Abstract:

This article is a collaborative undertaking on Filipino Bilingual education. We argue that Filipino Bilingual education is a counternarrative technology to white settler narratives in the diaspora. We unpack an understanding of technology that is defined as an embodied skill within the racialized processes that have advanced Eurocentrism in western pedagogy. Through heritage language learning, we argue that the continued use and teaching of the Filipino language in Canada interrogates the hegemonic myth that Canada is founded exclusively by two European nations, the English and the French. As such, we think alongside Canadian scholar Marshall McLuhan and his “medium is the message” to argue that heritage language instruction is a technology or skill that forms an “extension of man” who is also plurilingual and racialized. In Winnipeg, where Filipinos comprise the largest immigrant community in the city, the extension of the Filipino language as an official medium of instruction represents opportunities for intergenerational learning, cultural portals, and healing of the colonized psyche.

Abstract:

In this paper two gaps in North American immigrant homeownership research are addressed. The first concerns the lack of studies (especially in Canada) that identify changes in homeownership rates by skin color over time, and the second relates to the shortage of comparative research between Canada and the United States on this topic. In this paper the homeownership levels and attainment rates of Black, Chinese, Filipino, White, and South Asian immigrants are compared in Canada and the United States for 1970/1971–2000/2001. For the most part, greater similarities than differences are found between the two countries. Both Canadian and U.S. Chinese and White immigrants have the highest adjusted homeownership rates of all groups, at times even exceeding comparably positioned native-born households. Black immigrants, on the other hand, tend to have the lowest ownership rates of all groups, particularly in the United States, with Filipinos and South Asians situated between these extremes. Most of these differences stem from disparities that exist at arrival, however, and not from differential advancement into homeownership.

Abstract:

This research study was intended to examine the effect of national culture and leadership styles of Filipino- Canadian Engineers based on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. The purpose of this academic research is to find a leadership program that will bridge the gap of underrepresentation among the Filipino Canadian Engineers and Project Managers in Canada. The respondents of this research study are the internationally trained Filipino Engineers who are members of the Association of Filipino Canadian Engineers (AFCE). This researcher used a combination of self- made and standardized Survey Questionnaires published on Google Forms, as well as face to face interviews where permitted. The questionnaires were sent via email or social media platforms such as Messenger and LinkedIn. The data collected were then tallied, analyzed, interpreted and summarized using statistical treatment such as Mean, Pearson r correlation, Standard Deviation and Frequency. The study revealed that Filipinos has assimilated well to the Canadian Society in terms of cultural dimensions with the exemption of Collectivism. This research study also found out that there are leadership traits or skills that need to be tweaked in order for the Filipino Canadian Engineers to be a productive part of Engineering and Construction industry. This researcher identified workshops including Assertiveness training, Critical and creative thinking, Emotional Intelligence, Intercultural and interpersonal communication, and public speaking shall be introduced.

Abstract:

Background This analysis compares the educational attainments of the “new” second generation in Britain, Canada, and the United States using three nationally representative datasets. Objective To assess how the second generation has fared within Western educational systems. The study examines the achievements of seven minority ethnic groups: Africans, Caribbeans, Chinese, Filipinos, Indians, Irish, and Pakistanis. Setting Britain, Canada, and the United States. Research Design Secondary data analysis Conclusions The study suggests that there is a strong association between the educational level of the parental generation and that of the second generation. There is substantial inter-generational progress (measured relative to the majority population in the country of destination), especially among women. Most groups perform as well as or better than members of the majority population of the same age and similar parental background. Chinese of both sexes are notable for their high performance. Indians also tend to make strong intergenerational progress; for Caribbeans, Africans, and Filipinos, this is more muted. The performance of the second generation in Britain is slightly poorer than that in the other countries. This is probably explained by the lower selectivity of the first generation in Britain rather than by institutional features.

