    Canada's tightening of immigration policies/ Financial Secretary Paul Chan's Saudi Arabia visit / Sotheby's duct-taped banana exhibit

    On Friday’s Backchat, Global Focus talks about Canada’s tightening immigration policies.

    The government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau plans to lower the country’s immigration targets by up to 20 %, in a move it says will stabilise the housing and job markets.
    The projected number of foreigners granted permanent residency will be cut from 485,000 this year to 395,000 in 2025 while the issuance of student visas will be capped further.
    As a result of this new policy, the country’s population could shrink by 0.2 percent in the next two years and reduce the housing supply gap by around 670,000 units according to the government.
    Critics see this move as a way for the incumbent Liberal administration to gain the hearts and minds of Conservative voters ahead of next year’s elections, where immigration is expected to be a determining factor.
    At 9:30, we be discuss the highlights of Financial Secretary Paul Chan’s visit to Saudi Arabia.
    After 9:45, we learn more about a viral duct taped banana sold by Sotheby’s at an estimate of US$ 1.5 million.

    Cycling accidents / HKU osteoporosis study

    主持人:Jim Gould and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about road safety, particularly for cyclists.

    The police have said they'll be working with the Transport Department to make it mandatory for cyclists to wear a helmet, following a number of fatal accidents.
    Speaking to reporters, the Police Commissioner, Raymond Siu, said that while the number of accidents involving bicycles had fallen by 7 percent in the first eight months of the year, compared with the same period in 2023, fatalities had doubled, from four to eight.
    The latest such accident happened less than a month ago, when a 31-year-old mainland cycling vlogger died after falling off her bike and being hit by a tourist coach on Lantau Island.
    At the same time, the government is drawing up plans to regulate electric motorised devices, or EMDs, such as electric scooters and motorised skateboards, to allow for their possible use on some cycle tracks.
    After 9:45, we learn more about osteoporosis, with a study by the University of Hong Kong finding that nearly 30 percent of residents over 50 are at high risk of developing the condition.
