Nearly 200 runners participated in the third annual Reindeer Run Saturday, Nov. 17. Runners and walkers endured chilly temperatures during the 5K jaunt through the streets of Carmi that started and finished at First Bank, primary sponsor for the event.
Nearly 200 runners participated in the third annual Reindeer Run Saturday, Nov. 17. Runners and walkers endured chilly temperatures during the 5K jaunt through the streets of Carmi that started and finished at First Bank, primary sponsor for the event.
For the second straight year, Michael Brown was the overall winner in a time of 16:27. Brown, a junior at Carmi-White County High School, recently qualified for the IHSA state Cross Country meet and finished 22nd in the state for Class 2A.
The top female was Eva Ochs in a time of 23:37. The 14-year-old finished 13th overall.
The top walker in the Reindeer Run, which kicked off the third annual "It's A White County Christmas" celebration in Carmi, was Chris Drone, who finished in a time of 36:51.
The top female in the nine and under category was Mackenzie Willis while the top male nine and under was Cal York. The top female in the 10-13 category was Payton Dixon while Ty Barbre won the same division for males. Ochs won the female 14-19 division and Levi Sork, who finished second overall, was the top male 14-19.
In the adult divisions, Alex Aud was the top female runner in the 20-29 age division while Jonathan Goemaat was first in the male 20-29 division. Katie Simmons was the top female in the 30-39 age division and Jeremiah Downen of Grayville was the top male runner in the same category. Amy Pettijohn of Marshall was the top female runner in the 40-49 age division and Jeff Brown of Evansville, Ind. won the male 40-49 division.
Martha Immel was the top female in the 50-59 age division. Dave Healy was the top male in the 50-59 age division. Carol Parker was the top female in the over 60 category.
Thys Bax, the oldest runner of the event, was the top male runner in the over 60 category for men, finishing fifth overall. Bax recently finished 12th in the 10-mile Tunnel Hill run near Vienna and has numerous accolades for running events across the nation. The longtime coach and educator in the Carmi school system, Bax has competed in some of the top marathons in the nation, including the Boston Marathon.
In addition to awards for the top runners, the event offered prizes for the "Best Dressed." Landon Niehaus, Cheryl Young, Alex Aud and Katelyne Wolff were decked out in their holiday gear to earn prizes for the category. Also, Sherri Logan was the winner of a $50 random drawing held for the event.
"We had a ton of fun kicking off the White County Christmas for the Chamber with this event," said Dr. Amy Dixon, principal at Jefferson Attendance Center. "I would like to thank First Bank, First Insurance and First Financial for primarily sponsoring our event. All proceeds from this event will support the students of Jefferson Attendance Center. Specifically, we will use the money to pay for field trips, assemblies and student needs."
Other sponsors for the Reindeer Run were Evergreen Drilling, Chestin Farms, Plum Street Pharmacy, State Farm Dave Matheney and White County Ford and Chrysler. Also, CA Nails and Leanett Lovell Premier Jewelry provided prizes for the "Best Dressed" category.

Well, here's something new: Michael Vick's broken right hand isn't actually broken and instead a misread X-ray. Also new: something is going OK for the Eagles for once.
Yesterday, we wrote that Vick left the game against New York with a broken hand. What actually happened, according to Andy Reid at his press conference Monday afternoon, is that a swollen blood vessel was sitting on top of the hand bone and made it appear as if Vick suffered a fracture.
"Blood vessel sitting over the bone, made it look like there's a fracture," Reid said.
That's why the Eagles believed Vick broke his hand, although there's no real explanation for where the report on Monday morning about Vick missing three to four weeks with a broken hand came from.
It's tremendous news for Philadelphia, because it means that Vick, despite suffering a concussion in Week 2, should be OK to return as soon as this week, though it's possible that the contusion causes him to miss time if the swelling in his hand doesn't subside.
But as Clark Judge pointed out on Sunday night, losing Vick is the least of Philly's problems. They have a nightmare in terms of offensive line issues, and it's become quite obvious that all the free-agent signings in the world can't mask the defensive problems they have at linebacker and safety.
Also not helping? The Eagles upcoming three-game stretch -- versus the 49ers, at the Bills and at the Redskins -- went from "cakewalk" to "toughest stretch of their season" faster than Philly's offensive line can give up a quarterback pressure.

There was a time when the nickname said it all. When you said "Doc," everybody knew exactly who you were talking about. Dwight Gooden and the "K" corner was the best there was for several magical seasons at Shea Stadium.
Drugs took it all away, but he saved enough magic for one more night: A no-hitter while with the Yankees in 2006. The Mets' franchise has never thrown one.
After bouncing around the Yankees and Mets in goodwill fashion the past few years, Gooden will now serve as a senior vice president of the Newark Bears, an Atlantic League franchise. Gooden will be the Bears' community ambassador and work with youth baseball camps and leagues.
It is hoped Gooden's story will sink in with more than a few kids.
I saw Gooden pitch several times and the feeling was always electric. The fastball sizzled and the curve fell off the table and there was always the feeling of utter domination.
Now is a good time to share some Doc moments.

BRT Members and
Bias Response Protocol
The University of Northern Iowa seeks to be an ethical, caring and diverse community, and a safe institution of higher education. The university community values intellectual and academic freedom, the free exchange of ideas, and the well being of its students, faculty, staff and visitors. The campus community takes great pride in promoting a healthy environment and will hold accountable those individuals whose actions violate the law or university conduct policies. We will speak out against intolerance, and will support efforts to promote an inclusive community based on respect for all persons.
The University will not seek to discipline or prosecute individuals for expression of views in a manner that is protected by their rights under the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, but may challenge protected speech that conflicts with institutional values by speaking out against it, by providing educational opportunities, by supporting those negatively affected by such speech, or by other legal means.
Bias Response Team
The University maintains a Bias Response Team (BRT). The purpose of the BRT is to coordinate the University's response to bias-related incidents that affect the campus community. Bias-related incidents can contribute to an unsafe environment and/or have a negative effect on an individual, group, or the campus community. The BRT makes assessments of incidents; refers affected persons to appropriate offices such as Public Safety, Dean of Students, Compliance and Equity Management, and other support services; communicates with university administration and the campus community; and helps educate the campus about the ill effects of bias in order to maintain a campus environment of mutual respect.
Definition of a Bias-related Incident
A bias-related incident is any word or action directed toward an individual or group based upon actual or perceived identity characteristics or background of a group or person that is harmful or hurtful. Some bias-related incidents may be contrary to law or policy, while some may be speech protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
Examples of identity characteristics or background include age, color, creed, disability, gender identity, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status, or other bases protected by federal or state law or university policy. A bias incident is an action taken by an individual or group that may involve, but is not limited to, verbal abuse, assault, damage to property, sending threatening mail or e-mail, writing racial slurs or graffiti, stalking, verbal harassment and other bias-motivated behavior that contributes to or enables an unsafe and hostile campus environment.

