Canada Safety Security

Canada: It is both disturbing and mysterious that Canada is spending such a huge chunk of money on this museum that already there and not spending money on those who need to get to Canada for safety and security, Cohen said in an interview, according to The Chronicle Herald. The new exhibit, at the historic Pier 21, is a sight to behold. Lee Cohen, who has spent the last three decades working as an immigration lawyer in Halifax, says the federal government has gone out of its way in the past number of years to make Canada as inhospitable as it been since the Second World War for immigrants and refugees. The visually rich design is peppered with interactive displays and high-tech touch screens outlining a centuries-long dance with immigration and the stories of the settlers who helped build Canada. Justice Minister and Central Nova MP Peter Mac Kay will attend, as will Canadian author Lawrence Hill. Thursday unveiling will feature music and entertainment, followed by free tours.
