Vimy 100 event had a ticket problem — identical barcodes
If you’re going to screen visitors at a high security Canada 150 event, it’s probably not a good idea to give identically coded entry tickets to 25,000 people.
Last April, Veterans Affairs Canada hosted thousands of mostly Canadian visitors to Vimy 100 in France, marking the centennial of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
Travellers got e-tickets in Canada with personal information such as their name, place of birth and date of birth. There was a bacode to be scanned for entry to Vimy.

'Into the abyss': Immigration lawyers baffled over why spousal sponsorship applications sent back
Local immigration lawyers say they are frustrated and puzzled after application packages for spousal sponsorship permanent residency have been sent back with little explanation.
The federal government has made family reunification a priority. It created a “triage” processing system which came into effect in December 2016 to reduce wait times and said it was committed to processing 80 per cent of the applications it received as of Dec. 7, 2016, by the end of December 2017.

Kinsinger: Jobs grant policy will exclude many religious groups
There was a collective sigh of relief across the country last May after Kellie Leitch was eliminated from the federal Conservative leadership race.

Gilbert: Student jobs grant program respects Charter rights
The federal government’s decision to require a commitment to human rights in its Canada Student Job (CSJ) grants represents a bold move to advance equality.

Orchard: How the Americans could save us from ourselves on free trade
In 1854, the Canadian colonies entered a free trade agreement with the United States. In 1866, the Americans cancelled it, believing that the Canadian colonies had become so dependent on the U.S. economically that they would ask, or beg, for entry into the American Union.
Instead, the Canadians decided to take the bold step of independence. They negotiated a union of the Canadian colonies and began building a Canadian-owned and controlled economy, including the world’s longest railwa -

Canadian Army keeps option open to order more TAPVs
Several days ago I had an update on the Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle (TAPV) project. Deliveries are continuing to Canadian Army units and a number of TAPVs will be set aside for reserve force training.
The TAPV project, announced in July 2009, will procure 500 vehicles to fulfill a variety of roles on the battlefield. An option for up to an additional 100 vehicles is included in the contract.
There were some suggestions that option was completely off the table because of tight funding.
