Sanctuary: Canada and Sanctuary City

sanctuary: While it makes a great political statement, its also a divisive tactic used by Americans, according to Huffington Post Canada. The Us versus Them model. President Donald Trump has stirred a lot of enthusiasm in Canada for sanctuary cities. When a person is escaping war or simply wants to immigrate to Canada, the driving force is the idea that Canada is an inclusive, safe country of multiculturalism. Declaring a city a sanctuary city is a slap in the face of Canadians because a sanctuary city tells the world that somehow the rest of Canada is not a safe place for refugees and immigrants. There's no thought that a single city in Canada is somehow a sanctuary while the rest of Canada isn't. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
