Caribbean China: Canada response to the refugee challenge was not a victory of starry-eyed optimism over the drill-down realism of security or risk, as some now seek to portray it, according to Globe and Mail. It was about who Canadians are and how, since Canada inception, refugees and immigrants from the British Isles, Eastern and Western Europe, Indochina, India and Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and postwar Europe, South Korea, the Caribbean and China, to mention just a few, have shaped the demographics and culture of our national development. When excessive caution or angst overcomes hope, incumbents run into electoral difficulty that can, and have, produced defeats far worse than the Conservatives saw in October. Particular settlements from Ukraine in the west, North Africa in Quebec and Lebanon in most of our cities have been definitive building blocks. They joined draft dodgers from the United States and economic migrants from the Americas to help shape the particular brand of hope that Canadians share. Hope for a better life and for the two core freedoms – from fear and from want – is what brought these prospective and now well-rooted Canadians to our shores. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
