Globe And Mail – How Kingston Became the Cambodian Food Capital of Canada
Kingston, a university town otherwise known for farmers’ markets and limestone courtyards, doesn’t have a large Cambodian community. Fewer than 200 of the city’s roughly 130,000 people identify as Cambodian, according to the latest census.

National Post – Canada Immigration: Why Record Asylum Seekers Are Crossing Border from U.S.

A Nova Scotia organization that resettles LGBTQ refugees is adding its voice to calls for the federal government to make it easier for transgender and non-binary Americans to seek asylum in Canada. This comes amid a slew of anti-LGBTQ legislation that was recently passed in the United States, including Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law, Alabama’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth and Tennessee’s new anti-drag law, which prohibits drag performances in front of children.

But almost five years later, her daughters are still not in Canada, after their arrangement with the agency evolved into a dispute and the family found themselves with nowhere to turn for recourse.
