Muslim-Majority Countries: Starbucks Canada

muslim-majority countries: Richard Lautens / Toronto Star By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Wed., March 22, 2017 Starbucks, the Seattle-based global coffee chain, has announced plans to hire 10,000 refugees around the world, including 1,000 in Canada over five years, according to Toronto Star. Wednesday's announcement followed outgoing Starbucks chairman and CEO Howard Schultz's earlier defiance and criticisms of U.S. President Donald Trump's travel bans against Muslim-majority countries and suspension of refugee programs. He's pictured here with Luisa Girotto, VP of Public Affairs for Starbucks Canada. In response to the new administration's executive orders, Schultz reaffirmed the company's values by committing to hire refugees, building bridges, not walls, with Mexico, and supporting undocumented youth and former U.S. president Barack Obama's affordable health care plan. These newcomers need jobs to resettle successfully. We see the role Canada plays in accepting refugees. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