hmm, It appears to be a nice trick, but it may not standout or mistook as some fruit if not placed properly. I'd say serve this with an appetizer?
- June 18, 2011 at 9:44 AM
That's a cool trick! I will have to try impressing my wife with that.
Chef John, I sure appreciate the work you put into your videos. I am absolutely hooked and always look forward to your next video. Great format, demonstrations, humor, and food.
Keep up the great work, man!

Brilliant! I've also wondered how people make daisies out of carrots! Yay, flower salads!

I LOVE to make a plate of food look pretty. My theory is that if it looks beautiful and good, people will think it's good, even if it's only mediocre (my food--certainly not yours!).
Anyway, thanks so much for this demo!

Hi Chef John,
I like these little kitchen-tricks. Something you never learn in any cookbooks.
- June 18, 2011 at 1:37 PM
Hi chef--nice video. I love little techniques like this for touches and garnishes. Please do more! You are an excellent teacher. As for you rescuing a firefighter in a tree--bravo..always help those who help us. But I have to question why he was trying to save a cat in a tree however. Did the cat call 911? Cats get into trees all the time and they can certainly get down without any problem. They don't need ladders. Cats do not need our 'rescue' efforts to get them out of a tree. Cheetahs and Mountain Lions often hang out in trees. I mean how many dead cat pelts do you see blowing in the breeze hanging from tree limbs? None cause every cat that climbed a tree got down on its own. :)

I'm not falling for this trick again, I have grim memories of nearly slicing my entire arm off trying to make that goddamned potato ball inside the cage ( despite the arterial blood, I did a good job). Rest assured though, if I do try it I'll make sure I'm good and drunk and using the sharpest knife I can find in my tool bag.

Traitor! Betraying the sneaky tricks of garde manger!
You can do the same thing with a fat radish. The red/white contrast is striking, and looks way more difficult to execute than it actually is.
I once saw a prep cook sculpt a mermaid out of cream cheese, as the centerpiece for a brunch buffet. Her hair was fresh dill, and her nipples were capers.
I'm pretty sure our chef wasn't around that morning. But the sous loved it.

"It doesn't matter if you're black, white, Latino, Asian…it doesn't matter if you're 5'11". It's the heart that you bring." Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks Quarterback
Russell Wilson, quarterback of the Super Bowl winning Seahawks has had his detractors. The 5'11' QB was a third-round-draft-pick whose 2013 salary was less than what his Super Bowl opponent, Peyton Manning, makes per game. He shouldn't have won the Super Bowl. In fact, he shouldn't have even played in the Super Bowl.
When asked how he accomplished such a feat, Wilson said that when he was young, his father would tap him on the shoulder and say, "Russ, why not you?" Those four words became his mantra and his message to the Seahawks team.
We've all had set backs, we all have detractors, and we all have bouts of self-doubt. The winning combination is to be someone who's confronted adversity and remained hopeful. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
In my experience as an executive coach, hope is one of the greatest indicators of personal success. Hope gives you the inspiration to move out of your comfort zone and aim for something better. Hope isn't a rose-colored lens that projects limitless optimism. It's a gut-felt confidence that no matter what happens, you have what it takes to pull through. It frees you to make difficult decisions and to aim for something far out of reach.
Russell Wilson is a great reminder that against overwhelming odds and an ocean of cynics, hope survives.
If he can do it, why can't you?

After a comprehensive immigration bill passed the Senate in June, President Obama says he's "absolutely confident" it can pass the House if put to a vote.
But critics question how many lawmakers have actually read the 1,200-page bill, which they say is packed with hidden pork-barrel spending projects ranging from $1.5 billion for a "Youth Jobs Program" to millions for immigrant support groups that some say have a political agenda.
"Earmarks, special pork deals, and cash for groups allied with the Obama administration should be eliminated from any final bill," Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said in a statement to FoxNews.com.
The largest program FoxNews.com found with tenuous ties to immigration is on page 1,181 of the Senate bill, which allocates $1.5 billion for a "Youth Jobs Fund" to give states money to "provide ... employment opportunities" for teens and young adults.
The section was introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who first proposed the idea in a stand-alone bill in June. He said then that, "we have got to do everything we can to make sure that young Americans have the jobs they need to pay for a college education and to move up the economic ladder."
His office did not respond to a request for comment about why the program is relevant to immigration.
Page 219 of the Senate version of the bill also allocates $50 million plus "such sums as may be necessary" to non-profit "immigrant-serving organizations." The bill says the organizations are to use the money to help immigrants here illegally apply for legal status and citizenship, and to teach them civics and English.
Supporters of that provision say the money will be well-spent.
"Investing in all 11 million aspiring Americans will enable them to contribute even more [to America]," said Julia Toepfer, a spokeswoman for the National Immigrant Justice Center, which provides legal services to thousands of illegal immigrants and which stands to get some of the $50 million.
But others worry about immigrant activists using the funds to engage in advocacy.
"It would be nice if the groups teach English ... but the money could very well be going to political advocacy," said Heather McDonald, a Manhattan Institute fellow who researches immigration.
Immigrant groups, though, say politics won't influence their services.
"This idea that immigration is all about creating more Democratic voters is ridiculous," Clarissa Martinez, the National Council of La Raza's director of civic engagement and immigration, told FoxNews.com.
"Immigration actually has a history of its fate being determined by both parties, so I think there is a great opportunity for the Republican Party to chart a new course and ask 'how do we make sure these immigrants become good Americans?' How do we support that?"
She added that she believed scrutiny for government money would be strict.
"I don't know if you've ever dealt with government grants, but the amount of paperwork and vetting that is involved, and the amount of scrutiny, is quite steep," Martinez said.
The millions for immigrant service organizations isn't the only money derided as pork. On page 217, there is a line that innocuously references another bill. But as Breitbart.com first noted, the line actually means that the federal government will now give out $100 million per year, for an indefinite period, for a "Travel Promotion Fund" to advertise U.S. tourism destinations in foreign media outlets. The fund already started in 2011, but the immigration bill provision would extend it indefinitely.
How did that get in the bill? It turns out the fund was initially created by legislation pushed by Nevada Sen. Harry Reid -- Las Vegas being one of the main beneficiaries of the tourism advertising.
In 2011, Reid said the program is a "wonderful piece of law that I was able to get through the Congress to help Nevada." Several Las Vegas casinos were so happy about the fund that they ran billboards thanking Reid.
Reid's office did not respond to questions.
But some opponents of the Senate bill say that while the pork is bad, it is the least of the bill's problems.
"Under this bill, if you're an illegal immigrant, and you have two misdemeanors on your record, you can get immediate amnesty," McDonald said.
Pages 140-143 of the bill say that illegal immigrants with three or more misdemeanor convictions, or an aggravated felony conviction, shouldn't get legal status unless the administration gives them a waiver "to ensure family unity" or "for humanitarian purposes."
Some supporters of the immigration bill concede that it contains pork.
"It is unjustly packed with pork spending of all kinds," said Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration analyst at the Cato Institute, who also counts as "pork" the increased spending on border security.
But aside from the pork, he says, the bill is mostly good.
"Most sections of the Senate immigration reform bill would improve American immigration law. ... The good portion of the bill increases guest worker visas, although not enough. It allows some unauthorized workers to legalize, but not enough."

