MPP student Zain Jinnah reflects on the differing experiences of immigrants in their host countries…
I was born and raised in Calgary, a medium-sized city nestled at the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Some call Calgary a redneck city due to it having a “Wild West” type of culture, but I disagree. Growing up here I’ve experienced nothing but hospitality from my fellow citizens. I went to school and work with other Calgarians, both Caucasian and non-white, without ever having been marginalized or excluded for the brown color of my skin. Things got even better in 2010 when Calgary elected a new mayor – an erudite Muslim of Indian origin – whose accent alone is so Canadian that it was inconceivable he didn’t fit into the city he had called home for four decades.
