      Indian students face problem of unemployment in Canada; dearth of job opportunities reported in Greater Toronto Area

In a rare comment about the personal abuse she faces from the left, Ms Braverman said she is personally subject to “grotesque slurs” for saying “simple truths” about the impact of unlimited and illegal immigration. She said: “The worst among them, poisoned by the extreme ideology of identity politics, is that a person’s skin colour should affect their political views. “I will not be hectored by out-of-touch lefties, or anyone for that matter. “I won’t be patronised on what appropriate views for someone of my…
