Historically, Chinese communities were referred often as the "Yellow Peril," comparing the presence of Chinese people to that of the plague. Chinese settlements and expansions were regarded with the same hysteria as an infectious disease spreading across Canada. A Commissioner reported to the House of Commons in 1885 that Vancouver's Chinatown was an "ulcer," "lodged like a piece of wood in the tissues of the human body, which unless treated must cause disease in the places around it and ultimately the whole body" (Anderson, p. 81).' In this statement, the city stands in as an allegory for the human body while Chinatown is the disease, the foreign substance threatening to engulf and destroy the whole body. Governmental officials and newspapers often mentioned disease and filth when refe...

Some activity suggests there is indeed a new engagement. In July, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton signed ASEAN's Treaty of Amity and Cooperation. The 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations had been largely ignored by [George W. Bush]. This weekend [Obama] will meet ASEAN's leaders as a group, which is a first. His administration reached out to the thuggish junta in Myanmar, reversing a policy of isolation, and on Nov. 10 said Obama's special envoy to North Korea would go to Pyongyang for talks with the obstreperous nuclear state (after close consultation with South Korea and Japan first). The president has taken pains to define China as a "strategic partner," one without whom the U.S. has little hope of tackling everything from the global economic crisis to climate cha...

[Tim Foggin] isn't the only one sounding the alarm. Says Dr. Allison McGeer, an infectious disease consultant at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto: "There will be another pandemic," she said in an article in Faith Today, published by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada. "It's 100 per cent sure. How would a flu pandemic affect Canadians? The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that between 2.1 million to five million people would get sick, and that between 11,000 to 58,000 could die. Here in Manitoba, it's estimated that over 400,000 people would fall ill, with between 4,100 and 6,100 potential deaths. That pales in comparison to the southeast Asian tsunami, but unlike that disaster there won't be help from the outside pouring in to help victims. "A pandemic will affect every countr...

Common elements that describe "the family" that are found across classes, cultures, and genders in Singapore include the "family as basic social unit" carrying connotations of "stability", "mutual support", "haven" and "warmth". The country's Muslim population, however, tends to have larger families because children are perceived as gifts from God. The Muslim population has the highest average number of children, at 3.1, as compared to the Chinese average of 2.5 and the Indian average of 2.4 (Census of Population 2000). In contrast, the Chinese and Indian populations tend to be more skeptical about family life. In response to the question of "what is the family," Sue, a 49-year-old working class Chinese mother, shrugged and answered "the usual ... you know what I mean ..." indicating a ...

Human trafficking is a global human rights issue that has profound and tragic repercussions for millions of women and children every year. In North America, Canada is currently a destination for victims of trafficking, and a transit route into the United States. Traffickers have exploited the open border between the United States and Canada to perpetuate a modern form of slavery that forces oppressed women and children into forced labour and/or prostitution. Currently, Canada has no formal policy or program to provide protection, assistance, and services to victims. A multidimensional approach to combating human trafficking is necessary in Canada, with legislation that provides protection to victims escaping the web of trafficking.
