The premiers of Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador are so far the only leaders to publicly volunteer to take in asylum seekers to ease pressure on Quebec, despite a joint call from all premiers to distribute them more evenly across the country.
During a news conference Wednesday in Halifax at the close of a three-day summit of Canada's premiers, several provincial leaders said they are facing similar pressures from immigration, and would not commit to accepting more people.
Quebec Premier François Legault says his province can no longer support the high number of asylum seekers who have arrived in recent years. On Wednesday, he said "several" provinces are open to accepting more refugees claimants from Quebec, but he wouldn't name them.
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said he'd be prepared to welcome more asylum seekers, especially francophones, but only if the province gets more money from the federal government.
"We have the housing needs, the health-care and social needs in Manitoba, and so … we really do need the federal government, who has the fiscal resources to be able to move the needle here, to do so," he said.
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey also said he told Legault his province would be "happy to proportionally share" the number of newcomers seeking refugee status.

Important things to know before immigrating
Education and Healthcare : In most provinces, primary and secondary education is publicly funded for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. But international students and temporary residents must pay tuition fees. Similarly, while Canada’s healthcare system, known as Medicare, provides essential medical services to all Canadian citizens and permanent residents, it does not cover all medical expenses.
Credit Scores: Credit scores play a crucial role in obtaining loans, renting an apartment, applying for a job, debt collection, and insurance applications in Canada
Tumblr media
Evolution of Canadian values regarding immigration
Canada’s immigration policy has evolved over time, shaped by social, political, and economic factors. Initially, it was economically self-serving and often discriminatory. However, in 1967, the policy was liberalized with the introduction of the “points system” which marked a shift towards non-discriminatory immigration practices. In 1971, the government articulated its support for cultural diversity, and in 1976, legislation codified Canada’s commitment to refugees. Today, immigration is seen as a tool for meeting the country’s cultural, economic, and social objectives

Tumblr media
The Point System
Canada uses a points-based system known as the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) for immigration. The CRS is used by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to evaluate which Express Entry draw candidates are best suited for the program. It determines who should be invited to apply for Canadian permanent residency.
The CRS evaluates each candidate based on their human capital, which includes factors such as age, level of education, work experience, fluency in English or French, and familial ties to Canada
Here is the website - Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Criteria – Express Entry - Canada.ca

Provincial Nomination Program
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is a set of Canadian immigration programs operated by the Government of Canada in partnership with individual provinces. This program is for workers who have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to the economy of a specific province or territory.
The application process depends on which Provincial Nominee Program stream you’re applying to. You might need to apply using the non-Express Entry process, or through Express Entry.
Tumblr media
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) is the primary federal legislation that regulates immigration to Canada. It regulates immigration, protects refugees, sets out principles and concepts.
What are the objectives of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act?
To permit Canada to pursue the maximum social, cultural and economic benefits of immigration.
To enrich and strengthen the social and cultural fabric of Canadian culture.
Tumblr media
Categories of Immigration
Immigration can be broadly categorized into several types, depending on the purpose and the duration of the stay.
Family-Sponsored
Employment-Based.
Refugees This category is for individuals who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution.
Other: This category includes various other types of immigrants,
Economic Immigrants: economic immigrants include employees as well as employers. They mostly become permanent residents when they immigrate to Canada.
Tumblr media
Canada/Quebec Accord
Quebec can nominate the percentage of immigrants in Canada that corresponds to its population within Canada.
It also allows Quebec to require immigrants who settle in Quebec to send their children to French-language schools. They seek immigrants whose first language is French.
Tumblr media
What rights do immigrants and refugees get the moment they set foot on Canadian soil? They will have protection under the Canadian Charter. (fundamental freedoms, democratic rights, legal rights, mobility rights, equality rights, and minority language education rights).

