Hong Kong, China – After spending half his life building his career as an art director at a Hong Kong magazine, Edmond Kwok never thought he would have to start over in England toiling in manual labour jobs.
Like most of the 50,000 people who left Hong Kong last year for a new life in a new land, 39-year-old Kwok says he had no choice but to make the sacrifices necessary to keep his family safe.

People in Quebec, especially those under 35, are the least likely to believe in God among Canadians, according to a 2019 poll from the Association for Canadian Studies. Only 10 percent of respondents said they attend religious services.
The increasing secularization of Canadian society played a role when rebranding Catholic community services. “One of the issues for that agency was that it received funding from a nonprofit foundation that itself was very ambiguous regarding its openness to religion and funding religious organizations,” said Bishop Thomas Dowd, an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Montreal at the time of the agency’s rebranding. “The que
