Immigration: Canada The Land

Rrr Dept: He had the shakes, he was making sounds to himself – “rrr,rrr,rrr” – and he was behaving irrationally, throwing things and pounding on glass doors that wouldn’t open for him, according to Globe And Mail. What he wanted was to find his mother so he could start a new life in Canada, the land, he told his friends, “where there is milk and honey.” He was exhausted, dazed, confused, dehydrated and sweat plastered his hair to his head. Under the fluorescent lighting, his glazed eyes and pallid skin gave him the look, some thought, of a man coming down from alcohol, although he was not. But the Braidwood Commission report, which chronicles Mr. Dziekanski’s fateful last day, makes it clear he wasn’t looking for a drink as he wandered lost in YVR, and he wasn’t looking for a fight, although the police wrongly thought otherwise. As reported in the news.
