Here’s what we’re reading today.
1. Government says it’s solved 18 long term water advisories on Canadian reserves
“The federal government has launched a new action plan to bring clean drinking water to all First Nation communities by 2021, and the ministers responsible say they are on track to meet that goal.”
2. ‘Knees together’ judge says he will resign
“The move came after the Canadian Judicial Council recommended Thursday that Justice Robin Camp be removed from the bench, calling his conduct ‘manifestly and profoundly destructive’ to the impartiality and integrity of the judiciary.”
3. Canada to make skilled-worker permits easier to get in wake of U.S. delays
“Both the government and Canadian technology companies are heralding it as an opportunity to accelerate innovation and make the country more globally competitive, in turn spurring economic development to create more jobs for Canadians.”
4. The suburbs as we know them are dying
“People in US suburbs are changing the way they shop, where they eat, and what they want in their homes.
“Malls are shutting down as e-commerce continues to take over, and the casual-dining chains that fed shoppers after a day of hoofing it through the mall are struggling to cope.”
5. 25 songs that tell us where music is going
“This is what we talk about now, the music-makers and the music-listeners both. Not the fine details of genre and style — everyone, allegedly, listens to everything now — but the networks of identity that float within them. Maybe decades ago you could aim your songs at a mass market, but music does not really have one of those anymore. Artists have to figure out whom they’re speaking to and where they’re speaking from. The rest of us do the same. For better or worse, it’s all identity now.”
