immigration

Breaking papadum and giving thanks to the country I call home.

Three-quarters of Canada's population growth comes from immigration, up from less than half in the 1990s.

You simply cannot live in Canada and ignore the past. It's a pretty strong statement but reading the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission into Aboriginal residential schools, that's the conclusion I've come to. The truth may be out but the reconciliation is going to take a while. So just as all Canadians share accountability for what is past, we also share a responsibility for making things better.