The further we get into The Hound of the Baskervilles in Letters from Watson -- now being up to chapter 3 -- the more I envision James Mortimer being played by Timothy Hutton. This is not good news, since it's Timothy Hutton as Nate Ford in Leverage. Is Mortimer trying to con Sherlock Holmes?
Mortimer keeps talking up Baskerville Hall as deadly, when we know of only two Baskervilles who've died there. The Hugo who wrote the manuscript got the story passed down from his grandfather. Neither they nor he died of the hound (3 generations). If we assume an average of 35 years per generation from 1742 to the narrative in 1889, another 3-4 heirs did not die by hound.
Mortimer is overselling that hound. “The original hound was material enough to tug a man's throat out, and yet he was diabolical as well.” How do we know this? Did he have tags on his collar giving Satan's address?
Mortimer delayed long enough that the only hard evidence is what he recounts.
So now we have two more Baskerville heirs:
Rodger, the black sheep, supposedly died in South America, where he was likely attracted by the prospect of getting rich mining silver.
Henry, the heir, has been farming in Canada.
Henry likely took up a homestead in western Canada under the Dominion Lands Act, passed in 1872. The government of Canada solicited mass immigration to Manitoba and the Northwest Territories (then including Albert and Saskatchewan) by offering, for only a small registration fee, 160 acres to anyone who would improve it. Unlike the U.S. Homestead Act, a settler who succeeded with one plot could register for a second one.
Land for settlement had been ceded by the First Nations peoples under the earliest of the Numbered Treaties, which sounds tidy and respectful until we reflect that the treaties were the culmination of long years of wiping out the indigenous population with famine and disease. A weakened population ceded valuable territory in return for assistance and then the terms of the treaties were not honored in full.
This leaves Henry as the least directly blood-stained -- and probably most hard-working -- of the globe-trotting Baskervilles. Colonialism has this enormous ill effect: behavior that, in close-up, would seem entirely virtuous (hard work! initiative! willingness to take risks!) is built on the suffering of the indigenous peoples. (Yes, I think about this as an American, also how the California history I was taught as a tot did its best to erase our local native peoples. I can both enjoy the courage of my immigrant ancestors, most of whom were themselves oppressed minorities in Europe or the Middle East, and critique policies.)
In that vein, I found this meme on Threads the other night.
Tumblr media
Even that ordnance map that Holmes uses -- which is darn cool -- has its roots in power relations. The first big mapping project in the UK, dating from the mid-18th century -- was to develop accurate maps of Scotland in order to mop up the remains of the Jacobite rebellions and suppress further dissent.
That said, ordnance maps offer an amazing level of detail. The National Library of Scotland offers access to ordnance maps of the era that Holmes would have been using here. It's the kind of mapping that shows the location of every building and all sorts of tiny lanes.
Now I want to go play with maps, if only to distract myself from wondering how much the smoky atmosphere of Holmes' flat is damaging his Stradivarius.

