South China Sea, after Ottawa rebuked Beijing for what it described as a second risky midair intercept in two weeks. Canada's Defence Minister Bill Blair said Friday that a Chinese fighter jet twice flew close to a Canadian Cyclone helicopter over the Paracel Islands on October 29, firing flares «directly in front» of the craft on the second flyby. The jet's actions «were deemed to be significantly unsafe», Blair said of the incident, which followed a similar near-miss over another disputed waterway near China in mid-October. Beijing hit back at Blair's claims on Saturday, with a defence ministry spokesperson saying the Canadian helicopter conducted «a malicious and provocative act with ulterior motives». «Recently, ship-borne helicopters on Canada's HMCS Ottawa made two sorties towards the airspace around China's Xisha Islands, with unknown intentions,» Zhang Xiaogang said in an online statement, using the Chinese name for the Paracels. «China's People's Liberation Army organised naval and air forces to identify and verify (the craft) in accordance with the law, and issued multiple warnings,» Zhang said. «However, the Canadian helicopter not only refused to respond, but also took provocative actions such as flying at ultra-low altitudes,» he added. «Afterwards, (Canada) wantonly hyped the event and made accusations and smears against China in the media,» Zhang claimed. «Canada's actions violated China's domestic laws and international law, endangered China's sovereignty and security,» he said. «We urge the Canadian side… to strictly curb the actions of frontline sea and air forces to prevent accidents at sea and in the air.» The HMCS Ottawa was transiting the South China Sea as part of attempts by the United

Canada is required by law to release immigration targets for how many permanent residents it aims to welcome to the country by November 1 each year (there is an exception for election years). The latest release continues the trend of outlining the numbers of permanent residents projected over the next three years allocated according to 4 broad categories with sub-targets for each: economic, family, refugee and humanitarian. The overall target for 2024 and 2025 will remain as indicated in last year’s 3 year levels plan: 485,000, then 500,000. However, the target will not increase for 2026 but will remain flat at 500,000. Think you check all the immigration boxes? Find out It is important to note that these targets do not relate strictly to newcomers. The Immigration Minister noted that 35% of the next year’s permanent residents are already in Canada. Thus, while there is a housing crisis in Canada, 35% of 485,000 targeted for next year are already being housed. Also, the targets relate only to permanent residents and do not cover the 2.2 million people in Canada who are visiting, studying or working in temporary status. There are no caps on visitors, workers or students and Canada is on track to bring in 900,000 international students alone next year. While the Immigration Minister has been quite clear that newcomers are needed to address labour shortages, he also seems to be recognizing that public support for immigration has plummeted given many have been blaming newcomers for the housing shortage. This is unfortunate given governments have long failed to address housing issues before the more recent increases in temporary and permanent residents.
