The Canadian and Jamaican governments are investigating allegations that an Ontario farm sent a group of Jamaican migrant workers home after they held a one-day strike to protest what they described as substandard living conditions.

Pearnel Charles Jr., Jamaica's minister of labour, says he met four of the five workers in question after a local newspaper reported they'd been expelled from Canada as "payback" for their work stoppage, and for blowing the whistle about their treatment to the media. 

"They expressed to me that they were disappointed with being returned early, which I think is normal and understandable. And they had some questions as to exactly what the reasons were," Charles Jr. told As It Happens guest host Katie Simpson.

Garnet Mimms (Garrett Mimms, November 26, 1933) is a singer, influential in soul music and rhythm and blues. He first achieved success as the lead singer of Garnet Mimms & The Enchanters and is known for the 1963 hit “Cry Baby”, later recorded by Janis Joplin. According to Steve Huey at AllMusic, his “pleading, gospel-derived intensity made him one of the earliest true soul singers, his legacy remains criminally underappreciated.”

He first recorded as a member of the Norfolk Four, for Savoy Records. He returned to Philadelphia after serving in the military and, after a spell in a doo-wop group, the Deltones, formed another group, the Gainors, in 1958, with Sam Bell, Willie Combo, John Jefferson, and Howard Tate. The Gainors recorded several singles over the next few years for the Red Top, Mercury, and Talley Ho labels, but failed to have any chart success. He and Bell left the group in 1961 and joined with Charles Boyer and Zola Pearnell to form Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters.

He left the Enchanters for a solo career; with Sam Bell as lead vocalist, the group went on to have a minor hit with “I Wanna Thank You”. He continued to record for United Artists and had several minor R&B hits over the next two years, including “One Girl” and a cover of the Jarmels’ “A Little Bit of Soap.” Some of his recordings at that time, including “It Was Easier to Hurt Her”, “As Long As I Have You”, and “Looking For You”, later became popular on the British Northern soul scene. Berns and Ragovoy produced Mimms’ final Top 40 hit in 1966, “I’ll Take Good Care Of You”, which climbed to #15 in the R&B chart and number 30 in the Hot 100. He released three albums on United Artists, As Long As I Have You (1964), I’ll Take Good Care Of You, and Warm and Soulful (both 1966). #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

News-Letter Au[Spinearl/Pearnel AU]

NOT pink pearl! Actually the iconic Pearl,,, looking for a specific ship name for Iconic Pearl and Spinel,,, any suggestions? Maybe Spearl? Or like,,,, Peanel?

Pearl works for the school News Letter, being the author. Shes looking for a photographer, she goes through many, many, people but no one fits. Until a pink-haired feral clown shows up. They get to talking, and then, Spinel joins the crew. (Along with Lapis and Peridot, which do the editing).