Abstract:

Abstract Using the 2002 Ethnic Diversity Survey, this article examines the ethnic differences in university education attainment among the children of immigrants in Canada. We found that most groups achieve clear upward mobility across generations, while Blacks and Filipinos show signs of stagnation. Asians (with the exception of Filipinos) attain higher academic achievements than most groups of European origins even when accounting for group variations in family background, and social and ethnic capital. Parental education was important in explaining the relatively low university completion rates among the second generation Portuguese and Italians. Rural residence of the father’s generation was an important factor for the second generation Dutch and German youth, reflecting the different settlement patterns of these various groups. Our findings suggest that race/ethnicity has become a salient factor in educational stratification. Keywords: ethnicity, mobility, education, second generation, immigrants

Abstract:

The preservation of ethnic identity in a host society requires the ability of an individual to manage a balance between the need to adapt and the desire to remain connected to one's roots. Thus, this article investigates how the Kapampangans, one of the major ethnic groups in the Philippines, imagine and preserve their culture and ethnic identities in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Five (5) Kapampangan participants were identified through the snowball technique. It was found that the Canadian government supports individuals in preserving their culture and identity through programs, activities, and communities. Kapampangans utilize their native language, provide Kapampangan cuisine, and revive the Kapampangan spirit through festivities and gatherings to maintain their ethnic identity. These individuals acknowledged that maintaining one's identity in a foreign country like Canada depends upon how strongly one wishes to uphold his culture and tradition. This study offers valuable insights for Filipinos, Kapampangans, scholars, and other countries with an increasing number of such ethnic immigrants. This may also impart knowledge for migration studies and other related courses.

Abstract:

This paper considers how notions of beauty and performances at pageants transform as they move across different colonial times and spaces. It examines how gender, racial, and sexual subjectivities take shape among cisgender Filipina women who participate and organize community-based pageants on the traditional and ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Skxwú7mesh, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples (Vancouver, Canada). I analyze observations and interviews conducted with Filipina/os who organize and participate in community pageants. Based on this examination, I argue that spatial processes make apparent the shifting nature of gendered, racialized, and sexualized pageant performances. Pageant ideals change with migration as white heteropatriarchal logics, which are enmeshed in settler colonial projects of Canada, make grooves into the ways Filipino gendered sexualities come to be in Canada. More broadly, the paper speaks to the ways in which power works with and through space through the logics of race, gender, and sexuality. It outlines how racialized women’s feminine heterosexuality is made legible by liberal scripts designed for immigrants in the white settler colonial context of Canada. Thus, the paper sets in motion questions of how intersections of power are shaped by contemporary forms of colonialism.

Abstract:

In Canada, there is a dearth of comprehensive literature on the specific needs for the health and well-being of racialized newcomers, especially for mental health in the rapidly growing Filipino-Canadian diaspora. Using two focus groups with 14 participants, this article identified the following themes: Filipino-Canadian men’s conceptualization of mental illness, health, and stigma; gender and intergenerational expectations as a form of mental health stigma; and motivations for joining the Strength In Unity (SIU) project. The insights from these Filipino men should inform approaches to addressing mental health in Filipino communities in Canada.

Abstract:

We present an analysis of Tlingipino Bingo, which is the latest iteration of our on-going experiment to work with performance as a means of translating and transforming scholarly work to generate more informed and nuanced public debate about migrant labour. Tlingipino Bingo was a collaboration between white settler academics and Filipino and Tlingit artists in Whitehorse Canada, created in a context of rapid Filipino migration and racialised tensions between Filipino migrants and First Nations peoples in Whitehorse. It brought the communities together to participate in an interactive bingo game and to exchange stories of disparate but resonate experiences of colonialism. We document the public event of Tlingipino Bingo to interrogate how deeply settler colonialism burrows into everyday life, including practices of racialised immigrants, the ways that a model minority discourse functions within state multiculturalism, and to imagine other futures beyond settler colonialism, which could possibly include white settlers as allies. We venture that the performance might also help to think strategically about critical responses to contemporary claims of dispossession by white citizens in Canada and elsewhere, as well as their destructive nostalgia for a lost national time of whiteness.

