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.
