Why The Police Can't Trust The Police

Chris Hobbs

A course of events that has police chiefs and government ministers cursing a lowly police constable on a day in which they should have been bathing in the reflected glory of reduced crime figures is an event which probably won’t be repeated. The Metropolitan Police are clearly determined to crush whistleblower James Patrick in a way that serves as an example to other ‘junior’officers who might be tempted to break ranks and reveal malpractice within the Met.

Terrorism and Immigration (Part 2)

In reaction to the extensive range of major difficulties faced by Newcomers to Canada as mentioned above, the Canadian government has taken a number of steps designed to rectify the situation (9): One of those is the establishment of the Credential Recognition Program (implemented by Human Resources and Social Development Canada-HRSDC), which targets certain regulated and unregulated professions. This program funds the Canadian Immigration Integration Project, which aims at informing prospective Newcomers of life and work in Canada. This project is run by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Association of Canadian Community Colleges. However, it is currently held only in New Delhi (India), Manila (the Philippines), and Guangzhou (China). Another is the Going-to-Canada Portal, which, among other things, provides prospective Newcomers with information regarding demand in Canada for their occupation and whether their occupation is regulated, as well as giving labour market information (salaries, job descriptions, skills needed, and future prospects). This portal was created by HRSDC and CIC. A third step taken by the Canadian government is the Foreign Credentials Referral Office, which provides referral services, in addition to labour market information, job search, and how to have one’s credentials translated.