Abstract:

Using the results of ethnographic research and focus group interviews with Filipino temporary foreign workers in Alberta, Canada, the goal of this article is to bring temporary foreign workers into academic and policy discussions by critically assessing how they fare at different stages of the migration process. Such analysis shows the strengths of ideational, affective and structural factors in determining temporary foreign workers’ motivations and goals. Ultimately, this article shows that temporary foreign workers reconstruct belonging and remake citizenship by making membership claims in Canada on the basis of their economic and social contributions to the country. Such claims, however, are grounded in dual modes of belonging in both Canada and in the Philippines. Their participation in migrants’ rights organizations that endeavour to provide temporary foreign workers with pathways to permanent residency shows their belief in their ‘right to have rights’ (Isin, 2008).

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is more prevalent in certain ethnicities due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and metabolic factors. North American Filipino populations may have lifestyle and metabolic risk factors for NAFLD; however, the prevalence of NAFLD in this group is unknown. We sought to determine whether Filipino patients are over-represented in a multi-ethnic NAFLD cohort and describe their clinical presentation, primarily compared to other ethnicities in the same geographical region and secondarily compared to Manila-based Filipino patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with patients with NAFLD who were followed at the Hepatology Clinic at Vancouver General Hospital, Canada, from January 2015 to August 2018. Data were extracted for clinicodemographic data, ethnicity, anthropometric measures, blood work, and transient elastography (TE). External comparison data was obtained online from the Metro Vancouver census and a NAFLD study conducted in Manila, Philippines. RESULTS: Of 317 patients meeting inclusion criteria for the study, 224 patients had complete datasets. The mean age was 51.1 years, and 50% were female. There were 139 (62%) Caucasian and other ethnicity patients, 55 (25%) Asian patients, and 30 (13%) Filipino patients. Compared to other ethnic groups, the Filipino group had similar clinical characteristics, including NAFLD fibrosis scores and TE. Of included NAFLD patients, the proportion of Filipino patients (13.39%) was significantly greater than the proportion of Filipino residents in Metro Vancouver (5.52%, p <0.01). Our Filipino Canadians seemed to be younger, with fewer females and a lower proportion of diabetes mellitus, but a higher proportion of hypertension than the previously reported cohort from Manila. CONCLUSIONS: While Filipino patients have not previously been examined in multi-ethnic NAFLD studies, they may represent a high-risk population. Further research is needed to clarify the prevalence and presentation of NAFLD in Filipino Canadian patients, as this appears to be a significant health issue in this community.

Abstract:

As a collective of diasporic Filipino-Canadian community members, Filipino theatre artists, and cultural workers located in the unceded territories and ancestral lands of Turtle Island and in our original homeland the Philippines, we explored staging disaster stories to conceptualize sustainability in the aftermath of disaster. Through an Indigenization and transformation of the Christmas nativity as virtual performance, Sirang Theatre Ensemble reimagined the folk theatre form Pastores as a transnational project to articulate climate justice after Super Typhoon Yolanda and Super Typhoon Odette. In this article, we orbit our discussion of sustainability by answering questions around Philippine-Canadian transnational theatre collaboration and decolonization of foreign aid. To foreground a discourse of sustainability, we looked at Waray collectivist epistemology and critical analysis of the role of translation in reviving intangible cultural heritage. The online show Adoración de los Pastores: Transnational Solidarity for Climate Justice in the Performance of Waray Pastores conceptualizes transnational theatre creation as a performance of sustainability. Inserted in between scenes and after the performance of Adoración de los Pastores were curated testimonies, commentaries, and a forum participated in by diasporic Filipino Canadians, Filipino theatre artists, and Canadian-based theatre artists, climate justice advocates, a social scientist, a priest, and students, as well as a recorded video of the former Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines on the impact of Super Typhoon Odette on local community members in Leyte Province. Staging disaster stories by local artists who directly experience the brunt of climate crises and the mobilization of diasporic transnational collaboration expands the practice of sustainable disaster response and recovery beyond the international foreign aid assistance model and paradigm.

In this article, we explore the possibilities of Participatory Action Research (PAR) producing ethical and nuanced knowledge that contributes to developing Filipino migrant workers’ capacity for sustainable political organizing. We discuss our projects with Filipino migrant organizations in the U.S. and Canada. We theorize on the potential of PAR with migrants who are part of highly precarious workforces in global cities. Additionally, we, as immigrant women of colour and scholars, highlight the tensions between academic ethos that prioritizes a rapid ‘publish-or-perish’ culture and the ethos of PAR, which puts into place collaborative processes that can be at odds with the ‘tempo’ of academic work. We highlight the tensions between the academic and reproductive labour of PAR, with the latter being seen by many academic institutions as an ‘inconvenience’ impeding productivity.

