This article investigates how transnational familial links and socio-cultural dynamics shape migrants' remitting behavior and inform their relationships. It shows that most research on remittances fails to capture migrants' personal and social significance of remittances embedded not only in their transnational social relations, but also in cultural contexts. Drawing on new empirical qualitative research amongst Congolese migrants in South Africa, the article argues that migrants remit primarily in a bid to escape social death by fostering familial belonging and sustaining social status. It finds that socio-cultural influences and internalized social stereotypes about economic effects of emigration shape migrants' awareness of their role expectations in communities of origin. These role...
By Beth Wall All too often when we think of Home Children we automatically think of the Barnardo children. however, there were many other organizations The emigration schemes brought more than 100,000 children to Canada from Great Britain between 1869 and the early 1930s. Because many of the stories of these children emigrants are horrific, we don't find them being published everywhere. The list shows the author, name of the book, publisher and date of publication.

Yes, there were outrages in the 19th century that serve to bolster their claim, but to equate the "highland clearances" to Stalinist ethnic cleansing and Nazi atrocities, she writes, is a "travesty of what actually happened. What is true, as [Lucille Campey] shows, is that many emigrants left Scotland with heavy hearts; however, as John Hart wrote, in 1842, "it was a land that denied me bread and forced me to leave it for another." One of the few lords who had any real concern for Scotland's impoverished masses was Lord Selkirk. In her chapter on Scottish emigration to Western Canada, Campey succinctly tells the story of the Selkirk settlers, the fur trade wars and the growth of Winnipeg up to the Red River Rebellion.
I am pleased to learn about the WinSmart projects to improve air quality, boost transit ridership and build bike paths: laudable goals all three. Unfortunately, while most of the eight projects announced have some bearing on these three areas, the second-largest amount is earmarked for putting GPS systems in the buses and electronic signs at a few stops. It's predictable that this measure will have no impact on ridership. On the same topic, I could save the city $330,000 for the marketing campaign to find out why people don't take the bus or bike: People won't use a bike if it means competing with motor vehicles on busy roads, such as Pembina Highway; and people won't take transit if the service is infrequent and competing with cars on congested streets. Carson Jerema's criticism of th...

Radio-telemetry studies confirm that the west Hudson Bay polar bear population is sedentary. There is very little exchange with other polar bear populations. Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources biologist Martin Obbard confirmed that there is no evidence of any significant emigration of the polar bears of the western Hudson Bay population to areas where habitat conditions are better. Their fidelity to the local area is so strong that pioneering to other areas is very uncommon, he says. That means that the observed decline in the local bear population is not due to emigration to somewhere else. It is due to actual losses of significant numbers of bears. The researchers say that the western Hudson Bay polar bears will be among the first to show population level effects of global warming,...
