'Art is meant to invoke conversations,' says letter writer regarding closure of Aurora Cultural Centre exhibit due to antisemitism concernsNewmarketToday welcomes your letters to the editor at [email protected]. Re: Letter to the editor, Closing Aurora exhibition no different than banning books, Oct. 1, 2024; and 'Disgusting display': Aurora Cultural Centre exhibit closes amid antisemitism concerns, Sept. 26, 2024. I read Vaughan Dues letter to the editor and I applaud the words. With artwork, books and media, when this is silenced, then the voices of those oppressed surely will never be heard.

Prices for heating oil and gasoline in Norman Wells expected to pass $5/L next weekThe Mayor of Norman Wells, N.W.T. Shawn MacDonald, who manages the only gas station in Norman Wells, told CBC on Saturday that he will likely have to raise retail gas prices accordingly very soon. “We are in a state of chaos, high costs and impossible costs,” Pope said. He said those conditions, together with recent uncertainty around the future of Imperial Oil’s Norman Wells oil field, have created a “perfect storm” that is negatively impacting every aspect of Norman Wells’ economy. The Norman Wells mayor said he is also hoping the federal government will commit to providing similar support in the future if low water levels on the Mackenzie River continue to prevent Norman Wells from resupplying by barge.

The increase of about $25,000 annually does not sit well with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “In any industry I've ever worked in, you don't get a pay raise unless you're doing your job correctly and you're doing your job right," Devin Drover, the federation's Atlantic director, told CBC Radio Thursday, according to a CBC news report. "A pay [raise] of this size would make them the highest paid in Atlantic Canada, when the average income is only about $48,000 here in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is irresponsible at a time when the province is running deficits after deficits, and taxes are some of the highest in the country." A previous report noted that the City of Winnipeg would have to spend more than $3 million more per year if it offered city workers a wage rate that some advocates consider a living wage.

A Winnipeg man who worked as an immigration consultant has pleaded guilty to misrepresentation under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, after he created fraudulent documents as part of his consultancy, the Canada Border Service Agency says. Balkaran Singh, 45, was working as a regulated Canadian immigration consultant when he sparked the suspicion of the Canada Border Service Agency in January 2021, the federal agency said in a Friday news release. The officers denied the work permits due to multiple concerns and indicators, according to the release, and referred the case to the border service agency's criminal investigations section. They took a computer, multiple cellphones and physical documents as evidence, the border services agency said. He was sentenced to two years less a day of house arrest, which includes a prohibition on providing immigration advice, a curfew and an order to complete 200 hours of community service.

Scurvy is a disease that likely conjures up images of sickly sailors from hundreds of years ago, but doctors in Canada are being warned to look out for the condition now, as a result of growing food insecurity. Scurvy results from having a severe deficiency of vitamin C. Natural sources of vitamin C — also known as ascorbic acid — include citrus fruits, such as oranges and lemons, and vegetables such as broccoli and spinach. The CMAJ report draws links between scurvy and food insecurity — when low income forces someone to skip meals or reduce the nutritional value of the food they eat. Not an 'archaic diagnosis'The authors of the CMAJ report say scurvy should not be considered only an archaic diagnosis of 18th-century seafarers. There is a real continuum of serious health conditions that food insecurity really exacerbates, said Boozary in an interview.
