Trump cancels Birthright Citizenship?
On his first day in office Monday, Trump signed an executive order vowing to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., despite broad legal consensus that the Constitution guarantees U.S. citizenship to almost everyone born on American soil. However, the specific details remain unclear. As of now, after reviewing media reports, [mainstream media] have not reported the specifics, only mentioning that children of undocumented immigrants born in the U.S. would not have citizenship. Whether it involves children of residents who entered legally but hold temporary status has not been detailed. Currently, what has been clearly reported regarding "legal entrants with temporary status" includes: [Politico] Trump's order directs federal agencies to refuse to recognize [citizenship for] those who are undocumented or legal

"Heartbreaking": temperatures drop to -30 C and dozens still sleeping outside
Thunder Bay - Temperatures dropped to -33 C Monday morning, and people are still often living in homeless encampments or in their cars. "It's heartbreaking. It's all heartbreaking," said Holly Gauvin, executive director of Elevate NWO. Gauvin said the cold temperatures have driven many people living in encampments indoors for safety, but she knows at least 30 people are still living outside despite the dangerous conditions. "That's a significant number," Gauvin said. Gauvin said sometimes people are able to find short-term shelter on their own. "They'll be in stairwells, hallways, and buildings they can access."

This year the city's goal is an "ambitious" 350 new homes.
Thunder Bay - 256 new residential units started construction last year, and if you ask the city's Housing Accelerator Fund project manager, Summer Stevenson, that is good news. "We have had great success," Stevenson said. "We have exceeded our target (housing starts) by 100%." Stevenson said the city started 256 new homes last year, well above the provincial target of 187 new housing starts. She expects the provincial target this year to be around 200, but she said the city's internal target is much higher. Stevenson hopes to have 35 by 2025.

Canada has 50,000 international students not attending classes as required, with India accounting for half! Immigration enforcement tightens!
Recently, according to government data from spring 2024, compliance issues among international students in Canada have drawn widespread attention. The data shows that nearly 50,000 international students failed to show up for classes at their colleges and universities, sparking heated debate about the effectiveness of Canada's international student compliance system. According to statistics from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), this absence rate accounts for 6.9% of all international students. Canada has had an international student compliance system in place since 2014, requiring designated learning institutions to report twice a year on whether international students are enrolled and attending classes as required. The system is designed to prevent non-compliant students from abusing study permits and to promptly identify any suspicious activity.

Collins said: "Ottawa's spending is 3.9%, and ours is 3.7%. We don't know about Ottawa's situation... we don't know how much of their reserves they used to achieve that. Whether that includes all the costs of their agencies, boards, and commissions, we don't have that level of detail." Co
