My Canada

Watching our Prime Minister welcome Syrian refugees to Canada this week felt like I was returning home after a long trip to a foreign land. It has been so long since I have felt proud to be a Canadian. I hope government xenophobic rhetoric and autocratic leadership are forever behind us, never to return. Governing through fear and intimidation should never be acceptable in a free, democratic country. 

It is time to heal the wounds we have caused.

“later that night i held an atlas in my lap, ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered - where does it hurt?
It answered - everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.”
