Politics, Identity, and Asylum in Canada

This chapter humorously critiques a Canadian rapper's dance moves while linking them to mixed-race identity, before shifting to an analysis of the recent Canadian elections and Justin Trudeau's victory. It explores the rising numbers of American asylum seekers fleeing to Canada due to political turmoil and highlights the complexities of their journeys. Through satirical commentary and personal stories, the chapter contrasts the evolving image of Canada as a refuge with its historical role as a land of opportunity.
