While African asylum seekers sleep on the streets of Toronto, Ukrainian refugees get the royal treatment of red-carpet immigration treatment
Moments ago Canada announced that any Ukrainian refugee who has applied for a visa as of today, and can get to the country by March 2024, will be given citizenship in October 2025. As of July 1, over 1.1 million Ukrainians had applied to come. This is EXCEPTIONAL.

Language is such a huge battlefield in the fight against fascism that we must giver credit to the communities from where words and expressions originate