By: Kelly Toughill in Halifax
Thousands of families will soon get a second chance to bring parents and grandparents to Canada.
That's the good news recently announced by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
The bad news is that there is no chance Canada will keep its promise to issue 10,000 permanent resident visas to extended family members in 2017.
Officials won't even finish collecting the new applications until December and it will take months to process those applications after they arrive.
Problems with the parent and grandparent sponsorship program are a classic case of great intentions gone wrong. In this case, families who followed the rules were suddenly shut out of the system, and other families were given false hope that they could reunite with ailing relatives.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet have changed Canada's immigration system significantly in the last 16 months. They reversed a much-criticized law that allowed the government to strip people of their Canadian citizenship. They set up new programs to help businesses recruit tech workers and to support Francophone immigration outside Quebec. They made it easier for entrepreneurs to come to Canada, and eased rules for workers who want to move to struggling Atlantic Canada. They shortened the wait time to sponsor a spouse and made the forms easier to read and understand. They helped international students by setting up a new, speedy immigration program in Atlantic Canada, giving students extra points for Canadian degrees and making it easier for international students to become citizens after they get permanent resident status.
Those changes were greeted with relief and even gratitude across Canada.
Changes to the parent and grandparent program were supposed to be another feel-good tweak to the system. Instead, the changes angered the very consitutuency the government was trying to please.
Under the Conservative government, Ottawa set a quota each year for the number of Canadian families that could sponsor a parent or grandparent for permanent resident status. The Liberal government doubled the quota from 5,000 to 10,000, but initially kept the same process: applications opened in early January and closed when the quota was reached – always within days.
To win one of the coveted visas, most families hired experienced immigration lawyers or consultants and paid stiff fees for private couriers to wait in line outside the Mississauga processing centre the night before the program opened.
Just three weeks before the program was expected to open this year, the government announced it was scrapping the first-come, first-served system. Instead, then-Immigration Minister John McCallum invited families to fill out an online form and promised to hold a lottery to decide who could formally apply. He called the new process "more fair and transparent."
The announcement came after thousands of families had already prepared applications that require medical exams, police certificates and expensive translations, not to mention lawyers' fees. Many families wasted months of work and thousands of dollars on applications they would never get to file.
The larger problem, though, was the online form set up to register for the lottery; families could fill out the form without figuring out if they were actually eligible to sponsor a parent or grandparent.
Most know that only Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor a parent or grandparent for permanent resident status. But many don't know that you must be able to support that parent and that the only acceptable proof of your financial ability is past income tax forms. Many also didn't realize that parents and grandparents must be healthy to immigrate to Canada.
When immigration lawyers and regulated consultants saw the online form, many immediately warned of coming pandemonium. Some dismissed those warnings as sour grapes, suggesting that lawyers were just mad that clients might be able to sponsor relatives without their high-priced help.
It turns out the lawyers were right.
Almost 100,000 families registered for the lottery, but only a fraction of the 10,000 that were invited to apply actually managed to do so.
Immigration consultants shared stories of clients showing up on their doorstep with expectations that Canada was going to immediately fly their relatives here because the family had "won the lottery." Many had no idea they still had to pull together the complex and expensive application in 90 days. In June, an immigration official told a conference that only 700 of the 10,000 families had filed applications, and that 15 percent of those applications were incomplete.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada still doesn't know how many of the 10,000 families invited to apply will actually get to bring their relatives to Canada. A spokesperson said this week that 6,020 of the 10,000 families invited to apply last February actually filed applications. However, immigration officers still don't know how many of those application are complete or valid. Those numbers are expected later this fall.
In the meantime, Ottawa has quietly launched a second lottery. The notice was posted Friday afternoon before Labour Day. The new invitations were sent out on Sept. 6. Families must finish the applications by Dec. 8, and it will take several months after that deadline for permanent resident visas to be issued.
Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen vigorously defended the new application process in early summer, when the problems first became public. Hussen could not be reached for comment this week, but a spokesperson for the department suggested the new process might change.
"This is the first year that we're using the new random selection intake process, and we are actively monitoring this model to see how we can make improvements in future years," communications advisor Faith St.-John wrote in an email.

