Oh, THREE years, just like the people who illegally crossed over at Roxham Road, right?:
Canada has designed a system with the potential to welcome millions of Ukrainians fleeing war to Canada, Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said Thursday, as the government opened applications.
The program, which marks a major departure from Canada’s typical refugee policy, allows an unlimited number of approved Ukrainians to find refuge from Russian aggression in Canada for three years while they decide their next steps.
So the "fewer than five" number was actually two:
Being pro-abortion is a mentally illness.
Prove me wrong:
A controversial faith-based women’s centre in Halifax is expanding their operations to open a thrift store in the city’s north end, which is raising concerns among critics.
The Open Door Centre recently purchased the Bay B Boutique, a baby and children’s consignment store on Novalea Drive, with plans to open on Monday.
According to the centre’s website, 100 per cent of the proceeds from the thrift store will “fund the essential programs and services Open Door Centre offers.”
The centre’s website describes the organization as a “healthy life choices centre” that offers free counselling and resources for exploited and trafficked youth, pregnant people, and those who have been “affected by pornography.”
The website does not make the centre’s stance on abortion clear, but Open Door is included on a list of 300 anti-choice groups across the country compiled by the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada.
Do note that the "impartial" media called this group "anti-choice".
The Pope isn't going to give you any cash. Just so you know:
A New Brunswick Indigenous woman will be part of a historic meeting set to take place between a 30-person Indigenous delegation and Pope Francis in Vatican City.
Rosalie LaBillois, of Eel River Bar First Nation, will travel with Elders, knowledge keepers, residential school survivors and youth to meet the Pope at the end of the month. ...
The delegation will seek a formal apology from the Roman Catholic Church for its role in running residential schools.
In the history of the institution, a formal apology has never been issued.
“We suffered needlessly and tragically,” he told Pope Benedict. “We can forgive with generosity of spirit and with the hand of friendship, or we can seek sustenance from bitterness and vengeance. We come here today Most Holy Father, with the spirit and lessons of our ancestors and elders in mind. Reconciliation and friendship is what we seek. The time to re-build a better and brighter future together is upon us.”
Chief Fontaine spoke of forgiveness and reconciliation, of establishing a renewed friendship. It was a moment of genuine and historic reconciliation. No one who participated thought otherwise. Thus from 2009 to 2015, there was little talk about Catholic refusals or recalcitrance to apologize. That changed with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report in 2015. For all of its meritorious aspects, it obscured the truth about reconciliation for many.
The entire 1991-2009 Catholic repentance and reconciliation process appeared to be set aside as inadequate; instead the TRC called for Pope Francis to appear in Canada “within a year” to apologize.
In 2017, Prime Minister Trudeau asked the Holy Father to do so. At any given time, dozens of countries have issued invitations for papal visits. Few of them get one, especially given the preference of Pope Francis to visit countries where no pope has visited before.
Thus in 2018 Pope Francis replied that he would not come to Canada “personally.” But on a visit to Bolivia in 2015, before the TRC issued its final report, Pope Francis had already made an apology for Catholic maltreatment of Indigenous peoples in the Americas.
The bribed press is useless.
Dragging Indonesia into the twenty-first century:
Nuril became a cause celebre when the Supreme Court jailed her for six months and fined her $36,000 for circulating recordings of lewd telephone calls received from her boss, a school principal.
Moved by the injustice of the case, President Joko Widodo granted Nuril amnesty, gaining plaudits from women's rights groups, though they believed the outcome would do little to tackle the increasing blight of sexual harassment in Indonesia.
In January, Widodo told his government to expedite new legislation, which seeks to make it easier to build cases and secure convictions, and lawmakers resumed deliberations on a draft bill this week.
They have been talking about it since 2016, with its progress stalled by several political parties, the most vocal of which had a conservative, Islamic pedigree.
