<div>As a Canadian, I know we have our own justice and human rights challenges—similar to but also different from those in the US.
<div>So, I have been following this conversation with great interest and pride in you all for stepping bravely into the moment. It obviously is not a one-and-done moment, but an occasion for constant vigilance. </div>
<div>I was so glad to see the reversal of the racist policy. </div>
<div>In Canada, the government has just announced that students studying at Canadian universities can count their online school time toward a post-graduation work permit (which is often a first step toward citizenship). You can see the report in the linked
article. <a href="https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapple.news%2FA1SScjHlWTfqgauaOPuY9gg&data=02%7C01%7Ckaind%40ecu.edu%7Cbd69cb2e4a9247cd7f8808d8285754c3%7C17143cbb385c4c45a36ac65b72e3eae8%7C1%7C1%7C637303702850374042&sdata=e12BNirKU1k%2F9%2F8ePRIYSX3PxjmCGDOmx5CA78yCs2E%3D&reserved=0" originalsrc="https://apple.news/A1SScjHlWTfqgauaOPuY9gg" shash="cnW4hHcoVGTszhEGhiCCKNhCqWAoie5HEW/yylYdA2QL5TyghmMyww7w9bKQs7I4pEJovBXZ7NtOsteBkum1wfbFstbg6zQpLoM7TcPzwGGLJ2hMnHo2s3WcJ9xPAhptltrHmppA97qVpbuRLgDS61LqIsagUKtdKpV0EyQXUng=">https://apple.news/A1SScjHlWTfqgauaOPuY9gg</a></div>
<div>I hope that saner minds can prompt the US toward a similar position. </div>
<div>In the meantime, do celebrate the small victory achieved by your activism and compassion. </div>
