Canadian island offers job, land to anyone willing to relocate

A
general store on a small Canadian Island has been inundated with applications
after it posted an advert offering land and a job to those willing to
relocate there.
The Farmer’s Daughter Country Market in Canada’s Novia Scotia stated in the
Facebook advert that it could not offer “big money” to successful applicants.
Instead, it promised aspiring staffers two acres land to live on and keep
after working for five years.
The
store has received 3,500 applications so far. The
advert, which informed readers of the island’s efforts to
reduce environmentally-damaging corporate development, also stated that
while suitable locals had been hired, more staffers were needed.
The
store’s advertisement marks the second time the island has put out a call for
people to migrate. In response to the rise of Donald Trump, the Canadian island
offered to take in Americans as political refugees if the real estate
mogul emerged victorious in the US presidential elections.
”Don’t
wait until Donald Trump is elected president to find somewhere else to live,”
the advertisement by the tourist board read. Cape Breton Island’s website
promised that if they moved, women would be free to get abortions and Muslims
would be free to move as they please.
In
February, the Cape Breton tourism website had received over 300,000 visits —
more than its usual annual tally — in the week preceding the advert. Some 5,000
Americans have also sought specific information about the island, immigration
rules, real estate and employment opportunities, the head of the tourism board
said.
The
Canadian census of 2011 suggested that the Island of Cape Breton might be
facing a population crises as it found that the population had decreased by 4.1
percent in 2011 from 2006, The
Independent reported. The population of the island currently stands
at 135,000 people.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
