The Conversation — Politically aggressive social media users are creating most of the anti-immigrant content

Most of us, whether we admit it or not, engage in a great deal of passive scrolling through social media daily. And while the platforms have proliferated for years, experts are only now beginning to demonstrate their full impact on our attention, mental health, spending habits and politics. Despite the benefits, social media is also creating new problems. A pressing concern is the dissemination of misinformation by political extremists, a trend amplified by the unprecedented reach of platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter).

City News — Quebec restaurants, immigration minister sound alarm on federal foreign worker cap

Restaurants across Quebec say they’re struggling to stay open as staff shortages worsen, a crisis they blame on federal limits to hiring low-wage temporary foreign workers. A 10 per cent cap on temporary foreign workers per company, issued by the federal government last year, has many restaurant owners warning they could soon be forced to reduce hours or close their doors. At Caribbean restaurant Kwizinn in Montreal’s Old Port, about 20 per cent of staff are or were temporary foreign workers. Chef Céline Diallo said those hires have brought much-needed stability, something she said is essential for any restaurant to grow.

CBC News — Immigration rules, demand for spaces means ‘stressful’ times for P.E.I. child-care centres

Changes made to immigration policies earlier this year have some early childhood education centres on Prince Edward Island doing business differently. Jennifer Nangreaves, executive director of the Early Childhood Development Association of P.E.I., spoke to a legislative standing committee Thursday about the effects that sweeping changes to national and provincial immigration policies have had on her industry. She said staff are managing the staffing demands well overall, but that there are some centres bearing the brunt of the policy changes, particularly those that rely heavily on international recruitment.

La Presse – Une main-d’œuvre « disponible, qualifiée et motivée »

Avec le resserrement de l’immigration temporaire au Canada, les demandeurs d’asile sont plus populaires que jamais auprès des employeurs aux prises avec des postes à pourvoir. Ils étaient 5000 à faire la file au Parc olympique jeudi : ils sont venus déposer leur CV et rencontrer des employeurs au salon annuel organisé par INICI (Immigrer, Intégrer, Innover).

CBC News —’Extraordinary’ surge in immigration cases in Federal Court challenges access to justice, top judge says

Lawyer Zeynab Ziaie Moayyed sees the toll that increasing delays at the Federal Court can take on her clients as they try to challenge immigration decisions that didn’t go their way. Some clients expect to wait more than a year. That’s enough time, the Toronto-based lawyer says, to lose a full academic year or their immigration status, which could leave them in « limbo. »
