Exploring Recent Changes in Canadian Immigration Policy: A Humanitarian Perspective

Dear members,

As an immigration consultant, I constantly monitor changes in Canadian immigration policies. Recently, the Canadian government has made significant adjustments to its immigration policies. These changes touch upon the issues of social justice and humanitarian concerns that we all care deeply about.

I propose that we delve into these policy changes and their implications in our discussion. Specific topics for discussion could include, but are not limited to:

  1. The specifics and changes of the new policies

  2. The impact of policy changes on different immigrant groups

  3. Analysis of immigration policies from a humanitarian perspective

Cycling

With the warmer temperatures’ arrival, it’s a sign to take my bicycle out to put it to good use.


The one issue? My bike needs a tune up.


Naturally, one would bring their bike to a bike repair shop.


Yet after some research, I discovered that my local community offers free simple tune ups. The best part is that you get to learn how to do it yourself. After the visiting the repair hub this month, I learned that the hub offers a bike rental program too at no cost – participants just need their library card.


And my fellow Ontario Humanist Society members, are you a bike enthusiast? Does your local community offer programs or workshops related to cycling? How would you describe the biking culture in your local community?

Thank you for sharing. 😊


That's awesome that you bike to most amenities during the summer. The City of Toronto has a plan to design its necessities that makes them accessible by bike and walking within 15 minutes - it's called the Fifteen Minute City.


I know that Ottawa has a different biking culture - not sure when Toronto can adopt this culture someday.

Gardening

The Victoria Day long weekend always reminds me of the start of gardening season. My paternal

grandmother used to observe if other neighbours had begun planting seeds during this weekend to

follow suit. One of her accomplishments was planting winter melons and unfortunately, one of them

was stolen as it was hanging from an easy place of access.

After that lesson, my grandmother re-strategized the structure and location of her garden bed.

Start small and let the obsession grow. I have huge perennial beds and historically have also had a huge vegetable garden. Last year my perennial beds grew and this year my vegetable garden shrunk.

My advice:

Grow a few things that you really love.

Check that your sun exposure works (most vegetables need full sun.)

Share plants with friends - you probably don't need 6 tomatoe plants so share a 6-piece flat with a friend.

Enjoy a walk through your garden every day. Notice what's growing and blooming. While you're there pull a couple of weeds.

Take pictures and share them with friends and family.

Don't compare your garden to others'.

But the most important thing is to really enjoy your plants. If it doesn't bring you joy, if it's too much work or if it's not thriving, it's not the plant for you.

National AccessAbility Week (NAAW)

The last week of May is National AccessAbliity Week (NAAW) and this year it runs from May 26th to June 1st .


Whether or not you are aware of this week or the events hosted by certain organizations to celebrate progress in achieving accessibility, it’s important to think about how accessible the local spaces that you use are such as various amenities or facilities, communication materials, etc.


Is anything interesting happening near you for NAAW 2024? Do you have a story about accessibility that you can share?

Yes, I'm part of the Accessibility Advisory Committee in my local community and we hosted an event where a group of panelists who work in the arts industry (visual arts, live theatre, and music) shared some of the challenges they faced as a person with a disability and what they want people to know to help them.

Chat GPT's Recipe for Dog Meat



How does AI interpret our cultural norms? Can AI learn? This is an interesting conversation about our beliefs around the consumption of meat, about AI and about our defence mechanisms.

What are your thoughts about "Recipe for dog meat"?
