canada deporting
ottawa, canada - immigration minister monte solberg says he hopes to "put things in perspective" for portuguese officials over the deportation of portuguese nationals from canada.
solberg and foreign affairs minister peter mackay are to meet portugal's foreign minister in ottawa.

canada has deported two dozen portuguese nationals from the toronto area in the last few days.
dozens more are reportedly being given notices of deportation over the next two weeks.

solberg says the numbers of portuguese the conservative government has removed pale in comparison to the roughly 700 the former liberal government had deported in the past three years.

macKay says the government isn't treating the portuguese any differently than people from other countries.
he says he's meeting with the portuguese minister out of courtesy.

the toronto district school board had
a ‘zero tolerance’ policy regarding violence on its campuses, and when it was passed in the year 2000, principals were given the right to suspend or even expel students.
but a complaint to the ontario human rights commission
that the rules were discriminating against minorities forced the board to change the tone and agree to try and find alternatives like detentions before resorting to suspensions.
experts are becoming increasingly alarmed by the violence permeating too many schools. they believe action needs to be taken now before things spiral even further out of control.
students remain on edge after an incident that saw two of their own stabbed by young intruders 24 hours earlier.
those who attend classes at the school simply can’t believe so much blood was spilled on their campus.

“to stop that kind of carnage going on, we need early intervention, we need early prevention. and the earlier the better," suggests stu auty of the canadian safe school network.

"you know, kids that are out there stabbing other kids when there's a conflict are kids that don't have a sound value system. they don't appear to know the difference between right and wrong.”

neither of the suspects is believed to be a student at the school.
campus violence has raised concerns across the g.t.a.
