Miscellaneous
As millions of people are on the move, displaced by climate change and conflict, we share our own families’ stories of migration to Canada. Shaken by the act of terror perpetrated against Muslims by a white supremacist in Christchurch, New Zealand, we examine how racism, xenophobia and anti-migrant hate have been normalized in Canadian political discourse and abroad. We speak with Harjeet Singh in Delhi, India [@harjeet11], Global Lead on Climate Change for Action Aid, who explains what it means to be displaced by climate and makes the case that solidarity requires we all be more human. And we consider that wisdom back in Toronto, as former care-worker and current organizer Kara Manso [@karamanso_] of the Caregivers’ Action Center explains why giving people status on arrival is the best way to stop the exploitation and abuse of migrant workers.
