Rosenberg felt that some of these messages crossed the line into bigotry. One note accused Israel of harvesting the organs of murdered Palestinians. Another, from a medical-school resident, warned of a sinister, unnamed group of people 'pulling the strings, who have orchestrated every war to ever happen, the ones who profit off of death and sickness.'
Councillor Michael Thompson stated, 'By choosing to fly certain flags, it looks like the city is taking a position in conflicts that we don't know anything about.' He emphasized that council should prioritize local issues like homelessness and transportation instead of engaging in geopolitical matters.
After reaching 3,149,131 on Oct. 1, 2024, the number of non-permanent residents living in Canada steadily decreased to 2,676,441 on Jan. 1, 2026. Non-permanent residents include people holding work or study permits as well as asylum claimants and any family members living with them.
I lost a lot of money while I was in Alberta. I had quite a lot of debt. Sure, you might save $4 or $5 on your bills, but ultimately, that's not what saved me money at all. Moving to Montreal in the summer of 2024 helped replenish the family's budget, even though la belle province is notorious for its higher taxes.
A flag is certain the wind admires it -the breeze flaunting it so its crowns, leaves, crosses, bands of colour, or stars float in air, ready to be honoured, deferred to. In turn the flag at times pats the wind streaming past, confirming they stand together, believing the wind thinks of itself as Tunisian wind orAmerican wind. To people who live under the flag open in its glory, or relaxed against
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation
Under the rules, dual nationals risk being denied boarding if they do not present a British passport, current or expired, or a certificate of entitlement, costing 589, attached to the passport of their second nationality, to prove their right to enter the UK.
Citizens of Nowhere is a documentary short about stateless people in the United States individuals who, through circumstance or legal technicality, belong to no nation. Without passports, citizenship or legal recognition, they live in a state of uncertainty. From finding work and accessing education, to simply existing within a system that does not officially recognise them, stateless people face endless bureaucratic barriers.
Spy thrillers have often included characters with multiple passports to evoke drama and suspense. The reality of having more than one passport is far tamer, but can help travelers navigate difficult visa situations and provide more flexibility for trips abroad. Even having a duplicate of a passport can be helpful if your primary passport is damaged, lost, or stolen. Here's everything travelers need to know about holding multiple passports, including how many you can have, how to obtain a second passport,
The passport program's base fee structure alone can no longer support the cost of program operations. Since the last time inflation was accounted for in program fees, the CPI increased by 14.5 per cent, leading to expenditures outpacing revenues by approximately $121 million in fiscal year 2024-25. The program is in the midst of a comprehensive fee structure review, which will result in options for fee adjustments to account for the true cost of operations.
The snow day email arrives before dawn, glowing softly on my phone. Even after all these years, that early morning message still feels like a small miracle a quiet signal that the city has agreed to pause. As a child, it felt like winning a secret lottery. As an adult and a school principal, the feeling hasn't left me.
Ahead of the end of the 'tolerance period' of the Electronic Travel Authorisation system (ETA) from February 25th, British dual nationals have been targeted with official messaging suggesting that they will only be able to enter the UK if they have a valid British passport or a pricey certificate of entitlement. Those without the correct paperwork could even be denied boarding or turned away at the border, British authorities have suggested.
A s a Quebecer living just on the other side of the river from the Ottawa Bubble, I know how little attention is generally paid to Quebec's provincial politics. Our language, history, and culture make Quebec notoriously hard to grasp for decision makers in the nation's capital. This is not a critique, simply a fact. And while concern about the separatist movement in Alberta has led to the federal government making some questionable policy choices (yes, memorandum of understanding, I'm looking at you),
H ave you heard Solomon Ray's new album Faithful Soul? It's number one on the gospel charts-and entirely AI generated, just like the musical artist behind it. The idea that a hit Spotify artist might not be human is a satire of the attention economy itself: an ecosystem once based on authenticity and connection now topped by a synthetic voice engineered for maximum uplift. What does "soul" even mean when it's made by software trained on real music?