Abstract:

This article focuses on queer Filipino artists who deploy familial memories to produce important knowledge around what it means to be queer, racialized, and diasporic in Canada. Through Patrick Salvani’s drag showSarap(2017) and Casey Mecija’s short filmMy Father, Francis(2013), the author tracks how familial memories expose the contradictions inherent in being sexually and racially marginalized within this multicultural, settler colonial space.SarapandMy Father, Francisactivate various scenes of domesticity to disturb the teleological tropes with which the private and the public have been institutionally compartmentalized. Both also offer examples of Filipino Canadian critique that resist the assimilationary ruse of respectability through economic value and ideological worth. These works reorganize the meaning of “finding happiness,” not by drawing from overwrought narratives of familial “inclusion,” but by mining the complex affects that often emanate from the histories, burdens, and pains of family members.

Abstract:

This paper examines the 2013 exhibitionThrough the Looking Glass: Inside My Domestic Portraitof Filipino Canadian artist Julius Poncelet Manapul. I ask in this case study: What are the ways in which Filipino Canadian artists mobilize art in response to their invisibility in Canadian society? Adopting a contextual analysis, I interpret Manapul’s artwork, my interview with the artist, and his writings and place them in conversation with discourses of contemporary art, visual culture, and cultural studies.I argue Manapul’s hybrid art practice represents an emerging queer decolonial aesthetic that challenges Western heteronormative standards of family, home, identity, and citizenship consequently creating a utopic, third space of potentiality. Through physical, symbolic, and virtual interventions, Manapul provides an alternative vision of postcolonial subjectivity, which defies essentialist readings of ethnic identity prevalent in Canada’s neoliberal multicultural discourse. I discuss the implications of Manapul’s queer decolonial aesthetic in relation to multiculturalism in Canada and its generative possibilities for contemporary queer theory.

RÉSUMÉBien que la recherche canadienne sur le travail domestique ait surtout porté sur les expériences immigratoires et migratoires des travailleurs domestiques dans le cadre du Programme concernant les employés de maison étrangers et du Programme des aides familiaux résidants, la recherche est rare sur la retraite de ces travailleurs et la façon dont ils vieillissent dans la société canadienne. Cet article met l’accent sur les expériences de vieillissement des travailleurs domestiques philippins qui, en entrant à la retraite, se retrouvent dans l’économie secondaire et / ou souterraine, tout en fournissant et en recevant des soins de leurs conjoints, petits-enfants et membres locales ou transnationales de leur famille. Les données ont été tirées des six entrevues qualitatives et approfondies avec vieilles domestiques philippines qui a parlé de l’expérience de l’immigration, travail dans la prestation de soins, la retraite et le vieillissement. Les résultats soulignent (1) la pauvreté que les travailleurs domestiques philippins âgés rencontrent quand ils abordent leur retraite ; (2) la nécessité pour mais l’insuffisance des dispositions sur la retraite de l’État ; (3) la nécessité de trouver du travail à la main-d’oeuvre non déclarée ; et (4) comment la pratique d’accompagnement est effectuée, comme une stratégie de survie, entre les générations.

Abstract:

This reflection examines the Filipino-based play The Waltz, performed at Factory Theatre (Toronto, Ontario) in the fall season of 2022. The Waltz, like many other local plays, exemplifies the Canadian immigrant narrative, navigating between ethnic origins and newfound spaces. In this performance, Theatre of the Real, as proposed by Carol Martin, is evident when the connection with audience members and hidden grief due to immigration statuses is exemplified. Productions of ethnic local theatre shows in Canada told from an immigrant narrative perspective validate feelings of otherness in Canadian citizens, which is a component of understanding one’s own identity.

