And the headline read: "An Overwhelming victory for Pierre Poilievre!"

It is the amazing the power and the privilege of an invisible line. A line marked often by bias, control or merely fear. A line that contains but also creates. You won't want to miss our latest episode "When The Border Is You". 🎧 Listen, subscribe and follow! open.spotify.com/episode/3Mqa...

🤔 Immigrant vs. immigrant? 🤔 Show me the show down! Nah . . . LOL.

What we mean is there are differences depending on WHEN you came to Canada. And there can be conflict. It's complex! That's okay. But maybe we CAN understand each other. 🤗

Immigrants voted for right party leaders Trump and were projected to vote for Poilievre in Canada. Why? 🤔 On a deeper level, immigrants weren't projected to vote for right leaning leaders because they sounded nice. They voted for them to align themselves in what it is to be Canadian. 🇨🇦 #Canadian

Why were immigrants projected to vote Conservative in Canada — and what does it mean for our future? 🇨🇦 Immigrants aren’t a monolith — but when systems are oppressive, survival can look like aligning with power, even if it’s rooted in exclusion.

I remember growing up and hearing my white friends talk about being 'expats' in Africa, Asia, India and Europe. It never made sense to me. They were temporary foreign workers but would never admit to that. Why?https://open.spotify.com/episode/2nKEmZT5UIF1LaG7Dq0a4A?si=6421dc3a63cb413c

Let’s call it what it is: the word ‘expat’ is often just a softer label for privilege. What do you think?

“DEI is woke.”
“It silences free speech.”