Commentary by Surjit Singh Flora in Brampton
For many Sikhs in Canada today, the Komagata Maru incident still looms large in our consciousness.
For anyone not familiar with this event in our nation's history, in May 1914 the Komagata Maru sailed from Hong Kong bound for Vancouver, carrying 376 passengers. Most of the passengers were from the Punjab, India. All were British subjects.
At that time, Canada had a regulation referred to as "continuous passage" which stated that immigrants must "come from the country of their birth, or citizenship, by a continuous journey and on through tickets purchased before leaving the country of their birth, or citizenship."
The regulation had been brought into force in 1908 to curb Indian immigration to Canada. The passengers on the ship intended to challenge this regulation. On their arrival, the ship was denied docking privileges, and eventually the ship was escorted out of the harbour by the Canadian military in July 1914 and forced to sail back to India, where 19 of the passengers were killed by gunfire upon disembarking and many others imprisoned.
The Komagata Maru story is an example of what was then the ultimate expression of colonial bigotry, exposing Canada's deliberate process in controlling immigration by excluding those people the government of the day deemed unfit to enter. These justifications were couched in racist and ethnocentric views of "progress", "civilization", and "suitability" which all were used to support the view that Canada should remain a "White Man's Country".
Greener pastures
In terms of immigration policy, the Canada of today is the complete opposite of still colonial pre-World War I Canada.
Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has declared that our borders are open to anyone. But this "openness" is now being tested. Refugee claimants reacting to U.S. President Donald Trump's tougher stand on immigration have begun to head north to what they may see as greener, more accepting pastures. They are now daily crossings at the border, flouting the Canada – U.S. "Safe Third Country Agreement", under which refugee claimants are required to request refugee protection in the first "safe" country they arrive in.
In landing in the U.S., but crossing our border as refugees, they are in fact breaking the law and this has become a difficult situation for Prime Minister Trudeau, while simultaneously making many Canadians very uneasy.
Many of us applauded our new government's efforts to bring Syrian refugees to Canada. I believe a big part of the general acceptance of this policy was rooted in public perception that the process was well organized, refugee claimants were thoroughly screened and upon arrival the housing, schooling and other necessary supports were well in place. The latest development is the opposite of organized, with claimants crossing Canada's porous and largely uncontrolled border with no pre-screening and no homes and sponsors waiting to receive them.
Asylum shopping
Canadians are now watching to see how our government will react to this new refugee situation. If Canada does not exert its sovereignty, honour the Safe Third Country Agreement, and deter these opportunistic attempts at what can only be seen as "shopping for a yes" by claimants, this trickle will become a wave.
Canada is ill prepared for uncontrolled refugee claimants streaming into this country, and I believe the majority of Canadians expect our government to act in Canada's best interest. This means not merely reacting to claimants crossing our borders, but to act by deterring it. We are a country that values fair process and the rule of law.
Today, Canada has a compassionate, principled approach to both immigration and refugees. Our government's inability to control this developing situation may ultimately do harm to our current refugee system, ultimately causing Canadians to have a lack of faith in the system, and ultimately in the government that is charged with managing it.
Prime Minister Trudeau will need to step outside of his comfort zone and put in place firm measures to respond to this looming crisis. At times like these, his usual "sunny ways" approach will have to give way to more firm leadership.
The Prime Minister is being tested here, and his next move may finally provide Canadians with a true indication of just how fit to lead Justin Trudeau really is.

Commentary by Fred Maroun in Ottawa
Kellie Leitch is one of the candidates seeking the leadership of Canada's Conservative party, and she attracted much attention with her proposal for "screening immigrants, refugees, and visitors, for anti-Canadian values". There are two parts to Leitch's proposal.
First, there is the concept of Canadian values then there is the screening.
Leitch is simply advancing widely accepted principles. She lists six values, which belong in three categories:
· Nice-sounding but unenforceable character traits: "helping others", "hard work", and "generosity".
· "Freedom and tolerance", which she elaborates to mean "equality of men and women, freedom of religion, and equality of all under the law". These values are already covered in further details in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is part of our constitution.
· "Equal opportunity", less a moral value than a political belief because it affects the functioning of government rather than the actions of individuals.
Canadian values are not a Conservative or even a Liberal idea even though we owe our charter to former Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. The term "Canadian values" is not widely used, yet the values are widely accepted by Canadians and even enshrined in our constitution.
On this basis, Leitch's proposal should not be controversial, but it has become a lightning rod because there is the suspicion that it targets Muslims.
Are Canadian Values Islamophobic?
If Canadian values are seen to be hostile to Islam, it is because they are, at least when it comes to Islam as practised today by the vast majority of Muslim-majority countries. Those countries have no democratic freedoms, lesser rights for women and some ethnic groups, limited freedom of religion, and limited legal rights for non-citizens.
Islam is often used as justification for terrorism and other forms of violence in many parts of the world.
It is natural to be concerned about whether Muslims who come to Canada will negatively affect our values in the long term by adopting some of the same practices used in their countries of origin. This fear exists among much of the population of the Western world, including Canada, yet few mainstream politicians dare raise it or, even less, propose solutions.
Charter principles
Although Leitch does not state it, it is clear that her proposal is a way of addressing the fear of Islam. Her refusal to make the connection may be an attempt to avoid being labelled anti-Muslim. Leitch insists that her proposal is not anti-Muslim, and she is correct. Leitch is addressing legitimate fears of Islam in a positive way, by promoting Canadian values, which are consistent with the values of many individual Muslims, and not in a negative way, which would be to single out Islam as U.S. President Donald Trump has done through his recent executive order.
Our charter contradicts some of the widely practised Muslim principles, but it also contradicts some Christian and Jewish principles. For example, some Christian and Jewish denominations do not support gender equality.
If our Charter, and by extension our Canadian values, were anti-Muslim then they would also have to be considered anti-Christian and anti-Jewish, which is not the case. The Canadian Charter explicitly protects freedom of religion, while it expects Canadians to abide by our Canadian values. This is a recognition that individuals can think for themselves and can believe in a faith without blindly applying each of its stated principles.
Highly Desirable Policy
In this light, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is Pierre Trudeau's son, should be even moral vocal than Leitch in promoting Canadian values, but instead, he is choosing to support a motion that condemns "Islamophobia". Muslims and all other minorities must be protected against discrimination and violence, but politicians are hypocritical when they pretend that Islam is not a legitimate concern for many Canadians.
Canadian values should be a source of pride, not a source of partisan debate. If newcomers to Canada can be screened to protect our values, such a policy should be welcomed by everyone, including by Muslims who are here to escape the tyrannical regimes of their countries of origin.
Leitch's proposal is still at a very early stage, and there are valid questions on how it would be implemented to avoid discrimination on the basis of religion. It is on such practical aspects that the debate should center. It may turn out that her proposal is not feasible, but it does not necessarily follow that this is a needless debate.