"Immediately after the passage of the September [1918] orders-in-council, the police began using their new authority in a series of raids aimed at getting the Reds off the streets. In Winnipeg in early October, Michael Charitinoff, a Russian Jew and former editor of the Russian-language weekly Robotchny Narod (Working People), was arrested for possession of illegal literature. Security forces had targeted Charitinoff as Lenin’s “ambassador to Western Canada,” supposedly sent to Canada with a $7,000 bankroll to foment revolution. Police magistrate Hugh John Macdonald, the sixty-eight-year-old son of Sir John A., the former prime minister, and a former Manitoba premier himself, sentenced Charitinoff to three years in prison and a $1,000 fine, though the editor won release on a technicality. Charitinoff was one of more than 200 people convicted of political offences—possessing banned literature, belonging to an illegal group, or attending illegal meetings—across the country between October 1918 and June 1919. Fines ranged up to $4,000, though most were much lower, and prison terms ran anywhere from a month to five years.
In Ontario, police stormed the offices of several of the banned organizations, seizing correspondence, books, and pamphlets, and arresting dozens of people in Toronto and other, smaller communities. Eighteen Finnish-Canadian militants were arrested in Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie. In Brantford, the local police chief, testifying at the trial of Andra Tretjak, a young Russian immigrant found guilty of conspiracy, claimed that the town was “the headquarters of Bolshevik advocates in Canada,” the centre of a vast distribution network of seditious literature. The police enjoyed fear-mongering about alleged conspiracies; the previous summer they had uncovered a nest of Russian conspirators in Windsor, Ontario, who, they told the newspapers, were at the centre of “a continent-wide plot to overthrow lawful authority and establish a similar regime to that instituted in Russia by Trotzky and Lenine.”
In Toronto, police descended on the offices of political and ethnic organizations across the city, arresting dozens of people, all of whom were alleged to be “active Socialists and Bolsheviks.” They carted away stacks of mail, flyers, pamphlets, books, and magazines. Among the twenty-two arrestees at the headquarters of the Social Democratic Party on Queen Street West were Isaac Bainbridge, secretary of the SDP, and Alfred Manse, the circulation manager of both the Industrial Banner and the Canadian Forward, the party newspaper. Bainbridge, who was a thirty-eight-year-old stonemason and the editor of the Forward, was all too familiar with this kind of harassment. During the previous year and a half, he had been arrested three times on charges of sedition and spent a total of four months in jail for promoting ideas that were considered anti-conscription.
Detainees appeared before magistrates, several of whom took very seriously their self-appointed role as the last bastions against Bolshevism. In Stratford, Ontario, where police arrested twenty-two militants, the case of Arthur Skidmore, a machinist and a member of the local trades council, attracted the most notoriety. He was sentenced to thirty days in jail and a fine of $500 for having in his possession a copy of the Forward. Following appeals to the government from his fellow union members, he was released after twelve days. Magistrate Makins, who had sent Skidmore to jail, chided the government for overruling his decision. “Skidmore’s release is having the effect of making these men very bold and defiant,” Makins told the Toronto Daily Star. “I feel that a stand will have to be taken in the near future against just such men.” And in Toronto, Magistrate Kingsford handed out a three-year prison term in the Kingston Penitentiary to Charles Watson for distributing a variety of books and leaflets that three months before had been perfectly legal. As a large deputation from the Carpenters’ Union massed in the street outside the court in protest, Kingsford declaimed from the bench:
Free speech has always been and is the birthright of every British subject; but free speech is not license [...] Sedition will not be tolerated [...] Persons of British birth or descent above all should not forget the orderly traditions of their race. It would be a disgrace if they associated themselves with the propaganda of foreign cut-throats.
Kingsford went on in his condescending manner:
Theoretical discussions about Socialism may do no harm even if, in the hands of uneducated men, they lead to erroneous ideas of political economy. But when they are publications which advocate in so many terms, robbery, plunder, and other crimes against public order and safety, they become a menace and must be dealt with accordingly.

