Laura Kaminker and Canada

Vietnam War: For Laura Kaminker, the Canadian conversation had been going on with her family since she was a child, according to Toronto Star. I grew up during Vietnam War and my parents always said if my brother was drafted they would move to Canada, she said. Disenchanted voters look with longing eyes to their northerly neighbour, but few have the fortitude to follow through. But it wasn’t until 2003 that she and her husband reached their breaking point. We were tired of being so angry and frustrated and out of step for so long, she said. One day we were watching the latest outrage on the news and . . . I said ‘Oh God, when are we moving to Canada ’ That simple sentence summed up years of exasperation for the couple who watched their country change before their eyes. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