The cold-blooded shooting of six Muslims following evening prayers on Jan 29 at a Québec City mosque has, predictably, amplified the acrimonious debate over racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia in Quebec – as the suspect, who also injured a dozen others, is a 27-year-old white Québécois university student.
Calls for an Inquiry Commission on "Systemic Racism in Québec" quickly redoubled and political leaders, responding only piecemeal, did not hesitate to label the mass killing an "act of terrorism" – although "terrorism" is not among the six counts of murder the Québec City police have charged Alexandre Bissonnette with.
Never to miss an opportunity, militant secularists, including Muslim ones, chimed in, accusing political leaders, from Quebec's Philippe Couillard to Canada's Justin Trudeau, of "Islamizing Canadian Democracy" – while progressive secularists, Québécois mainly, complained some people were heaping collective guilt on all Québécois for the crime of one individual – a role reversal since all Muslims are usually held responsible for each and every terrorist act committed by Takfiris/Salafis, ISIL/Daesh, Al Qaeda…
Skewed against immigrants
And, as usual, familiar noises came from the English North American media about Quebec being "more racist" than the rest of Canada – and the Quebec National Assembly unanimously condemned a Washington Post article, penned by Vancouver-based J.J. McCullough, saying exactly that, adding Quebec's "history of anti-Semitism" and "religious bigotry" leads to "more massacres" like this one.
The motion was moved by the opposition Parti Québécois, the party whose ethno-centrist "Charter of Values" bill died on the order paper as the PQ was resoundingly defeated by the Liberals (41% to 25%) in the 2014 elections. The Bloc Québécois proposed a similar motion in Ottawa denouncing the newspaper article as "hateful", but the House of Commons refused to debate it.
As everywhere else throughout the hegemonic, and increasingly isolationist, West, the playing field, and the rules, remain heavily skewed against immigrants, refugees and all minority communities, yet the ruling communities paint themselves more and more as victims. And this trend has become noticeable in Quebec too in the wake of the Jan 29 shooting.
Re-igniting "reasonable accommodation"
To be fair, a huge mass of Québécois remain committed to an open and plural society, welcoming of diversity and militant in solidarity, as tens of thousands made it clear by attending a public meeting next to a mosque, and in snow and deep sub-zero temperature on Jan 31, in the heavily immigrant neighbourhood of Park Extension in Montreal, home of our very own Little South Asia.
Heart-warming as this demonstration was, it is highly unlikely that the discourse resulting from the Québec City shooting will help in putting to rest the old debate over "reasonable accommodation" in Quebec. If anything, it has re-ignited it. And police and media secrecy and selective leaks have only fed suspicion and distrust.
In the early hours following the massacre, media reports quoting informed sources, even witnesses, suggested there were two masked gunmen, and they shouted the Muslim cry of "Allah o Akbar". The first-named suspect was a Muslim from Morocco, and stories suggested it may have been a settling of accounts between two neighbouring mosques of rival denominations.
The police then announced the Muslim man was "only a witness" and that the prime suspect was Alexandre Bissonnette – who apparently called police himself and gave himself up on the bridge linking Québec City to Orléans Island. The media then posted the photo of a suited and clean-cut boyish looking Bissonnette – who we were told was known in local social media circles as a pro-Fascist, anti-Feminist, anti-Immigrant, Islamophobic admirer of US President Donald Trump. But the police remains silent – and the media has stopped digging.
Appearing Feb 6 before the Senate committee on national security, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson refused to give details of the inquiry into the Québec City shooting. He instead voiced concern that the "caustic tone" of "political discourse" in Canada may contribute to "radicalize criminal extremists". For its part, CSIS has warned of the recent development "of a Canadian online anti-Islam movement, similar to ones in Europe."
As in the US and Europe, Quebec and Canada are in the throes of a major global re-balancing of power, marked by a decline of century-old global Western hegemony. The rise of xenophobia, particularly Islamophobia, and of right-wing populism and fascism, is a by-product of this momentous crisis – and the Québec City shooting, like the election of Donald Trump to the White House and the rise of Marine Le Pen in France, are its symptoms.
The trials and traumas are bound to get worse before they get better.