Razak Iyal and Seidu Mohammed recently celebrated becoming Canadian citizens. Their stories have been intertwined since they crossed the Canada-United States border to seek asylum near Emerson, Manitoba, on Christmas eve of 2016. Their lives nearly ended on that frigid night at the side of a rural road.
The two men survived but both lost all their fingers to frostbite.
Others have not survived. On March 31 [2023], two families perished at the Quebec-US border, including an infant and a three-year-old.
Stories like Razak and Seidu’s have captured intense political and public attention in Canada.
Why aren’t people going to official ports of entry?
The answer is that the law, specifically the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) between the US and Canada, deters people from using official border entry points because they will be turned away and denied the opportunity to make a refugee claim. Canada has acknowledged these crossings by erecting pop-up border stations like one at Roxham Road, facilitating the movement of migrants. Quebec’s premier and main opposition leader have called for this makeshift port of entry to be shut down. And now, as part of US President Joe Biden’s recent visit to Canada, the two countries have decided to do just that, under a renegotiated STCA that came into effect starting midnight on Friday, March 24 [2023]. 
Now anyone crossing any point of the Canada-US land border to make a refugee claim will be turned away.
---
They will not be able to make a refugee claim and will be sent back to the US side of the border.
Until now, this agreement only applied at official land ports of entry which pushed people seeking asylum to cross at unofficial points and made the remote Roxham Road that dead-ends at the boundary line between Hemmingford, Quebec, and Champlain, New York, a legal and well-travelled option.
The newly expanded STCA now applies across the entire Canada-US land border, including areas between official ports of entry and certain bodies of water. Anyone making an asylum claim within 14 days of crossing without authorisation or valid immigration status will be brought back to a US port of entry and excluded from being able to make a claim in Canada. [...]
---
Advocates argued that the agreement not only infringes migrants’ rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but also violates Canada’s international legal obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention [...]. Rather than suspending the agreement as many refugees and their advocates have long called for, the Canadian government has instead expanded it even though its legality is in question. [...]
How many deaths and other casualties of the STCA will it take before Canada reconsiders its reliance on increasingly restrictive and short-sighted policies? For the answer is blowing in the frigid wind along the US-Canada border: the Safe Third Country Agreement offers no real safety [...].
---
Text by: Jamie Liew, Petra Molnar, and Julie Young. “The new US-Canada border deal is inhumane - and deadly.” Al Jazeera. 19 April 2023. [Bold emphasis and some paragraph breaks/contractions added by me.] Liew is a lawyer and associate professor at University of Ottawa. Molnar is associate director of the Refugee Law Lab. Young is Canada Research Chair in Critical Border Studies and assistant professor in Department of Geography and Environment at University of Lethbridge.
A summary, from elsewhere:
The deal, which the Canadian government said would come into effect early on Saturday [25 March 2023], effectively extends the so-called Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) to the entire US-Canada border. “The United States and Canada will work together to discourage unlawful border crossings and fully implement the updated Safe Third Country Agreement,” US President Joe Biden said during an address to the Canadian parliament in Ottawa on Friday afternoon. But human rights groups said the move will not deter refugees and asylum seekers [...] but instead will push them to take riskier routes. [...] “This is very dangerous,” said Frantz Andre, spokesperson and coordinator of Comite d’action des personnes sans statut, a Montreal-based group that provides support for asylum seekers and others without immigration status. [...] Why is this happening now? Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been under political pressure domestically to respond to an increase in crossings, particularly from conservative politicians in Quebec and at the federal level.

Skills Immigration: This stream, primarily using a points-based invitation system, is for skilled and semi-skilled workers in high-demand occupations in BC. Candidates may not need prior work experience for some categories; however, Entry-Level and Semi-Skilled category applicants require B.C. work experience. Candidates may have work experience from abroad; and recent international graduates of a Canadian post-secondary institution may not need any work experience, depending on the job being offered.
BC PNP Tech: Those in specific tech occupations may qualify for invitation at a lower points threshold and receive priority assignment for processing..
Express Entry: International Student and Skilled Worker candidates can select either the Express Entry or Standard version of the BC PNP streams. Express Entry streams offer shorter timelines for federal permanent residence application processing.
Priority Occupations: Since 2022, the BC PNP has also provided occupation specific invitations to apply at lower point thresholds based on specific occupations in education, healthcare and veterinary care.
Health Authority and International Post-Graduate Streams - Qualifying candidates, such as those with a job offer from a public health authority or those who've graduated from selected programs at BC post-secondary institutions, can apply directly to the program without registering, obtaining a score and being invited to apply.
Entrepreneur Immigration: This stream, using a points-based invitation system, is for experienced entrepreneurs who wish to actively manage a business in BC. Applicants must create a minimum number of jobs, have the required personal net worth, and make a minimum level of eligible investment.

