Here's to Sultana Jahangir, Faria Kamal, and Gurratan Singh Dhaliwal - three Toronto residents who don't like what they see happening with the new Conservative immigration initiatives and are doing something about it.
While they are seen as radicals - being a part of the group, "No One Is Illegal" - they are advocates for those without advocates: women fleeing violence, refugees without status...
Critics would argue that those who enter Canada illegally should simply be kicked out. Lucky for them, they are not facing violence or oppression, imprisonment or death. When you get upset with those who are in the country illegally, ask yourself if you truly understand why they have come, and what you would do in their situation.
In the meantime, broaden your outlook by reading the profile of these brave Canadians in the this Star article.
