Immigrant Families and Trudeau

security concerns: For Canada we have had a leadership change and a different take on Syrian Refugees as Harper stalled the process for supposed "security concerns" while Trudeau was seen handing out coats to immigrant families at Pearson airport, according to Huffington Post Canada. Trudeau actions were comforting to me as along with other Canadians I had experienced 10 years of Harper tight lipped media evasion. A mirror has been set up to reflect the political tensions within countries and the identities of its citizens. I got a little teary eyed when Trudeau welcomed the Syrian families with the words, "Welcome to your new home." I was inspired that Canadian leadership was promoting empathy and understanding for the trauma that these people had suffered. I have been in a discussion behind closed doors where people spoke of the refugees as being "different" and unable to adapt to Canadian Society. Even though outwardly Canada seems to have embraced the incoming refugees, I think some people have forgotten the compassion and despair that was felt when the image of Alan Kurdi lifeless body, was seared into our collective unconscious.