You have heard of the wandering Jew, but have you heard of the wandering Jewish cookie?
As Jews move from country to country, they pick up recipes, spices, and dishes along the way. Sometimes, even after a Jewish community is no more, their food remains, an echo of a world that once was. Such is the case of the “Jewish cookie” from Iceland.
Recently, I learned of a cookbook, The Culinary Saga of New Iceland, Recipes From the Shores of Lake Winnipeg compiled by Kristin Olafson Jenkyns, a writer with forbearers from Iceland. Her book documents the history and culinary traditions of immigrants from Iceland who settled in North America at the end of the 19th century. Many of them moved to Manitoba, Canada on Lake Winnipeg, where they formed a community that came to be known as “New Iceland.” In the section of the book entitled “Cakes and Cookies,” following classic Icelandic foods like skyr, smoked fish, and brown bread, are recipes for cookies traditionally eaten on Christmas. Their name in Icelandic is gyðingakökur, which translates to “Jewish cookie.”
How did “Jewish” cookies end up in a cookbook filled with the food of Icelandic immigrants to the New World? You can be sure that there weren’t many, if any, Jews among those settlers 150 years ago. Yet there are three recipes for Jewish cookies nestled between other traditional sweets like Vinarterta and ginger cookies.
Olafson Jenkyns is not sure how they came to be part of the culinary canon of the New Icelanders. Her guess is that the Jewish cookies came to Iceland by way of Denmark. For hundreds of years, Iceland was closely tied to Denmark; traders and merchants, some of them Jewish, moved back and forth between the two countries. Perhaps the cookies came via that trade route.
And how did those “Jewish” cookies land in Denmark in the first place? According to Gil Marks, author of Encyclopedia of Jewish Food, Jewish butter cookies originated in Holland. Many of the Jews who were expelled from Spain and Portugal in the 15th and 16th centuries found a safe haven in Holland. There they merged, “…their Moorish-influenced Iberian fare with the local Scandinavian cuisine. Instead of olive oil, they used the butter found in great quantity in Dutch cookery to create small rich morsels, still called Joodse boterkoeke (Jewish butter cookie) in Holland.” Until today, Dutch Jews serve those cookies on Hanukkah and Shavuot and at other dairy meals.
From Holland, the cookies spread to Denmark where they became a traditional pre-Christmas treat.
As is the case with all immigrants, when the Icelanders left their homeland in 1875 for the New World and created the community of New Iceland in Canada, they brought their culinary traditions with them. Gyðingakökur were part of that tradition. “The cookies must have been popular for them to have made it from Denmark to Iceland to New Iceland,” said Olafson Jenkyns.
In scouring through old cookbooks from the New Iceland community, Olafson Jenkyns found these three recipes for Jewish cookies – slightly different one from the next but all most definitely known as “Jewish.” One recipe was from a cookbook, circa 1915, from Reykjavik, Iceland.  The other two came from community cookbooks from New Iceland from the middle of the 20th century. In Gil Marks’ book, the Jodekager or Jewish cookie recipe was attributed to Denmark. His recipe is very similar to the Icelandic ones — all have lots of butter, all are rolled out into a thin dough, and then cut into rounds. And all are topped with a wash and a sweetener that combines sugar and nuts.
Are the cookies Icelandic? Canadian? Dutch? Or Danish? No matter where you find them, the name is the same, hearkening back to a Jewish presence and the Jewish bakers who created them.
Try these cookies yourself using the recipe from Jenkyns’ book.

Unionized workers and other labour supporters marched through downtown Winnipeg on Monday morning to call for more sick days, equal rights for gig workers, access to health care regardless of immigration status and more.
Hundreds marched from Union Centre on Broadway to the Manitoba Legislature where union leaders made those demands of the provincial government at a rally for May Day, or International Workers' Day.
The day is used to celebrate gains made for workers around the world and to underscore areas of work that still need improvement, said Winnipeg Labour Council president Melissa Dvorak.
Dvorak thinks inflationary pressures and the current cost of living challenges are influencing more workers to consider joining unions. [...]