It is very difficult to write about a man who is bigger than life. And that is Dr Mariano B. Caparas. Professor and former Chairman, Department of Otolaryngology, University of the Philippines- Philippine General Hospital A native of Balagtas, Bulacan, his first love was to be an artist (a painter) but his parents dissuaded him from doing so and asked him to take up medicine instead. He entered the UP College of Medicine and graduated in 1958. He went on to train in the then Department of EENT in UP-PGH. Two years in training, Ophthalmology separated from Otolaryngology. He chose Otolaryngology, thus graduating in 1961. He went on to do further training in Princess Margaret Hospital in Canada specializing in maxillofacial prosthesis. My first encounter with Dr. Caparas was when we had an immersion program in Bay, Laguna, as a first year student in UPCM. He was one of our facilitators who stayed with us in the barrio for one week. He taught us how to be true and caring physicians and at the same time, instilling in us the true spirit of nationalism. Dr. Cap, as he is fondly called was the fiery consultant with a lot of vision, patriotism, and a very strong desire to improve Otorhinolaryngology- Head and Neck Service in the country. He was the chairman from 1978-1987 in the Dept of ORL, UP-PGH, the early part of his term was a time of unrest and national strife. We had limited resources then, so he taught us to be self- reliant. He started the development of instruments, from scraps or rundown machines that were practical and easy to use, like suction dissectors, headlights, automyringotomy set and otoscopess. This started the era of innovation in the department. He was a co-founder of the Asean Otorhinolaryngological Head & Neck Federation in 1980. It was organized to present and discuss common ORL problems in our region. He always believed in ASEAN first. As a teacher, he would not just give you facts but rather teach you the hows and whys of things. He challenges you to think out of the box. As a surgeon, he was highly skilled and did a lot of innovative techniques. We had flaps which was fondly called Cap flaps. He was bold enough to do unconventional techniques. He is a true nationalist. During the Marcos era, he led us to fight for freedom. He was at the forefront in the fight for corruption, imperialism and militarism. He was one of the primemovers of the then Doctors for Cory. He risks his life for democracy. Apart from his being a nationalist and a great doctor, he was also an artist. He is a great painter. We marvel at how he would up to the board and draw the anatomy of the ear or the neck. He had a gallery of paintings which he gave out to his friends and residents. On the lighter side, he was an avid golfer. He thought us to learn the sports. When he was getting old and weak, golf kept him going. When he got sick, 2 years ago of prostate cancer, he didn’t want any further treatment but we, his ORL family convinced him to fight the big C. He agreed and we supported him on this (We thank all who helped him). We will miss you Dr. Caparas. But I know that you live in each one of us you trained. You have touch the lives of so many Filipinos. Your legacy will live on. Goodbye sir and may you rest in peace.

Abstract:

RÉSUMÉLes maisons de soins infirmiers au Canada sont devenues de plus en plus dépendante des aides soignants immigrants. Plus qu’aucun autre groupe ethnique, les femmes philippines sont surrépresentées parmi les aidants (aides soignantes) dans le système de soins de santé canadien. Cette étude qualitative a exploré les expériences d’emploi des aides soignants immigrantes dans les maisons de soins infirmiers, de leurs points de vues, ainsi que ceux des intervenants. Quatorze entrevues ont été menées à Winnipeg, au Manitoba, avec aides de soins de santé philippines et avec les intervenants de soins de longue durée. Les résultats indiquaient que les réseaux sociaux immigrants agissent comme des voies reliant les femmes immigrantes des opportunités d’emploi dans les maisons des soins infirmiers. La composition de la main-d’œuvre est également faconnée par les stratégies de gestion et les ajustements du marché du travail, qui répondent à et renforcent ces réseaux sociaux. Ces résultats ont des implications pour la planification de la main-d’œuvre et la qualité de la prestation de soins dans les maisons de soins infirmiers.

