☆ Manitoba's Kinew seeks to oust government, become Canada's only First Nations premier
  + stars: | 2023-09-29 | by ( Rod Nickel | Thomson Reuters | Covers Energy | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Manitoba had a Metis premier in the late 1800s and the Nunavut territory currently has an Inuk premier. Kinew, 41 and a former television journalist, would be the first Canadian premier who identifies as First Nations. The Conservatives, currently led by Manitoba's first female premier, Heather Stefanson, 53, have ruled the western farming, mining and manufacturing province since 2016. Manitoba's legislature has 57 seats and a party needs to win 29 to win a majority and govern without another party's support.

☆ Canada shut its land border to asylum seekers. More refugees came anyway

But five months later, the overall number of people filing refugee claims in Canada has risen instead of falling. But it has sought to discourage those applying for asylum, chiefly through an agreement with the U.S. under which each country turns back asylum seekers. Asylum seekers are drawn by Canada's reputation for swifter processing and greater acceptance of asylum applications compared to the U.S. But overall, the number of asylum seekers entering Canada has surged. People applying at airports comprised about a third of all refugee claims made in July, up from about 16% in March.
