This (not just the subscription 😃) is what keeps reporters @TorontoStar going. Proud of the paper's Atkinson tradition as a People's Paper! In this age of populism and fake news, the role of in-depth print media is that much more important in a functional democracy 👍

Five years ago, they were known as ‘Syrian refugees.’ Today, they became ‘Syrian Canadians’

Replying to @nkeung
"The Court by contrast insisted on respecting Canadian constitutional law and international refugee law – and quite properly found that Canada cannot be complicit in US attacks on refugees without violating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” @SeanRehaag

If @TorontoStar didn't give me a chance in 1997, I would never have been able to tell all these stories about immigrants and refugees. Thanks for taking a chance on me and having the faith in newcomers' ability.
