The Amelie: Canadian Refugee Policy and the Story of the 1987 Boat People
Nov. 4, 2011, 12:41 p.m.
In 1987, a small boat called the Amelie brought 174 refugees to the shores Charlesville, Nova Scotia. Most of the passengers were Sikhs fleeing persecution in India, who had endured a long a difficult journey to reach Canada. Though the people of Charlesville offered their hospitality to the
Amelie migrants, Canadaâs government did not. Sadly, the passengers met resistance from those who accused them of abusing Canada's refugee protection system.
The Amelie arrived during a time of economic austerity and rising political conservatism and was used as justification for tightening Canada's refugee laws, not unlike what we have seen in the aftermath of the arrival of Tamil migrants on Canada's West Coast during the summer of 2010. By
looking at the past and telling the story of the Amelie, we can gain insight into current events and injustices faced by refugees and boat people in Canada.
This documentary features interviews with the refugees who were passengers aboard the Amelie, lawyers, policy experts, academics and activists to tell the story of the Amelie and offer multiple perspectives on current and past events.

Childhood obesity in Canada: a spooky subject
Nov. 3, 2011, 3:50 p.m.
Trick or Treat!
On Halloween night, thousands of kids all across Canada dress up in costume, with empty bags and pillowcases in hand. They speed from house to house, collecting as many sugary treats as they can carry. For kids, getting free goodies makes this one of the most exciting nights of the year. But this tradition is also related to a very important issue in healthcare today: childhood obesity.
Rates of childhood obesity in Canada have almost tripled in the past 25 years. According to the Childhood Obesity Foundation of Canada, approximately 26% of children ages 2-17 are currently overweight or obese. These rates continue to increase into adulthood. This brings significant costs not only to the families and individuals struggling with obesity, but also to the Canadian Healthcare System.
Why is this happening? What has changed in the lives of young people? What are we doing right and wrong in the management of obesity?
On this episode of HJR, we interviewed Dr. Katherine Morrison, a pediatric endocrinologist and associate professor at McMaster University. She brings to light some of the realities about childhood obesity in Canada today: the facts, the perceptions, and how we can make positive changes.
