Just over 30 years ago this month during an interview on Larry King
Live, Ross Perot decided to put up his hand and run for the US
presidency.
Perot`s profile as a billionaire who was not part of the Washington
establishment but simply wanted to change the way the establishment
worked, had significant consequences for the 1992 elections and, as it
turned out, for the 2016 US election campaign.
At the heart of Perot`s message, was the idea that the other
contenders â€` George HW Bush and Bill Clinton, were too entrenched in

deliberations around the trade agreement between the US, Mexico and
Canada. The most contentious points related to the impact of the
proposed agreement on US jobs.

According to a 2019 Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) analysis, three in four African students (75%) who applied for Canadian study permits in Canada between January and May that year were rejected.
Students from French-speaking African countries are reportedly facing higher Canadian visa refusal rates compared to other nations, said international education stakeholders. They warned this might jeopardise Canada’s recruitment efforts and reputation as a welcoming study abroad destination. SA