New York-Style Bagels
Tumblr media
The New York-style bagel is truly iconic. When I lived in NYC I couldn’t get through a week without a few of these! When I moved out of the city, bagels were among the things I missed the most. Luckily, they are super simple to make at home.
Bagels were brought to NYC by Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants from Poland in the 1800s. Overtime, they became a widespread local staple, and they’re still a popular mainstay to this day. New York-style bagels are distinctive because they are boiled before baking. This is how the famous chewy texture is achieved.
I’ve included a recipe for “everything seasoning,” but these bagels are also great plain. As far as fillings, these bagels are perfect with just cream cheese and chives or with the addition of smoked salmon, capers, pickled onions, and dill. 
Tumblr media
Ingredients:
Bagel dough:
 297 grams/320ml water 90F/32C
10 grams dry yeast 
23 grams white granulated sugar 
500 grams bread flour / Manitoba
6 grams/1 1/2 tsp salt 
1tbsp baking soda/malt syrup (optional)
Egg wash:
1 egg
1tsp cream/milk
Everything seasoning:
Makes 3/4 of a cup - so there’s some leftover!
2 Tbsp + 2 tsp white toasted sesame seeds
2tbsp black toasted sesame seeds
4 tsp Maldon sea salt flakes
2 tsp poppy seeds
2 tbsp dried minced onion
2 tbsp dried minced garlic 
Method
Whisk in the yeast and sugar to the warm water, and let it rest for about 10 minutes or until frothy. 
In a large bowl, whisk bread flour and salt together. Add in the yeast mixture and stir until the dough is shaggy. Once everything is well-combined, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and pliable. You can also do this in a mixer with the dough hook. 
Put the dough into a lightly-oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and place in a warm place away from drafts (I use the oven with the light turned on), Let it ferment for about an hour or until doubled in size. 
Then, punch down the dough to deflate it and turn it out onto your bench. 
Before you move on to the next step, put on a pot of water to boil and pre-heat your oven to 218C/425F. You can add baking soda or malt syrup to your water, but this is optional. 
With a bench scraper, split the dough into eight pieces that are roughly the same size. I cut it in half, then quarters, then eighths. Pinch each piece to create a seam and then place it on an un-floured work surface (seam side down) and move your hand in a circular motion to tighten it into a ball. 
 Place the dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper or a silicone mat. Cover with a damp towel and let them rest for 10 minutes. 
When your water is boiling, pick up a ball with a floured hand and poke a finger straight through the middle. With two fingers in the hole, slowly turn the bagel to widen it. Then carefully drop the bagel into the water and boil for 1 minute on each side. Drain well and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. 
When all the bagels have been boiled, whisk the egg and the cream together and brush the bagels with the egg wash, covering the surface well. 
Sprinkle a generous amount of everything seasoning on top of the bagels. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bagels are golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy with your favourite toppings!
Did you like the recipe? Let me know on Instagram!

Why This Pilot Matters for Manitoba's Rural Communities
The Role of Wave Visas and Immigration Consultants
How Manitoba's Immigration Programs Support Economic Growth

Conclusion: A Welcoming Future for Immigrants in Rural Manitoba
Tumblr media
1. Introduction: Addressing Labour Shortages in Rural Manitoba
On November 15, 2024, the Manitoba government announced a three-year pilot project aimed at tackling labour shortages in the province’s rural west-central region. The new initiative, called the West Central Immigration Initiative, is designed to meet the growing demand for skilled workers across seven municipalities and one First Nation community. This new program is part of Manitoba's broader strategy to ensure continued economic growth and community development by attracting immigrants to regions facing labour shortages.
In response to these needs, the Wave Immigration Consultants are ready to guide skilled workers through the process of settling in Manitoba and contributing to its expanding workforce
2. The West Central Immigration Initiative Pilot: Key Details
The West Central Immigration Initiative pilot will see Manitoba collaborate with seven rural municipalities and Gambler First Nation. These regions have been identified as areas facing significant labour market challenges, with approximately 240-300 workers needed over the next three years. This need stems from a combination of new jobs, replacements for retiring workers, and general population growth. The municipalities involved in the pilot are:
Municipality of Russell-Binscarth
Rural Municipality of Yellowhead
Municipality of Roblin
Rural Municipality of Ellice-Archie
Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West
Rossburn Municipality

