When ‘strangers’ arrive at the borders of a liberal multicultural state, how are they identified – and by whom?

When: 11:30 am - 12:45 pm

"The Nova Scotia office of the CCPA opened its doors in 1999. It is small but mighty with only one paid staff person—the Director. I work with 50+ volunteer Research Associates and others who write, review, edit or otherwise ensure that progressive ideas are published. The CCPA-NS has gained credibility and visibility becoming a go-to organization for the media wanting a progressive perspective. With the help of its loyal supporters, organizational and individual members and donors, it will continue to raise debate and propose policy alternatives that will get us closer to a achieving a more economically and socially just, as well as environmentally sustainable province and Atlantic region."
