Canada and Canadian References

award-winning children writer: I have been all over Canada except Nunavut, according to Toronto Star. I have lived here for 51 years. I may look very different but I am a true Canadian and talk with all Canadian references, said Khan, an award-winning children writer who was born in Lahore, Pakistan, and came to Canada with her family at age 3. This is my country. Researchers asked 600 Muslim Canadians and 987 non-Muslims questions on a wide range of issues from their sense of belonging to their views on national security, attitudes towards Islam and experiences with discrimination. Khan pride as both a Canadian and a Muslim is echoed by the one-million-strong Muslim community across Canada, according to a new national survey by The Environics Institute, released Wednesday.
