E46: Shilan Zade thinks immigrants should get involved in building Canada's future

Hello, I'd really like to grow this email list. If you enjoy this newsletter, it would mean the world to Jola and I if you encouraged one friend/fellow immigrant/colleague to subscribe…Very likely, the the only thing you will get in return is warm fuzzy feelings, and if I can attribute it to you, I’d personally send you a thank you email.

Join us as we explore the bitter-sweet world of the immigrant.

In this episode, I’m speaking with Shilan Zade, who's running to be the next Conservative candidate for Burnaby North - Seymour.

There are a many reasons why we immigrants pack up our bags and move to Canada.

But the biggest reason is probably a better life for our kid(s). That's if you have kids.

So, if you are looking to move to a country where you believe your child is going to have a better future, isn't that enough reason to get involved in building that future? Because the bright future isn't going to magically appear.

It has to be built. Brick by brick.

This is why Shilan thinks we all should get involved in building Canada's future.

In this conversation, Shilan and I chat about:

* Managing cultural misunderstandings as an immigrant

* Why she’s running for office

* The impact of language barriers

* The power of our voices

* Settling into Canada 20 years ago, and more.

People, there is no perfect moment to get involved in building the Canadian society of our dreams. Start now!
