Al Jazeera: Canada and World Stage

al jazeera: The reality of Canada's unfair labour system enters the world stage with the international broadcast of Migrant Dreams on Al Jazeera's Witness which will, throughout the month of May, stream the documentary for free, according to The Chronicle Herald. Canada maintains its pristine international reputation partly by silencing the people who live the lie. This is the myth of Canada the Good, one that still prevails despite repeated truths to the contrary. Migrant Dreams asks questions about what Canadian values really look like by highlighting the voices of those who have long been ignored, marginalized or erased. The film opens a conversation about the relationship between labour, gender, sexuality, race, class and settlement otherwise known as immigration to Canada. At the centre of the documentary are migrant workers in farms across Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