Abstract:

This paper argues that most conceptualizations of citizenship limit the purview of the discourse to static categories. ‘Citizenship’ is commonly seen as an ideal type, presuming a largely legal relationship between an inidividual and a single nation-state – more precisely only one type of nation-state, the advanced capitalist post-war model. Alternatively, we suggest a re-conceptualization of citizenship as a negotiated relationship, one which is subject therefore to change, and acted upon collectively within social, political and economic relations of conflict. This dynamic process of negotiation takes place within a context which is shaped by gendered, racial and class structures and ideologies; it also involves international hierarchies among states. Citizenship is therefore negotiated on global as well as national levels. This conceptualization is demonstrated by way of identifying one particular set of experiences of negotiated citizenship, involving foreign domestic workers in Canada. As non-citizens originating from Third World conditions, this is a case involving women of colour workers, highly prone to abusive conditions, and under the direction of employers who are more affluent First World citizens and predominantly white women. Original survey data based on interviews with Caribbean and Filipino domestic workers in Canada are used to demonstrate the varied, creative and effective strategies of two distinctive groups of non-citizens as they attempt to negotiate citizenship rights in restrictive national and international conditions.

Abstract:

This article describes a participatory visual research project with two Hong Kong-based Filipina young women, and explores their understandings of citizenship and civic engagement through cellphilm-making (cellphone + filmmaking), collaborating on the writing of an academic article, and co-presenting research findings at an academic conference in Calgary, Canada. The study finds that Hong Kong’s Occupy Movement encouraged the participants to see themselves as engaged citizens, participate politically in the territory, and work toward social change for ethnic minorities by engaging different audiences through multiliteracy practices in a research for social change framework.

Abstract:

Abstract This article seeks to introduce readers to the artist Han Han, whose identification as a first-generation immigrant woman, nurse, and rapper highlights a unique contribution to Filipino Canadian critique of colonial and racial relations in Canada. I examine the 2019 music video for Han Han’s single, “Babae Ka,” and consider how it reimagines local, global, and transnational forms of queerness and feminist power. How does this audio-visual piece reproduce and respond to conversations around diaspora, Indigeneity, and gendered forms of labour? Moving between the sonic and the visual, I argue that Han Han enacts a critical practice of “disobedient performance” as she plays with a vernacular understanding of Philippine gender and sexuality and explores the nuances of a performative construction of femininity encompassed in the term “babae” (Tagalog for “woman”).

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper asserts that creativity and criticality are interlocked constructs that converge through the shared impetus of challenging existing norms, practices and relations of power. Drawing on data from a student YouTube adaptation of a play about Filipino migrants from a literature textbook, it examines how high school students in the Philippines use their linguistic, multimodal and digital resources to retell a prescribed narrative from their own perspectives and contexts. By conducting a multimodal discourse analysis of this video, this paper demonstrates how these youth engage with translanguaging and transmediation, reshaping the meanings of the primary text while imagining spaces like Canada from their own fixed locations in the Philippines. Through these creative and critical processes, they are able to challenge the boundaries of both word and world, and assert their own voices in the discourse of migration and globalization.

Abstract:

Jollibee is the No.1 Filipino fast food brand which was founded in 1975. In recent years, the brand has embarked on an aggressive international expansion, with more than 270 international branches in 17 countries such as United States, Canada, Brunei, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Spain, etc. In this report, I think Mainland China is also a good choice for Jollibee to choose to flourish. And the research question of my analysis is How to make Jolliebee popular in Chinese market by taking the advantage of four principles of contagiousness. I analyzed Jollibee’s brand backgrounds and did SWOT analysis for the brand. In order to help Jollibee to go viral in Mainland China, I recommend Jollibee to adopt 4 out of 6 Principles of contagious by Jonah Berger, which are Social currency, Triggers, Public, and Practical Value.

Abstract:

