🚨 Nearly 30 Canadian language programs shut down in just 3 months.
The sharpest drop the sector’s ever seen.

Funding cuts + policy uncertainty are breaking the backbone of immigrant integration.

This isn’t sustainable.

The clustering categories on the WVS cultural map are baffling.

There are three categories for Europe and one for Africa.

Some clusters are based on religion, others geography, and then a separate cluster for English speaking countries.

The Philippines are in the Latin American cluster.
