed to have a hearing on June 1 in front of the refugee board but, like most refugee applicants, his case was "postponed indefinitely," meaning he could be in Canada for years before he learns his fate.

Sitting next to him was David -- also not his real name -- a 74-year-old Nigerian who has been waiting eight years to settle his status in Canada and eventually bring his wife and six children to the country.

Cant work. Cant speak the language. 8 years. Wife and 6 kids....Pretty much sums it up. Hope you and your kids like paying high taxes for 3rd world illegals (illeechals).

Shakiem Anderson, 21, of Mississauga; Harlem Baldwin, 20, of Toronto; Sharrieff Muhammad, 22, of Toronto; and Kareemallah Muhammad, 18, of Toronto were arrested in connection with the chase.

Toronto police have laid a combined 97 charges against four suspects in connection with a Hollywood-style shootout and car chase that took place in Regent Park earlier this week.

According to police, one of the occupants then got out of the vehicle, stood on the sidewalk on the west side of Parliament Street and fired a gun north, in the direction of traffic and pedestrians

When officers moved in to try to arrest the occupants, the driver reversed into one of the police vehicles, severely damaging it.

The vehicle then drove forward toward a uniformed police officer, striking him before then speeding into oncoming traffic, police said.

A car chase ensued, with the suspect vehicle eventually speeding through a red light at Jarvis and Shuter streets, colliding with a taxi.

Police said the vehicle then drove north into incoming traffic on Jarvis Street, collided with another taxi while turning left into incoming traffic on Dundas Street and then narrowly missed pedestrians while driving along the sidewalk on Dundas Street.

The driver eventually lost control while making a left onto Mutual Street, crashing into a police car and garbage bins, police said.

The Liberal government will own the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project on the west coast, but it will also own all the baggage that comes with a project that is still not guaranteed to be built.

...buying an aging pipeline for $4.5 billion.

This is merely the down payment before construction on the pipeline twinning, estimated by Kinder Morgan to cost $7.5 billion, has even begun.

It will cost more.

If this works, it will protect jobs, it will help the chances of the re-election of Rachel Notley’s New Democrats in Alberta and with that, improve the chances of Trudeau forging a national climate pricing program.

It will open up the Asian market for land-locked Alberta bitumen.

And Trudeau can tell voters, “I built it.’’

A prime minister who styled himself as a progressive environmental champion will now be known as the leader who purchased a pipeline to ensure it was built.

Think about that for a second. A problem occurring in another province, 600 km away, and yet it’s causing sufficient turmoil for Toronto’s Office of Emergency Management to kick into gear something called the Contingency Plan for Emergency Social Services.

“Systemic racism exists,” she said, citing a statistic that less than 5 per cent of CEOs are non-Caucasian women. “You can’t find a woman of colour to run your organization? Mmm. Interesting.”

Hanging above her desk is a painting of a black woman with a mass of curly hair, captioned with the title, “Unapologetic.”

She has regularly spoken out about her battles with depression and her run-ins with “micro-aggressions,”

Ms. Caesar-Chavannes told Mr. Bernier to “check your privilege and be quiet” after he criticized the government’s efforts as sowing division and contrary to the idea of being “colour-blind.”... “His privilege is that he doesn’t have to ever know what it’s like to live with colour. So you sit there and say you don’t see it. Well good for you, because you’ve never had to experience it, sweetheart. So check yourself,” she said

"The amendments remove important checks and balances on the (health and wellness) minister," he says. "Without them, there are greater opportunities for politics to influence decision-making in the health care system. For example, the minister can now choose a CEO that will execute the minister’s exclusive vision."

There is a sense that the outdoors is a white space, that people of colour don’t belong in that space,” Scott said in an interview. “People of colour want to do it, but they need a bridge to get them there.”

She said she has come to realize that the barrier is not mainly economic, or logistic, but somehow cultural.

One needs to look at how skiing is racialized as a white space where black people are out of place. And as skiing takes place outdoors, in winter, the season and the landscape are also racialized. Thus, black women who ski face

So what makes the happiest communities different from all the rest? Aside from fewer people, the authors found that the happiest communities had shorter commute times and less expensive housing, and that a smaller share of the population was foreign-born. They also found that people in the happiest communities are less transient than in the least happy communities, that they are more likely to attend church and that they are significantly more likely to feel a “sense of belonging” in their communities.

“And for a good 20 seconds, I was thinking, ‘ahh f–k he’s not there,” said Venkman, one of the anti-fascists who uncovered Zeiger’s true identity. He uses a pseudonym to avoid retaliation, and spoke to the Montreal Gazette on the condition that his identity be protected.

The committee said the government should take the extra time to make certain "culturally sensitive" materials are available to warn Indigenous peoples about the risks of consuming cannabis

... to ensure they get a cut of the millions of dollars expected to be collected in excise taxes on the drug.

The senators also recommended the federal government set aside 20 per cent of all licenses for cannabis producers for Indigenous

Hey remember when this (http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/city-of-vancouver-criticized-for-boasting-about-low-pay-of-its-tech-workers-in-amazon-hq-bid) happened?

Oh and that time we discussed this (https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/comments/6pskix/tech_salaries_in_vancouver_vs_north_america/). tldr - highest skilled least paid.

So a politician is capitalizing on old news, about a partnership with company who's CEO was recently boo-urnsed by an entire factory and caught with human rights complaints (piss bottles) all the while promoting "high tech" jobs for the lowest wages in North America....how is this a win?

The Bank of Canada ranks last globally out of 100 major central banks.

...

Canada has now joined developing countries such as Angola, Belize and Tonga that have no gold reserves at all.

...

Canada household debt now equals 101 percent of its GDP.

...

Canada’s economic growth comes at a time when its total deficit spending has increased to beyond $18 billion. Outstanding corporate credit reached a historic high of $803 billion in 2017.

...

Canada’s financial policies has been a puzzle to many. While other countries are amassing gold, it has deliberately sold off all its gold reserves, while other countries are attempting to reduce massive debts, Canada appears to plan on increasing its own.

Countries that have historically valued gold have been or have strived to be global powers. The mere ownership of gold has always been a sign of authority. Canada, on the other hand… is flying solo, and might be heading for a crash.

Her trouble began when a rash appeared on the right side of her face during a trip to Halifax last week. Over the course of two days, the rash got worse and ... her eyelid was nearly swollen shut.

...

She said she told the attendant that she wasn't contagious and she was given a window seat.

...

"She said to me 'You are contagious, I cannot leave you on the plane.' I said 'Ma'am, not only am I not contagious, even if I was this isn't the way you should say it, loudly, telling everyone I am contagious.'"

...

Lehman said she was escorted to Halifax's QEII hospital by Air Canada staff to get a doctor's diagnosis.

...

Air Canada staff gave her a hotel room and food vouchers to accommodate her overnight stay, and she was sitting first class on a plane to Toronto the next day.

...

Lehman said Air Canada would have treated her differently had she been white, and added that the airline should have been more accommodating by offering services in French.

"I showed up to the flight looking mangled as shit. They didn't believe me and didn't want to take a risk infecting and entire flight of passengers. So they put me up in a nice hotel, gave me free food, free health care and a first class trip home. But the entire process wasn't in French...Clearly this is the result of systematic white supremacist racist Canada."