Background: Postnatal gestational age (GA) algorithms derived from newborn metabolic profiles have emerged as a novel method of acquiring population-level preterm birth estimates in low resource settings. To date, model development and validation have been carried out in North American settings. Validation outside of these settings is warranted. Methods: This was a retrospective database study using data from newborn screening programs in Canada, the Philippines and China. ELASTICNET machine learning models were developed to estimate GA in a cohort of infants from Canada using sex, birth weight and metabolomic markers from newborn heel prick blood samples. Final models were internally validated in an independent sample of Canadian infants, and externally validated in infant cohorts from the Philippines and China. Results: Cohorts included 39,666 infants from Canada, 82,909 from the Philippines and 4,448 from China. For the full model including sex, birth weight and metabolomic markers, GA estimates were within ±5 days of ultrasound values in the Canadian internal validation (mean absolute error (MAE) 0.71, 95% CI: 0.71, 0.72), and within ±6 days of ultrasound GA in both the Filipino (0.90 (0.90, 0.91)) and Chinese cohorts (0.89 (0.86, 0.92)). Despite the decreased accuracy in external settings, our models incorporating metabolomic markers performed better than the baseline model, which relied on sex and birth weight alone. In preterm and growth-restricted infants, the accuracy of metabolomic models was markedly higher than the baseline model. Conclusions: Accuracy of metabolic GA algorithms was attenuated when applied in external settings. Models including metabolomic markers demonstrated higher accuracy than models using sex and birth weight alone. As innovators look to take this work to scale, further investigation of modeling and data normalization techniques will be needed to improve robustness and generalizability of metabolomic GA estimates in low resource settings, where this could have the most clinical utility

Abstract:

This paper reflects the intersection of three cultures: the rave (all night dance party and use of the drug, Ecstasy) culture; the ward culture of an inpatient psychiatric program for First Episode Psychosis; the spirit healing culture of the Philippines. All three intersected in Toronto, Canada in the mid 1990s, as illustrated by the clinical case of a 19-year-old university student who was hospitalized with symptoms of drug-induced psychosis. Her initial treatment was not successful and presented dilemmas for the treating staff. Transfer to a second psychiatric facility that permitted attendance at a traditional Filipino healing ceremony resulted in a cure, with no recurrence 10 years later. According to James Dow’s 1986 formulation, the components of the key spiritual healing session paralleled the very elements the young woman had sought by participating in raves, an activity that was problematic because it led to family displeasure. Whereas attendance at a rave triggered illness, the healing session, sanctioned by her family and taking place in their midst, resulted in healing.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to present a panel data econometric model of the main determinants of house prices in the ten largest census metropolitan areas (CMA) in Ontario, Canada, for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011. The impact of immigration on the housing market in Canada is little researched; however, immigration plays an important role into the economy of Canada. According to Statistics Canada, not only is immigration key to Canada’s population growth but also without immigration, in the next 20 years, Canada’s population growth will be zero. The motivation for this study is the bursting of housing bubbles in some developed countries (e.g. USA). The authors analyze variables that are related to the immigration policy in Canada, accounting also for the impact of the interest rate, income, unemployment, household size and housing supply to analyze housing price determinants. The study investigates the magnitude of the impact of the top three leading categories of immigrants to Canada, namely, Chinese, Indian and Filipino, on the housing prices in Ontario’s largest cities. The results show the main factors that explain home prices over time that are interest rate, immigration, unemployment rate, household size and income. Over the 10-year period from 2001 to 2011, immigration grew by 400 per cent in Toronto CMA, the largest receiving area in Ontario, while the nonimmigrant population grew by 14 per cent. For Toronto CMA, immigrants, income, unemployment rate and interest rate explain the CA$158,875 average home price increase over the 2001-2011 time period. Out of this, the three categories of immigrants’ share of total home price increase is 54.57 per cent, with the corresponding interest rate share 58.60 per cent and income share 11.32 per cent of the total price growth. Unemployment rate contributes negatively to the housing price and its share of the total price increase is 24.49 per cent. Design/methodology/approach The framework for the empirical analysis applies the hedonic pricing model theory to housing sales prices for the ten largest CMAs in Ontario over the years 2001-2011. Following Akbari and Aydede (2012) and O’Meara (2015), market clearing in the housing market results in the housing price as a function of several housing attributes. The authors selected the housing attributes based on data availability for the Canadian Census years of 2001, 2006 and 2011 and the variables that have been most used in the literature. The model has the average housing prices as the dependent variable, and the independent variables are: immigrants per dwelling (Chinese, Indian, and Filipino), unemployment rate, average employment income, household size, housing supply and the interest rate. To capture the relative scarcity of dwellings, the independent variable immigrants per dwelling was used. Findings This study seems to suggest that one cause of high prices in Ontario is large inflows of immigrants together with low mortgage interest rate. The authors focused their attention on Toronto CMA, as it is the main destination of immigrants and comprises the largest cities, including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton and Oakville. Looking over the 10-year period from 2001 to 2011, the authors can see the factors that impact the home prices in Toronto CMA: immigration, unemployment rate, household size, interest rate and income. Over the period of 10 years from 2001 to 2011, immigrants’ group from China, India and the Philippines account for CA$86,701 increase in the home price (54.57 per cent share of the total increase). Income accounts for CA$17,986 increase in the home price (11.32 per cent share); interest rate accounts for CA$93,103 of the average home price increase in Toronto CMA (58.60 per cent share); and unemployment rate accounts for CA$38,916 decrease in the Toronto average home prices (24.49 per cent share). Household size remain stable over time in Toronto (2.8 average household size) and does not have a contribution to home price change. All these four factors, interest rate, immigrants, unemployment rate and income, together explain CA$158,875 increase in home prices in Toronto CMA between 2001 and 2011. Practical implications The housing market price analysis may be more complex, and there may be factors impacting the housing prices extending beyond immigration, interest rate, income and household size. Finally, the results of this paper can be extended to include the most recent census data for the year 2016 to reflect more accurately the price situation in the housing market for Ontario cities. Social implications The fact that currently, in 2017, the young working population cannot afford buying a property in the Toronto CMA area means there is a problem with this market and a corresponding decrease in the quality of life. According to The Globe and Mail (July 2017), a new pool in 2017 suggested that two in five Canadians believe housing in this country is not affordable for them. Further, 38 per cent of respondents who consider themselves middle or upper class believe in no affordability of housing. The Trudeau Government promised Canadians a national housing strategy for affordable housing. Designing a national housing strategy may be challenging because it has to account for the differential income ranges across regions. Municipal leaders are asking the government to prioritize repair and construct new affordable housing. Another reason discussed in the media of the unaffordability of housing in Toronto and Vancouver is foreign buyers. The Canadian Government recently implemented a tax measure on what it may seem the housing bubble problem: foreign buyers. Following Vancouver, in April 2017, Ontario Government imposed a 15 per cent tax on foreign buyers who are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents. This tax is levied on houses purchased in the area stretching from Niagara Region and Greater Toronto to Peterborough. Originality/value Few studies use Canadian data to explain house prices and analyze the effect of immigration on housing prices. There is not much research on the effect of the immigrants and immigrants’ ethnicity (e.g., Chinese, Indian and Filipino immigrants), on the housing prices in Canada cities. This study investigates the impact of the most prevalent immigrant races (e.g., from China, India and the Philippines) on housing prices, using data for Canadian major cities in Ontario within a panel data econometric framework. This paper fills this gap and contributes to the literature, which analyzes the determinants of housing prices based on a panel of cities in the Canadian province of Ontario.

