Title:
Killarney-Fraserview Rebuild 2015 a hijab or turban is not a failed attempt at beauty and humanity is the unique answer to a specific question: do all lives matter? we have representational leadership diversity of faces, of faiths, of creeds, of colours, of castes -- or so it would seem, if all that has transpired is not a dream; do I believe in this second coming? can the past inflexibility be softened? will the "old stock" welcome the new? even when they don't look like "us"? (whatever that is supposed to mean) how much land will be allotted, and to whom? can we afford to embrace the looks from elsewhere? or is our empathy just all that glitters stuck in the surface? could they move back to the east? a little further? or could we move over to make space in this seeming infinite place we claim as home or hope?
