Ontario, the Province reduces child-care fees

TORONTO – The funding provided by the Province of Ontario to child-care facilities, is changing. On the one hand, the provincial government will cover the real costs of childcare (taking up the appeal of many structures that had said they had difficulty keeping their doors open), on the other, families will see fees reduced to send their children their children (under 6 years of age) in nurseries. Ontario Education Minister Todd Smith announced the news today on his Twitter profile.

CORRIERE CANADESE / Immigrati, l’Onu smonta la favola-Canada: “È un modello di schiavitù moderna”

TORONTO – Altro che “paladino dei diritti umani”: il Canada ha “leggi e politiche che consentono lo sfruttamento dei lavoratori vulnerabili”, in Canada “non tutti hanno gli stessi diritti”, le minoranze sono prive di tutele e, più in generale, l’intero programma canadese per i lavoratori temporanei stranieri costituisce un “terreno fertile per la schiavitù contemporanea”… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

Canada, shadows on Immigration: perhaps now politicians have noticed

TORONTO – Canadian federal politicians suddenly “woke up”, in the heart of summer, after realizing that the immigration system in Canada not only doesn’t work (the processing times are inexplicably infinite), but actually favors entry of characters with disturbing pasts and bad intentions at the expense of people with a clear past who, instead, have to overcome a thousand obstacles to obtain work permits, permanent residence or citizenship, despite having a job and proven skills.