Abstract:

PurposeMany families in the developed world hire live-in caregivers to meet their childcare and elder care needs. Given the spatial arrangements – i.e., that the caregiver lives with her employer – relationships between employers and live-in caregivers can develop into family-like relationships. The purpose of this paper is to draw on data from two Canadian studies to examine the relationships between migrant live-in caregivers and their employers.Design/methodology/approachThe first study focused on the live-in caregivers in Canada. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 Filipina nurses who migrated to Canada through the Live-in Caregiver Program. The second study was a pilot descriptive study that included interviews of recruiter groups and employers of live-in caregivers. Data were thematically analyzed, aided by NVivo software.FindingsThe studies indicate that some live-in caregivers prefer to be treated as one of the family, while others prefer to have a strictly professional employer/employee relationship. Their employers are similarly divided. The authors identify reciprocity and respect as important ingredients for healthy relationships between live-in caregivers and their employers. Without these key ingredients, relationships between employers and live-in caregivers can be exploitative, especially given the unequal power inherent in the relationship.Research limitations/implicationsFurther studies are needed to better understand how these relationships evolve over time and in space.Practical implicationsThere is a need to create policies to further prevent exploitation of live-in caregivers within an unfavorable employee or familial relationship.Originality/valueThis study provides useful insight into the development of knowledge on relationships between live-in caregivers and employers.