Manitoba's Minister of Labour and Immigration, Malaya Marcelino, emphasized that the initiative would ensure that the province remains a welcoming destination for immigrants while addressing local labour needs.
3. How Immigration Pilots Work: A Closer Look
Immigration pilots like the West Central Immigration Initiative are temporary programs designed to address specific regional or sectoral labour shortages. These programs often come about through collaboration between federal, provincial, and local governments.
Eligibility for these pilots typically depends on factors such as:
Job offers from employers in the designated region
Relevant work experience and educational qualifications
Proficiency in one of Canada’s official languages
While the West Central Immigration Initiative is a short-term pilot running for three years, successful pilots can lead to the development of permanent immigration programs. For example, the Atlantic Immigration Program succeeded the Atlantic Immigration Pilot in 2022 due to its success in addressing regional labour gaps
4. Why This Pilot Matters for Manitoba's Rural Communities
The West Central Immigration Initiative is crucial for ensuring the economic vitality of Manitoba’s rural regions. According to a survey of 85 employers, there is a significant demand for skilled workers to fill roles created by job growth, retirements, and other transitions in the workforce. This pilot will support economic development by attracting skilled immigrants to communities that are struggling to find enough workers locally.
Moreover, the initiative highlights Manitoba’s commitment to fostering economic and community growth, as emphasized by Minister Malaya Marcelino. With the help of immigration, these regions will be able to thrive and continue their development despite labour challenges.

“Bolshevism and Atheism Must Be Combatted in Western Canada,” Kingston Whig-Standard. November 11, 1932. Page 2. ---- Rev. R. G. Katsunoff of the Church of All Nations, Montreal, said that the rapid spread of Bolshevism and Atheism among the non-Anglo-Saxon peoples of Western Canada was alarming and added that the only solution of the menace was the Gospel of Jesus Christ and fellowship. Mr. Katsunoff lectured on “The New Canadian” in Sydenham Street United Church last evening. 
The speaker said that teachers from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are brought to Winnipeg to take a short course for the teaching of Bolshevism and Atheism among the children. "What will Canada be within thirty years if this continues?" asked the speaker. Rev. Katsunoff said that the foreigners in the West are becoming conscious of the power of their franchise and he expressed the fear that if atheism and Bolshevism were allowed to predominate in the West, it would terminate in a sorry state of affairs. Different methods of combating the menace had been suggested such as force, while others contend that the situation would right itself, but the speaker emphasised that unless the non-Anglo-Saxons were assimilated and racial prejudice overcome there would never be a solution. 
Rev Mr. Katsunoff said that there were over 2,000,00 people in Canada of non-Anglo-Saxon birth, while in the western provinces alone one half of the total population was made up of people of foreign birth. He also stated that in Canada there were seventy different national groups and 100 different dialects. The speaker emphasised the fact that the young foreign people were not going to the churches and no great effort was being made to bring them in closer contact with the spiritual things of life.
Racial prejudices among the Europeans seem to be intensified in the country, said the speaker, and he cited several instance where fights had taken place between different nationalities. Mr. Katsunoff said that these people must be brought into unity, to work for the good of their adopted country, and added that the gospel and fellowship were the only ways In which this would be accomplished. The Europeans had a racial superiority complex and it is the duty of the Church and Canadians to annihilate this feeling, he said. 
The speaker spoke of the splendid work that was bring carried on by the missionaries among the non-Anglo-Saxons and said that in many places throughout Canada, congregations had been formed. 
In closing, Mr. Katsunoff said that the Europeans who immigrate to Canada have the same ideals and yearnings as the Canadian people and advocated that the service clubs, churches and people as a whole take a greater Interest in these new Canadians. 
[AL: European immigrants have a race superiority problem, quails the Eastern European Anglican priest worried about the loss of Anglo-Saxon dominance and assimilating of immigrants to ‘Christian’ values. Also, love how old the conspiracy that public lay schools teach Atheism and Bolshevism! Honestly, a western Canada without Christian supremacy sounds better than the alternative...]
