A year from ‘hell’: Why one temporary foreign worker decided to call it quits on Canada
Quebec City - QC - Canada - 20241114 - Portrait, in Quebec city, of Hichem Nasri, a 29-year-old immigrant from Tunisia, who calls his year-long experience navigating the Canadian workforce as a temporary foreign worker “a hell I don’t want to ever go through again”. In his brief time in Canada — 14 months to be exact — he held four different jobs as a cleaner at a transportation company, a refinery, a bank and a Canadian Tire store. At most of those jobs he says, he faced tough work conditions: wages not paid on time, verbal abuse, racism, and injuries on the job. Photo: Renaud Philippe / The Globe and Mail

Finland finds drag marks on the bottom of the Baltic Sea after cable damage
This undated handout photo obtained from the Finnish police (Poliisi) on December 29, 2024 shows a robotic ROV (Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle) used for underwater investigation off Porvoo (Borga), Gulf of Finland, as Finnish authorities have been investigating the Eagle S oil tanker that sailed from a Russian port over suspected "sabotage". A probe of the sabotaged Baltic Sea power cable has uncovered a drag trail stretching dozens of kilometres on the seabed, Finnish police said on December 29. On Christmas Day, the Estlink 2 submarine cable that carries electricity from Finland to Estonia was disconnected from the grid, just over a month after two telecommunications cables were severed in Swedish territorial waters in the Baltic. The cable's disconnection was the latest in a spate of incidents Western officials believe are acts of sabotage linked to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
