criticized in polls

The various polling institutes in Brazil have been widely criticized for not having anticipated the high score of the incumbent President, to whom they attributed a maximum score of 37%, in the first ballot. Thus, the last Datafolha poll, released on the eve of the first round, awarded 50% of the votes cast (excluding zero and white) to Lula versus 36% to Jair Bolsonaro. Another poll released by another institute, Ipec, also gave Lula 51% of valid votes versus 37% to Bolsonaro ahead of the first round last Sunday.

On Wednesday, the same institute predicted a 55% win for Lula in the second round versus 45% for Bolsonaro. “We defeated the lies in the polls,” the right-wing extremist president rejoiced on the evening of the first ballot. Jair Bolsonaro, who has been losing in the polls for several months, continues to say they are “lies”. The Datafolha poll, released Friday, was conducted among 2,884 voters Wednesday through Friday. The second round promises to be close in this extremely polarized election and the two candidates have been seeking support for the past few days.

“It came to pick me up because my great-grandparents were arriving from Italy and Lithuania,” confides Normand Cesare, President of Management and Construction Blueprint, with emotion to the journal, which was founded six years ago.

“My mother raised six boys on her own. We learned that young. Christmas baskets, we had some. Today we give something back,” continues the dedicated entrepreneur from Marieville in Montérégie.

In several regions of Quebec

With his partner Patrice Bastien, he is preparing the construction of hundreds of temporary foreign worker (TFW) units in Quebec.

Shawinigan (120), La Sarre and Notre-Dame-du-Nord (48 each), Buckland (96) and the MRC of Montmagny (72) are among the communities where the homes will be built.

“It will be new buildings, clean, energy efficient, fully furnished. That extends to utensils and placemats,” says Patrice Bastien.

“We are working on two bottlenecks at the same time: labor and living space,” summarizes the volunteer entrepreneur in his area.

100,000 apartments are missing

According to the Association of Construction and Housing Professionals of Quebec (APCHQ), Quebec is still missing a good 100,000 housing units.

Maxime Rodrigue, its chief executive, congratulated the newly re-elected Legault government and did not fail to remind him of the urgency of “serious politics”.

“We have no choice. We heard from employers who were buying single-family homes to convert into units for temporary foreign workers,” said economics director Paul Cardinal.

We must move for Robert Stead, President of Association Aide à l’immigration Canada, a non-profit organization that came up with the idea of ​​these units.

“We have 91 people who have a permit but cannot land for lack of accommodation,” regrets the man at the head of around thirty employees.

No ghetto

In the Journal, Robert Stead insists: “Creating ghettos” is out of the question for him, so he refuses to bring people from the same country together.

“We mix. For example, four Colombians, four Tunisians, four Chinese, four Thais and four Quebecers to help them integrate,” he explains.

“We don’t want to create ghettos,” he concludes.

Overall, the Immigration Assistance Canada Association plans to build more than 2,500 additional housing units next year.

The family earthquake in the Danish royal family could be coming to an end after Queen Margaret decided to strip four of her grandsons, Nicolas, 23, of the title of prince; Felix, 20; Henry, 13; and Athena, 10, children of the two marriages of Prince Joaquín of Denmark, the youngest of the monarch’s two children.

The latter has decided to take the step forward and meet with Queen Margaret, her mother, at Fredensborg Palace, the royal family’s residence, over the summer to try to bring positions closer together and rough edges after the monarch’s decision to flatten down the Danish royal family. “Yes, it is true that the Queen and Prince Joachim spoke in Fredensborg. Everyone agrees to look ahead and as the Queen herself said, in this situation she and Prince Joachim want to be calm in order to move forward,” Royal Press Secretary Lene Balleby told Danish newspaper BT.

More information

This meeting between mother and son, which according to the Danish press took place alone, without the presence of Prince Frederick (eldest son and heir to the throne), comes after 10 days Margaret of Denmark – the only female monarch in Europe, with the longest reign on the continent following the recent death of Elizabeth II – decided to strip four of her eight grandchildren of the title. “Her Majesty the Queen’s decision is intended to provide a framework for her four grandchildren to live their own lives without being constrained by the special considerations and obligations that formal royal affiliation as an institution entails,” said the Queen Note published by the Danish royal family via their social networks.

This decision by the monarch, which means that Prince Joaquín’s four children will no longer have the distinction from January 1, 2023, although they will retain the positions they occupy in the line of succession, came as a blow to his father. Joaquin from Denmark publicly reacted to his mother’s decision in the Danish medium Ekstra Bladet: “We are all very sad. It’s never nice to see your kids being abused like that.”

In light of those words, and five days after her decision, Margaret of Denmark “as a mother” apologized for taking the titles from her grandchildren. In the statement, the Queen regretted the reaction of her youngest son, Prince Joachim, to her decision to strip her offspring of the title of Prince and Princess, although she remains firm. “I made my decision as a queen, mother and grandmother, but as a mother and grandmother I underestimated the extent to which my youngest son and his family would be affected. It made a big impression on me and I’m sorry,” the Danish monarch said in a statement published on her social networks.

This isn’t the Danish royal family’s first cut. In 2016 he announced that only the direct heir to the throne, the firstborn of Princes Federico and Mary, Christian, would benefit from his position with a salary from the state, while his younger siblings Isabela, Vicente and Josefina would have to benefit themselves despite their status as Princes and later brothers of the future king are looking for their own source of income.
