Politics: Canada and Images

politics: These repercussions already reverberate acutely in Canada, according to Huffington Post Canada. Public discussion is powerfully shaped by the images and ideas projected by politicians and the media about borders, security and incoming floods of migrants. Yet this particular form of difference will be disproportionately felt by groups that do not look like the man who has ushered in a new era of divisive politics and suspicion. Public responses are grounded in the visceral fear that the old and golden way of life is over and that we now live in uncertain and dangerous times. Canada is by no means immune to these dangerous conflations and scare tactics. In particular, the bodies of migrants carry the burden of our fears and they have become useful in bolstering increasingly violent migration management regimes across the world.