Commentary by Binoy Kampmark in Melbourne, Australia
It was a moment of delightful reflection. The indecently smug politicians of a distant island continent, wealthy, cruel in refugee policy and lazy in development, stunned by encountering a short fused U.S. President who had little time for a "dumb" deal.
That deal, prematurely hatched during the last stages of the Obama administration with the Turnbull government, would see 1,250 refugees on Australia's questionable offshore centres on Manus Island and Nauru, settled in the United States.
(As Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau heads to Washington for his first meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and the province of Manitoba deals with a large number of refugees streaming across the border, Turnbull's experience could prove useful. As ipolitics.ca has reported, the visit comes on the heels of reports of diplomatically bruising phone calls between Trump and both Turnbull and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, in which he apparently broke diplomatic protocol and slammed both for an Australian-US refugee-swapping deal and Mexico's handling of "tough hombres.")
Australia's fanatical insistence on not processing refugees and asylum seekers arriving by sea lanes has produced a flawed and unsustainable gulag system in the Pacific, along with deals of mind scratching eccentricity.
Poorer countries such as Cambodia and Nauru are deemed appropriate processing centres and places of re-settlement, despite local hostilities and incompatibilities. Wealthier countries such as New Zealand tend to be ignored as optional points since resettlement there, should it happen, would be embolden new arrivals. The one exception – the United States – was largely premised on both its distance from Australia and daftness of mind amongst Canberra's policy fraternity.
In its desperation to find customers in the global supermarket of refugee shopping, Washington offered a tentative hand to feed the Australian habit. That hand was rapidly withdrawn on Donald Trump's signing of the Executive Order banning travel from seven mainly Muslim states. Many of these nationals feature in the 1,250 total, with Iranians making up the largest cohort. (It was a deal that Turnbull, incidentally, refused to condemn: Australia, he realises, knows what bans and bars to immigrants and refuges look like.)
According to the Washington Post, Trump explained in exasperated fashion to Australia's Malcolm Turnbull by phone that the agreement was "the worst deal ever" and made it clear he was "going to get killed" politically if it was implemented. In his pointed assertion, Turnbull was effectively attempting to export the "next Boston bombers" to the United States. Australia, usually painfully supine before the wishes of the United States, had surprised Trump with "the worst call by far."
Caught by the icy fury of the Trump blast, the conversation between the two leaders was cut short: what was slated for an hour became a 25 minute heckle and boast. The size of Trump's electoral college win was reputedly mentioned, while the number of refugees was inflated.
Did The Donald hang up on the stunned Turnbull? The meek response followed: "I'm not going to comment on the conversation." The official record from Washington made the school boy encounter dully deceptive: "Both leaders emphasized the enduring strength and closeness of the US-Australia relationship that is critical for peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region and globally."
Taking to his preferred medium of announcement and expression, he tweeted in disbelief that he could be bound by a previous undertaking: "Do you believe it? The Obama Administration agreed to take thousands of illegal immigrants from Australia. Why? I will study this dumb deal!"
Turnbull preferred an Alice in Wonderland approach to Trump's tongue lashing, beating a hasty retreat down the rabbit hole in confused hope. Citing what seemed to be a distinctly different, mutated conversation, a brow beaten Turnbull preferred to refer to the president's official spokesman who confirmed that "the president … would continue with, honour the agreement we entered into with the Obama administration, with respect to refugee settlement."
This parallel diplomacy approach was also adopted before the National Press Club: "The Trump administration has committed to progress with the arrangements to honour the deal… that was entered into with the Obama administration, and that was the assurance the president gave me when we spoke on the weekend."
To be fair to the confused Turnbull, the Trump administration is proving to be quite a tease. Volcanic contradictions are fizzling out of the White House on a daily basis, the toddler, as he has been accused of being, ever erratic with his tempers. Trump pours cold water on the deal; the White House spokesman Sean Spicer, probably informed by a different set of whispers, comes up with another statement that Washington would, in fact, follow through:
"The deal specifically deals with 1,250 people," explained Spicer to the White House press corps, "they're mostly in Papua New Guinea, being held… there will be extreme vetting applied to all of them as part and parcel of the deal that was made."
Even if this near aborted deal were to revive in spectacular confusion, it would only apply to refugees who "express an interest" in being settled in the US, and who satisfied an "extreme vetting" regime. Numbers matter less than process, or, in the words of secretary of the immigration department Mike Pezzullo from November, this was "a process-driven arrangement rather than a numerical arrangement." What price humanity.
This entire incident is being taken as a litmus test of Trump's relations with his allies. Will the man boy behave or berate? Towards Mexico and Australia, his approach is one of irritable businessman rather than sober statesman.
Nor should the other side be neglected in this farcical cut of entertainment. Canberra could have embraced the other option, one unacceptable for the Turnbull government: abide by the Refugee Convention and duly settle the refugees in Australia. Can the cant; observe international law. Trump's fumes of indignation would be avoided and Canberra would be doing something near unprecedented: implementing an approach of independence and obligation.

Commentary by Steve Dooley in Surrey
A Surrey forum held earlier this year on helping Syrian refugees settle in our area started with an ice-breaker. Participants were asked to stand if they were born outside Canada.
About a third of the room stood.
They were next asked to stand if their parents were born outside the country. More stood.
Grandparents? More took to their feet.
And at great grandparents, nearly the whole room was standing.
In the multicultural dynamic that is Canada, we know that apart from our Aboriginal communities, all of us, at one point in our family lineage, came from somewhere else. And over the nearly 150 years of nation building, there have been many paths to becoming part of the Canadian fabric.
Some have been relatively easy, others, born of great tragedy – those fleeing war, trauma and abuse, not necessarily coming to Canada as a choice.
Eager to contribute
And with the picture of a lifeless child on a beach in Turkey, the world opened its eyes to the latest forced migration from Syria, with many Syrian refugees arriving in Canada over the past six months.
Many refer to the settlement of Syrian refugees as a crisis. There have been fears that federal government targets would overwhelm settlement services and host municipalities.
There have been many challenges in meeting immediate and short-term needs of refugees, who woke up after a long flight, finding themselves in this new place called Canada.
Long wait lists for English training, housing shortages, particularly for larger families, and lack of employment opportunities are very real problems being addressed in communities across Canada.
A recent experience I had with a small group of refugees in Surrey has led me to believe that far from a crisis, the settlement of new refugees in Canada is in fact a huge opportunity.
Being a good neighbour
As the lead researcher on a year-long, recently completed study involving Simon Fraser University and several community partners, I had the pleasure of working with seven recent refugees from Myanmar, Somalia, Iraq and El Salvador. They were recruited as project research assistants (RAs) to help set the study's scope, recruit participants, lead focus groups, interpret findings and participate in community planning.
While each had a personal story of tragedy and survival, they were eager to contribute, brought a broad set of skills and capacity to the work, and become leaders within their own communities.
The study, Our Community Our Voice: The settlement and Integration Needs of Refugees in Surrey, B.C., was a joint effort between SFU, the Surrey Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) and the City of Surrey.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada provided funding through the Surrey LIP. SFU's involvement exemplifies the University's commitment to engaging our communities, being a good neighbour and helping to solve issues that affect our communities.
Our report, which will help the city draft its settlement plan, spoke to the many issues facing refugees, and lays out a series of recommendations, from additional resources for new or existing programs targeting health, language, employment and housing, to improving how we communicate with refugees at all levels of the settlement process, and helping the community to better understand and engage with refugees during their transition.
Talents and dreams
No one understands this better than the refugees themselves, who deeply informed our discussions. And our RAs were the bridge.
In community development we often refer to skills development as "capacity building".
It was clear to me that these refugees brought a lot of capacity to the amazing work they did, and I was thrilled and humbled to have the opportunity to work with this stellar group of individuals.
There is still much work to be done, but these RAs showed us first-hand how the refugees coming to Canada bring far more than the label imposed on them. They have talents and dreams and hopes for their children.
And, while some will find their way back to their homelands, most will become part of the Canadian fabric, stay and make contributions to nation building.
Some will live quiet and simple lives, while others go on to become lawyers, doctors, nurses and teachers, or go into politics, start a new business venture, open a new media outlet.
They will build things, work in construction and on the factory floor. So will their children. But through the actions of daily living, all will contribute to the Canadian dynamic.
Based on Canadian history and my own experience from this study, I know, with time, there is space for opportunity to trump tragedy. It is not a crisis we have on our hands, but another in a long series of humanitarian support efforts that over time will lead to positive impacts on our neighborhoods, our cities and our nation.
Thirty years from now, in another community forum on how to support the latest wave of refugees, people will be asked to stand if they are born outside Canada. The Syrian refugees of today will stand thinking back on their own experiences of settlement.
And, they will lend a hand.

