A defection.
Calls for a leader’s resignation.
Internal fighting.

@CanadianGreens are in the news for all the wrong reasons lately.

theglobeandmail.com/podcasts/the-d…
Last Friday, former Green MP @JenicaAtwin crossed the floor to join the Liberals after a clash with her party over her position on the Israel-Palestine fighting.

theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
By Monday, some factions of the Greens were calling on their leader, @AnnamiePaul, to step down less than a year after she took the helm.

theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
On Wednesday, Paul stood firm and accused both members of her own party’s executive and Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau of trying to subvert her and the vision she campaigned on.

theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
🔊 Political reporter @MariekeWalsh joins @anima_tk to explain why this is all happening, what led up to it and how underneath it all there is a bigger struggle within the Greens about what it is and what it wants to be.

Mumilaaq Qaqqaq would give herself pep talks in the elevators at work. After the doors to the parliamentary elevators closed, away from her fellow MPs, she said she’d often repeat three words to herself: I belong here. I belong here.

tgam.ca/3vByBat
There were times when others tried to tell her she didn’t belong. She would be stopped in the hallways by security. People asked if she was someone’s assistant. @MumilaaqQaqqaq acknowledges she’s never really felt comfortable in the House of Commons.

tgam.ca/3vByBat
“It’s a very uneasy place,” she said. “It’s a place where they make laws that result in Indigenous death and result in turmoil for a lot of our communities. I feel that.”

While young Chinese people make up the majority of international students, many have no intention of staying. For them, China isn’t just home, but a place whose embrace of modernity has created comforts not available in North America

Chinese students like to joke about Canada as haoshan, haoshui, hao wuliao: nice mountains, nice water, very boring. China is not boring and its air and water are quickly improving, along with its salaries.

In the U.S., things have changed over the past 20 years. In 2001, 91.4% of PhDs from China intended to remain in the U.S. By 2019, the number had fallen to 79.3%, with the remainder expected to return to China

In the United States, some companies are struggling to find workers, despite the millions of Americans who remain jobless after pandemic layoffs.

Job openings have surged, but small business are also reporting difficulties in filling positions.

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Parents struggling to find child care, lingering health concerns, or generous income supports are some reasons why some workers are in no rush to accept job offers, analysts say.

Now that Canada is starting to reopen, can it expect the same?

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
As it stands, Canada has a shorter path to recovery, in part thanks to its wage-subsidy program. It's recouped 83% of its pandemic job losses, next to the U.S.'s 63%, keeping employees "a little more engaged" with their employers, an economist said.

Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau said bonuses Air Canada paid to executives while the company was negotiating a government bailout are “completely unacceptable.”

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
“I completely understand the incomprehension and even anger of many Canadians regarding this news from Air Canada,” Trudeau said in French during Question Period on Wednesday.

theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Trudeau’s comments followed a report from @davidmilstead that Air Canada paid $10-million in “COVID-19 Pandemic Mitigation Bonuses” to executives and managers earlier this year, while it was negotiating a bailout.

Ontario’s latest #COVID19 epidemiological report has some experts saying the province should be prepared for the rise of a more tenacious version of the coronavirus, even as more people are vaccinated.

tgam.ca/variant
The report shows a dip in prevalence of known variants of concern, but a possible suggestion is that they’re being outcompeted by a more transmissible variant that tests haven’t directly identified.

tgam.ca/variant
The obvious candidate is the B.1.617.2, a sub-branch previously associated with India.
