最近的美國不平靜⋯⋯
因為一位執法過當的白人警察,
非裔美籍的George Floyd在不斷哀求”I Can’t Breathe!”之中斷氣過世。
全美各州陸續出現抗議、衝突、暴動、甚至劫掠,
美國的政治情勢也因此有所改變。
各方針對該警官的行為嚴加譴責,
Nike罕見把自家的標語”Just do it!”改成”Don’t do it!”,
連對手Adidas也分享認同,
迪士尼發文呼籲抵制種族歧視(racism),
TED talk及其他有影響力的媒體均團結立場,
捐款、簽名請願活動開始發起,
昨天世界各地也發起 #blackouttuesday 。

canada job demand 在 堅離地城:沈旭暉國際生活台 Simon's Glos World Facebook 的精選貼文
🇬🇧🇨🇦 英美廢青。
//OTTAWA – A British and American couple, both unemployed, are seeking to emigrate to Canada despite having no real skills to offer the country, early reports indicate.
British and American media have said that an American actor and her husband have the intention of living in the country on a semi-permanent or permanent basis.
The actor has found some previous work in Toronto which may help her immigration and work permit applications although Citizenship and Immigration Canada has not identified acting as an in-demand trade.
“She has to obtain the proper paperwork indicating that she has a job,” said an Immigration Canada official. “We need references and a criminal record check before her application can move forward, but she hasn’t even been nominated for a single Golden Globe yet.”
‘Being famous’ was not considered a skill in demand unlike a doctor, nurse, engineer, or general labourer. The husband’s application scored 0 out of 70 points on his Canadian work experience despite claiming ‘waving’ and ‘talking’ during his most recent visits to Canada.
The move will also cost Canadians millions in policing and security costs with round-the-clock monitoring.//