Sitting cross-legged on a thin UNHCR mat covering a concrete floor and nursing her 14-month-old, Yasmeen Al-Alow was glad to be out of the jail that is Village 5 — Azraq's notorious camp-within-the-camp.
Surrounded by barbed wire, Village 5 and Village 2 are where new Syrian refugees were taken before Jordan sealed its borders. Those inside the villages haven't been allowed outside the wire for months. The Jordanian government fears the new arrivals pose a security threat to the other refugees in the camp. Containing new refugees in the prison-like camps is one way to decrease the chance of ISIS infiltration, authorities say.
Those living in Village 5 and Village 2 are virtual prisoners; unlike Syrian refugees who live in Azraq's other villages, they are not allowed to walk through the streets, to the supermarket, or anywhere at all.
The Azraq refugee camp, located in a remote, sweltering desert landscape southeast of the capital Amman, is home to nearly 40,000 Syrian refugees who fled the civil war. Half of Azraq's residents are children.
Most of the Syrians living in Villages 5 and 2 arrived from a desert region surrounded by sandbanks along the Jordanian border. The United Nations estimates that more than 85,000 people are stranded in Ruqban — a camp near the point where Jordan, Syria and Iraq meet — and Hadalat camp, 80 km to the west, where Al-Alow and her family were stranded for months.
iPolitics asked to visit Villages 5 and 2. A government official at the camp said it's forbidden, citing security reasons. Photos were not permitted, either.
Since November, the Canadian government has welcomed nearly 30,000 Syrian refugees. King Abdullah of Jordan told the BBC in February that his country is at the "boiling point" because of an influx of hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees. The king said the international community has to offer more help if it wants Jordan to continue taking refugees.
The Jordanian government compromised, however, and set up Village 5 in March. It was a move intended to help international aid agencies trying to expedite the admission of thousands of refugees, like Al-Alow, who were stuck waiting at the border.
Al-Alow, 21, and her husband Muhammed, 26, had been living in their new caravan in Village Six for just over a week. Two jugs of water and a small kettle sat atop the small table at the front of the caravan that serves as a kitchen.
Al-Alow said she and her family are refugees by accident. They left their home in Syria a few months ago with the intention of visiting family in Jordan — but when they arrived at the Syrian border, they had no choice but to live in the berm while they waited to get into Jordan. That wait took four months; by then, the smugglers who drove them to the Syrian border could not take them back home.
"My family came to visit from Kuwait and they were on the other side of the barbed wire," Al-Alow said via a translator. That visit lasted five minutes.
"We didn't talk. We just cried."
Kuwait has also sealed its borders, blocking Syrians from joining family members there.
Najwa Al-Shaikh, 32, and her four children arrived from Syria a few months ago; her family also lived in Village 5. Al-Shaikh's mother arrived beforehand so their caravan is quite homey. Her mother has set up a little convenience store where children come to buy candy.
Despite the 35-degree heat, Al-Shaikh offered me hot tea and sugar on a silver tray, a display of Syrian hospitality found in every caravan I visited.
Al-Shaikh said she and her young children waited in the desert for months with little food or water in harsh conditions before they were granted permission to enter Jordan.
Her husband was arrested by Bashar al-Assad's regime, she said. Sometimes, regime authorities tell her that her husband is still alive — other times they tell her he's been killed.
She gestured toward her 11-year-old daughter Ala, who pulled up her pant cuff to reveal a thin leg covered with scars.
"One of my daughters was killed by the regime, and Ala was injured by the rockets," she said. All Ala remembers is playing in the playground that day.
The situation in Azraq is "very bad," the young woman said. Her mother shook her head and suggested that in a month or two, her daughter will adjust.
Aecha Mohammed Shaban, 29, and her four children are thankful for the safety the camp offers.
"In the beginning it was very difficult to live here, how can we live here?" said Shaban, sitting on a long cushion which doubles as a bed for her and her children at night.
Suddenly, the sound of gunshots coming from a nearby military base shattered the desert silence. The children — who had been smiling by their mother's side — covered their ears and began to cry.
iPolitics' Janice Dickson visited Jordan from July 9 – July 25th. Dickson spent long days in Jordan's refugee camps talking to Syrian refugees about the challenges in the camps and their gruelling journey across the desert to get there.

