Ontario's racialized gap
persists: Study
Race, gender a barrier in the
workforce
TORONTO, June 3 /CNW/ -
Ontarians from racialized
backgrounds are far more likely
to live in poverty, face
barriers to finding a job, and
receive less pay for work, says
a study of Census data by the
Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives (CCPA).
Canada's population was
estimated at 33,930,800 as
of January 1, 2010, an increase
of 57,500 or 0.17% from the
level at October 1, 2009.
Population growth remains
fastest in Western Canada, with
all provinces in the region
recording percentage increases
above the national level.

It was news, not so long ago, that the Harper
Government has rolled out a program to fight
depression (and not the Taliban!) in the civil
services. It made me think: Why only the civil
services, and not the public at large?
Depression, Stress, Burnout. All these maladies are
minor or major branches of mental illness. Among the
public, the most common are Burnout, and Stress,
particularly job-related.
Most of America's Fortune 500 companies now have
stress management programs. Even in India, big
corporations are looking in this direction.

Nairobi — Uganda could see its first nuclear power

But development partners aside, early indications

to bridge the wide gulf that separates them from the
school of thought that placed priority on hydro

From:

What exactly drove 27-year old Nadia Torrado to take
the extreme step of consuming Ratol leading to her
death in a Chennai hospital two days ago? Ask South
Goa Superintendent of Police, Allan De Sa and he

mystery behind the death. “The police had registered
a case against the woman for attempt to commit
suicide. But, since she has died, the attempt to
suicide case has been closed. We are now

From:

Chief Minister Digambar Kamat today said that a
full-fledged Statehood bewtowed on Goa 23 years ago
has given the people a distinct identity and freedom
to make laws for the betterment of the State and the
people. Greeting the people on the 23rd anniversary
of Goa Statehood, Kamat said though Union Territory
had its own merits and demerits, a full-fledged
Statehood has given us power to legislate for the
good of the people at all levels. I has also marked
a logical completion of the process of freedom --

Liberation of Goa on December 19, 1961. [H]

the Chief Minister Mr Digambar Kamat has called for
installation of electronic gadgets like closed

the work done by the government employees, and also
to curb various other illegalities that take place

first edition of Goa Vacancy and Tender Bulletin, Mr
Kamat, who was impressed by the performance of the

Yet again, Varca strongman Churchill Alemao found
himself at the receiving end of criticism, albeit in
absentia, as villagers from his own stronghold,
Navelim, gave vent to their feelings at yesterday's
Gram Sabha. The gram sabha was marked partly, but
notably, by the public outburst against him for his
alleged foul name calling and labeling Goans as
'squealing pigs'. Many of those present were visibly
peeved over Churchill's remarks, exemplified by the
overwhelming ovation received by some villagers when
they raised the issue. [GT]
Hello
and welcome to the new support group that we have
just set up!
It’s going to be known as Friends of Goa. As Goa
Heritage Action Group our mandate allows us to work
towards saving Goa’s heritage (natural, cultural and
built) and although we would all love to set things
right, we can only do things “one day at a time”. So
please bear with us! Let us take up heritage
protection that needs attention desperately at the
moment.
For instance, outside of Conservation Zones in
Panaji and Madgaon there are absolutely no rules and
regulations to protect the heritage buildings,
properties, sites and monuments of Goa! We are
fighting with the Government for framing heritage
regulations at the moment that is our prime concern.

Study finds seniors with depressive symptoms have

: May 20, 2010 - More than two in five (44%) Canadian
seniors living in residential care homes are
diagnosed with or have symptoms of depression,
according to a new study released today by the
Canadian Institute for Health Information
(CIHI).
Heart attacks more likely among lower-income groups,
but quality of care about the same for all Canadians
Variations in heart attack and hysterectomy rates
much greater by region than by socio-economic status
OTTAWA, May 27 /CNW Telbec/ - Canadians living in
the least-affluent neighbourhoods are more likely to
have a heart attack than those in more-affluent
areas, according to a new report released today by
the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
Canadians living in low-income neighbourhoods have
higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, smoking and
other cardiac risk factors. However, heart attack
patients receive about the same quality of care
across the country, regardless of their
socio-economic status.
