Thinking critically about the Canadian immigration system
Oct. 26, 2009, 4:28 p.m.
Who's let in? Who's left out? and Why?
National mythology portrays Canada as a diverse and welcoming country, but the nationâs immigration policy, migrant workforces, and deportation orders tell a different story. Are our borders really open to anyone seeking a better life? Or just to those who look like they'll "fit in" and who serve Canadian economic interests? Does the Canadian government really care about how (im)migrants live, or just how their labour can be used to work in the favour of Canadians, especially wealthier ones?
Listen in on this no-holds-barred look at the history, politics, classism and racism of the Canadian immigration system.

Films being shown at the third annual Boston Palestine Film Festival
Oct. 25, 2009, 6:13 p.m.
The third annual Boston Palestine Film Festival, already in progress, continues through Sunday, November 1, 2009. Each day there are several different films, some short, some feature-length. Their showings are distributed among three different venues including the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Harvard, and Kendall Square Theatre in Cambridge.
We decided that it might be worthwhile to hear descriptions of some of the films yet to run. We are honored that BPFF's distinguished coordinator, Salma Abu Ayyash, agreed to spend time with us describing these fabulous films and the stories and the people behind them. It is remarkable what we can learn of the lives and the suffering of Palestinians through the medium of their own art.
Salma invites us to go to bostonpalestinefilmfest.org for up-to-the-minute current scheduling and descriptive information.
