Citizenship and Citoyennete et ••• Immigration Canada Immigration Canada TOWN OF 3RACEBRIDGE DATE REC'D JUN O7 2:i3 tttJ 16 2016 REC'D av____ _ His Worship Graydon Smith 1000 Taylor Court Bracebridge ON P 1L 1R6 Dear Mr. Mayor: This is in reply to your correspondence of April 14, 2016, addressed to the Honourable John McCall um, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, concerning the Central Muskoka Syrian Relief Committee's sponsorship undertakings under the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) Program. I apologize for the delay in responding. Your support and assistance in the Syrian resettlement project are to be commended, and we understand your desire to have these families arrive in Canada as soon as possible. The outpouring of support from Canadians has been and continues to be outstanding. To bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of February 2016, which amounted to a span of about 100 days, significant additional resources and special measures were temporarily put in place, including deploying hundreds of staff overseas and in Canada. We know refugees and sponsors would like to see the expedited processing continue beyond this unique, initial endeavour, but the accelerated pace of recent months could not be sustained indefinitely. Canada's overall response to the refugee crisis must be done in a sustainable and ongoing way. The government' s commitment to resettling Syrian refugees to Canada will continue in 2016 as both government-supported and privately sponsored Syrian refugees will continue to mTive in the months ahead at a more measured pace. However, for all Syrian applications submitted up to March 31 , 2016, every effort will be made to finalize the processing by the end of 2016 or early 2017. At the same time, the government must continue its commitments to other refugee populations. In this regard, we are also working diligently to process applications from all immigration streams (refugees, protected persons, humanitarian, family, economic) as quickly as we can. 2016 is expected to be the most ambitious resettlement year in Canadian history. The government's goal in 2016 more than triples the number of resettled refugees from the previous year, which demonstrates its humanitarian commitment. For information on our ambitious targets, please refer to Canada's 20 J 6 Immigration Levels Plan. Canada - 2 - Thank you for writing and expressing your concerns, and for your contribution to this incredibly important humanitarian initiative. Sincerely, F.

This project is a discourse analysis of gender perceptions of the 2018 Progressive Conservative Leadership Race and the 2018 provincial election as portrayed on Twitter. Using understandings of Liberal Feminism and Intersectionality, this project demonstrates the struggle of gender discrimination against women in political life and attempts to recognize the efforts of women attempting to shatter the glass ceiling.

  • Ontario Investing an Additional $13.7 Million in Home and Community Care in Our Central LHIN Province Increasing Access to Home Care for Those with High Needs
    PRESS RELEASE / COMMUNIQUÉ Michael Chan, MPP Dr. Helena Jaczek, MPP Reza Moridi, MPP Markham-Unionville Oak Ridges-Markham Richmond Hill Steven Del Duca, MPP Chris Ballard MPP Mario Sergio MPP Vaughan Newmarket-Aurora York West David Zimmer, MPP Monte Kwinter MPP Willowdale York-Centre Ontario Investing An Additional $13.7 million in Home and Community Care in our Central LHIN Province Increasing Access to Home Care for Those with High Needs July 20, 2016 NEWS Markham - The Ontario government is investing approximately $13.7 million in the Central LHIN/CCAC this year, to enhance support for home care clients with high needs and their caregivers. The Central LHIN serves York Region and surrounding areas of the GTA. Province-wide this investment will help clients and caregivers most in need, including $80 million for enhanced home care and $20 million for caregiver respite. Home care patients and those who care for them will benefit from approximately: 350,000 additional hours of nursing care 1.3 million additional hours of personal support 600,000 additional hours of respite services for caregivers 100,000 additional hours of rehabilitation. The Central LHIN will work with the Central CCAC to allocate this funding to increase nursing care, personal support services and respite services to patients and families in our region. This additional funding is part of Ontario’s 2015 Budget commitment to increase investments in home and community care by more than $750 million over three years. These initiatives support the commitments made in Patients First: A Roadmap to Strengthen Home and Community Care , the province’s plan to improve and expand home and community care.

Review of the 2018 Ontario Provincial Election Andrea M.L. Perrella Wilfrid Laurier University – Email address: [email protected] Simon J. Kiss Wilfrid Laurier University – Email address: [email protected] Barry J. Kay We are sad to note that Dr. Barry Kay passed away in December of 2019. He contributed to this review and had over the years provided much sought-after insight into election campaign dynamics. Abstract Ontario’s general election on June 7, 2018, brought the Progressive Conservative party to government for the first time in the 21st Century. The PCs’ victory over the incumbent Liberals, however, reached this point despite much turmoil. Months before the election the party faced a crisis when its leader, Patrick Brown, resigned amid a scandal. The PC party hastily organized a leadership election that put Doug Ford at the helm, who then led the party to victory. The following election review traces these steps and looks at some dynamics that contributed to both the PC leadership vote and the overall result of the election. The PC leadership election is analyzed, providing evidence that Ford’s rise may reflect some of the populist sentiment that has gripped other democracies. The analysis then turns to the general election, focusing on media coverage and issue salience, particularly as they relate to the party leaders. Survey data are examined to build some explanatory vote-choice models, which shows that voters in the general election appeared less moved by populism than a desire to punish the Liberals.
