ngl, outside of economist, these suggestions look pretty boring, but i kinda just read online for financial stuff anyway
Theres nothing much out here and the only black folks I find are talking bout pretty much the same stupid KekePalmer-ass topics I see here or would see on Twitter.
In my school, no it isn't. The majority of students are from Turkey, Latin American, and East Africa, with a recent surge of Ukrainians. Depending on the location of a school obviously that would be different. I am sure in Brampton, you probably have many of that demographic attending the Hindu community schools.
In Toronto overall, the YMCA's data shows that for language classes the top countries for 2022-2023 were Ukraine, Turkey, Afghanistan, and China.
Obviously, the country of origin of students in language classes may not be indicative of the overall trends in the city or country regarding immigration.
Working in that setting, some of the processes that are in place are questionable. For example, to be eligible to take the citizenship exam a student only needs to have a language score in listening and speaking that is that of a high beginner. so very very simple sentences. However, it doesn't require anything of their reading score, despite the test being a reading test. Then they also allow people to complete the test online. Yes, they need to have a webcam on, but obviously it would be very easy to just duplicate the screen on two devices and have a relative feed me the answers as they do the test with me.
My students are great, I just feel like the way Canada is being presented to these newcomers is not representative of reality. They come here looking for a better life, but are not prepared for the cost of living. I met some young guys from Ethiopia last week while I had my students outside of the classroom that were refugees and only had temporary housing for a short time, there were living in a local park on the benches and had no information about any local agencies outside of the Ethiopian agency they were working with.

very true. Some of the festivals be like that tho too. Lotta hoes but also a lot of kids
I've always wondered if/when black restaurants could make more block parties in the summertime or a food truck festival or sum out east. Diners Corner, Leela's Roti, Roywoods etc. all in one spot?
