This article originally appeared in the National Post. Promoting diversity sounds better than practicing discrimination, but the two have gone hand in hand in our universities and other public settings. As the Post’s Tristin Hopper observed: Canadian universities have engaged in race-centric hiring and admissions, and in some cases, race-segregated student spaces and events. The question is not whether racial, gender or other attributes can be taken into consideration in faculty appointments and student admissions. The question, rather, is how far one can go in permitting what would otherwise be unlawful discrimination in the name of affirmative action.

A special constable with the Société de transport de Montréal (STM) is facing assault charges over an intervention at the Berri-UQAM Metro station a little over a year ago, marking a first in the public transit agency's history. This is the first time a special constable with the STM faces charges after using force in the performance of their duties. The STM's special constables have been subject to BEI investigations since becoming peace officers in 2021. In this case, the victim was not seriously injured but the BEI became involved by virtue of the victim being Cree, said BEI spokesperson Jérémie Comtois. The public transit agency employs 180 special constables who have been equipped with cayenne pepper gel since September 2023.

Another of the major credit rating agencies is taking notice of the Nova Scotia government’s finances. Finance Minister John Lohr said he pays close attention to what the credit rating agencies have to say but he’s also confident in his government’s plan and opportunities for the future. “I am confident that this province will prosper economically,” he told reporters. The report from DBRS follows a credit rating downgrade for the province earlier this month by ratings agency S&P. Lohr said the risk of another downgrade would be an increase to the cost of borrowing.

A very different trip than Trudeau's India visitWhile former prime minister Justin Trudeau famously donned Indian clothing and toured major tourist sites on his 2018 trip, Carney has nothing like that planned. Unlike Trudeau, Carney has no private tour of the Taj Mahal on his itinerary for what is scheduled to be a five-day visit. The Mumbai stop will be followed by talks in Delhi with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Prime Minister Mark Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet in Delhi. "I think people trust Prime Minister Carney to be able to do much more."

A senior Canadian official says the Carney government believes that India has ceased its attempts at transnational repression in Canada. But Sikh activists in Canada are pointing to signs of a continuing threat to their safety, even as the federal government tries to move on. But the Carney government is sending the message that the government is for India and is being run by India. Who was Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the man India is accused of killing? Hardeep Singh Nijjar was a pro-Khalistan activist and the president of a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C.

Hate crime investigators are probing a recent incident where a stranger wearing a balaclava and sunglasses threw an open carton of milk at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) students supporting Israel. “The milk was splattered everywhere,” says Ethan, a third-year TMU student who wishes to go by his first name for safety reasons. “I’m just afraid that no student will be reprimanded, and that antisemitism will still continue at TMU,” he says. According to the TPS Hate Crimes Dashboard, “Jewish” was the most prevalent bias category in 2024 — the most recent year reflected in the statistics, which are updated annually. “TMU has been particularly bad at not stopping antisemitism at the university, or kind of brushing it over,” he says.

Court heard that McCormick’s travel agent booked a trip to Madrid for McCormick and a friend identified as “CS” with Air Transat on May 7, 2024. The itinerary was Vancouver to Montreal on Porter Airlines, and Montreal to Madrid on Air Transat. Unable to fly directly to Montreal, she booked a flight to Toronto and a separate flight from Toronto to Montreal, using two separate credit cards. She said one credit card company reimbursed her for the Toronto to Montreal flight. “Porter does not address this evidence in their submissions but maintains that the travel agent made the error.”Porter provided its own internal emails to the court.
