Roxham Road is just a small piece of a global migration crisis

1 month ago CBC

It took an American to impose some perspective this week on the Canadian political debate about Roxham Road. Since Roxham Road is not an official crossing, it is effectively a "loophole" in the STCA. When politicians talk about "closing" Roxham Road, they likely imagine that the United States could be convinced to extend the STCA's prohibition to the entire land border — or at least to Roxham Road. This isn't just Canada's problemIt's at least fair to say that Roxham Road isn't a particularly unique situation.

Schwarber, Segura lift Phillies over Padres for 2-1 NLCS lead

The Phillies can take solace they survived the Padres without playing their best baseball. Segura and Rhys Hoskins also made costly errors that made the game closer than it ever needed to be. Musgrove threw 22 pitches without an out, then needed only pitches two pitches to get three outs. But hey, this is what makes baseball so great — it was Suarez who mowed down the Padres in rapid succession. Segura threw his bat and redeemed himself when he lofted a two-run single to right in the fourth for a 3-1 lead.

Sudbury author Nina Nesseth fueled by fear in latest book

Sudbury author Nina Nesseth says she's always been fascinated by fear. For example, Nesseth researched the excitation transfer theory, and how it applies to a crowded movie theatre. "If you think about that adrenaline rush, that's a form of arousal, it's an excitation," Nesseth said. Nina Nesseth, author of Nightmare Fuel, digs into the research about why we, as humans, are drawn to scary stuff. (Ninanesseth.com)"That's what excitation transfer theory is, that your excitation response to one stimulus can be amplified or can amplify your response to something else."

Russian warplane slams into residential building on its own soil — for 2nd time in a week

Moncton told inclusionary zoning won't be affordable housing 'silver bullet'

It would allow the municipality to require new high-density residential developments to include some affordable housing. A staff report says the approach isn't the "silver bullet" fix to the affordable housing issue in Moncton." Josh Adams, a senior planner with the City of Moncton, says the study found inclusionary zoning may not be the solution the city had hoped would boost affordable housing. "As a result, inclusionary zoning policies may yield weak and/or negative results if they were to be implemented under the current context." "It is possible that under this current context, [inclusionary zoning] could potentially reduce the volume of market rental housing development."
