It's important to understand that Canada has more responsibility because it's profited from the displacement of those people. When we talk about the conditions here being better, it's because they are worse there. We say we are here because you are there. This is what we have to deal with. You have to put this into the context of global migration patterns. We're not leaving our homes in search of better jobs because Canada is better. We're leaving our homes because corporations, banks and the global economic system have made it impossible for us to live with dignity in places we've called home.