The Muslim Link
by Shan Qiao in Toronto
Queer activist Arsham Parsi took a risk when he left Iran and began to help other Iranians escape persecution for being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT).
At a reading for his book Exiled for Love at the Toronto Public Library's St. James Town branch, Parsi recalls the first time he attended Toronto's Pride Parade 10 years ago, where he met an Iranian woman enjoying the parade.
He gave her his business card, hoping to get support from his own community.
"'This is not us, this is them!' she said and turned her face and walked away," Parsi recalls. "I think I must have ruined her day because she couldn't believe that Iranian LGBT exist."
In search of a community
Instead of clustering in Iranian-populated communities, Parsi says he chooses to reside in Toronto's LGBT-oriented enclave in the Church and Wellesley area. While Canada is embracing his sexuality, he says his own countrymen still deny him and other Iranian queers.
"[Former Iranian] President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was not the first one to say that we don't have homosexuals [in Iran]," says Parsi. "I clearly remember that lady saying, 'We don't have it.'"
Parsi was already active during his early 20s in providing support to gay men in Iran through an online community. Still in Iran, he planned his 22-year-old birthday party at home and invited all his gay friends, only to be warned by a relative that there would be a police raid.
He says he called off the party at the last minute and learned that the police were using the Internet to entrap gay men.
While he was never arrested, he knows other homosexuals in Iran who were. Of his gay friends who were taken into custody, some received 175 lashes on their backs, while others were tortured during interrogations.
Parsi says the immanent danger he felt every day was intolerant, forcing him to escape Iran. He told his family that he was going to study at a university in Cypress, but instead took a train to Turkey and sought asylum through the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in Ankara.
From exile to acceptance
Parsi writes about being attacked with another gay Iranian refugee in Turkey while onlookers stood by. It took him a little over one year to finally receive refugee status and be accepted to Canada.
"Since arriving at the Canadian Embassy in Ankara, I had been treated with genuine openness and warmth," Parsi writes in Exiled for Love. "The man smiled. I hoped that everyone in Canada would be like him."
Upon arrival in Toronto in May 2006, Parsi says he, "inhaled deeply and felt the tears create wet paths across my cheeks . . . I felt as if I could breathe without pain."
Parsi was 25 when he came to Canada as a government-sponsored refugee in the Refugee Assistance Program. During his first 12 months in Canada, he received financial assistance to cover basic needs – $604 a month to be exact.
"Not much, but it helped," he says.
Parsi still receives threats from the Iranian community – something he says he deals with, but tries to ignore.
"I have professional relationships with the Iranian community, but I don't participate in their events because sometimes they make me very upset," he explains. He says there are members of the Iranian-Canadian community who are intolerant and don't support each other.
"I don't care what they say," says Parsi. "I continue with my work. It's still risky, but I don't like to admit it."
Railroad of support
In 2008, Parsi founded the Iranian Railroad for Queer Refugees (IRQR). As of December 2015, the IRQR has helped more than 1,200 Iranians who identify as LGBT claim refugee status.
According to the UNHCR in Ankara, more than 26,500 Iranian refugees were registered as of May 2016. UNHCR has registered 1,177 refugees who identify as LGBT as of June 2016 – 1,046 being from Iran, representing gay, lesbian and transgender individuals.
Parsi and the IRQR are following 820 of the 1,046 LGBT refugee applications to help them go through UNHCR processes and eventually lead them to gain refugee status in Western countries. During the process, IRQR provides support and counselling to members of Iran's LGBT community.
"I would accept the generosity and security Canada offered me. I would use it to continue my work for others back in Iran," writes Parsi in Exiled for Love. "This wonderful country would be where I would live, but one day I would go home. Until that day came, I would be in exile."

by Shan Qiao in Toronto
Without saying anything, Farrah Khan hands out a clipboard with a piece of paper on it to each person in the room.
"Now, I want each of you start to draw what was in your head at 9 a.m. this morning," she says. "When time is due, you'll hand the clipboard to the person next to you and continue on another person's drawing." Khan then plays a song by Beyoncé on her iPhone.
Several participants, including Khan, finish drawing different parts of each other's pictures before they are returned to the original artist. The result is a joint effort made by each member of the group to explore their fellow participants' mindsets.
Politics in comics
It is the starting point for The Panel Is Political, a discussion on how to use comic books for social change, at Another Story Bookshop in Toronto's Parkdale neighbourhood.
The discussion is also led by Seemi Jamil, a youth group coordinator at the Afghan Women's Organization in Mississauga, and Nicole Marie Burton, a comic book illustrator and founder and co-owner of Ad Astra Comix – North America's first publisher dedicated to comics about social justice themes.
Jamil and Burton worked together early this year to develop a youth program that teaches immigrant and activist youth to draw and express their feelings. The program involved one-and-a-half hour sessions, held once a week for eight weeks.
"Nicole [Burton] comes by and does workshops with the youth groups and teaches them how to do graphic-novel style storytelling," Jamil explains.
"We wrote a paragraph about a challenge we had to deal with in anonymity," begins Burton, describing one of the group's activities. She says the written paragraphs were ripped into pieces, folded, and mixed in a hat.
"Everybody drew out a story and had to tell it in a comic form," she adds. "It was incredible to me how much could have been done with that," says Burton about the activity.
Other activities focused on character design, practising different dimensions and shapes, and drawing about current events. She adds that there never seemed to be enough time in each session to meet the youth's high level of interest in each activity.
Visual storytelling
"I was trying to get low-income youth groups to have some art form where they can talk about their own stories," Jamil says. "They are interested in talking about what it is like to be low-income in Canada but also assimilated within society."
An example of a political comic book that helps youth understand global events, says Jamil, is Persepolis – a graphic novel about the revolution in Iran.
"We've seen a large trend in youth groups trying to express themselves through different art forms as opposed to just writing," she continues.
She says the program's young female participants are of Afghani and Pakistani descent, and that the workshops focus on minority voices, people of colour, women of colour, and political situations all over the world.
Graphic novels, Jamil says, not only help immigrant and refugee youth to understand, but also to be able to learn how to tell, their own story. She stresses that for marginalized groups who do not have the same vocabulary or English proficiency as other Canadians, art can help them understand and share ideas.
Political comics gaining momentum
Burton started Ad Astra Comix in 2013 in Toronto. She says she is passionate about social justice and wants to see more political comics that touch on topics such as sexism, racism, colonialism, homophobia and transphobia.
Ad Astra Comix not only publishes, but also creates its own graphic novels, including its first full-length graphic novel Drawing the Line: Indian Women Fight Back, a collection of stories by Indian women about topics including harassment, race, class and political struggle.
Khan, the inaugural Sexual Violence Support and Education Coordinator at Ryerson University, has more than a decade of experience speaking about violence against women.
As a trauma counsellor, she has led several educational programs, including comic book projects, to help women express their feelings and fears through drawing.
In 2012, Khan put together a program to run a comic book workshop specifically for South Asian women. She says white comic book artists often portray South Asian women stereotypically.
The project resulted in a comic book called Heartbeats: The IZZAT Project, featuring stories and illustrations by South Asian women about violence and resilience in their lives.
The book was chosen by the Tahirih Justice Centre to be part of a tour to raise awareness about forced marriage in the United States.
One of the stories the book features, titled "Cage," resulted in the escape of one of the program's participants from her abusive family. Khan says the young woman was able to find help at a women's shelter two cities away from her home during the project.
