Whenever I write about racism, I must mention the fact that more than 95 per cent of the people I have met and dealt with are super nice.

I would probably have avoided discussing this topic if what I hear is from someone on the street, but when it香蕉视频直播檚 out of a university student香蕉视频直播檚 mouth, I am bringing it up.

To those who don香蕉视频直播檛 know the definition of a 香蕉视频直播渞efugee,香蕉视频直播 please look it up.

I understand we live in a country where we all have the freedom of speech, but the question is: does this freedom extend to include changing facts? Here is one of the facts that I have seen being changed: I received $750 a month from the government for six months as a start. Why do I hear from people that every Syrian refugee is getting $2,000 a month?

To someone who tells me I am not a Canadian香蕉视频直播攊f Canadian means a person who has citizenship status香蕉视频直播攊n three or four months I will be. But if a Canadian means a person who loves the country and respects its law, I have been Canadian from the first day I landed in 2016. I understand very well my rights and responsibilities.

And no, I am not a terrorist.

It香蕉视频直播檚 your lack of reading that香蕉视频直播檚 the problem if you don香蕉视频直播檛 understand the reasons that forced me to leave Syria. I stood up for what all Canadians believe in. I was out protesting against a dictatorship at the time I lost my mother, brother, uncles, friends and home, and for requesting women rights, better education and a better Syria.

I beg you, if you don香蕉视频直播檛 agree with a political party, don香蕉视频直播檛 throw us under the wheels. We have suffered enough.

Please understand, we came to Canada under the Canadian law and as a result of a decision made by a legally elected person.
