CTV News – Wife of the ‘Humboldt Driver’ Pleads for Mercy

After almost a decade in Canada, Tanvir Mann became a Canadian citizen two months ago. What should have been a proud moment is now marred by the reality of just how far she is from the Canadian dream. On March 3, her husband’s bid to stay in this country was denied.

There’s no word for dementia in Gill’s mother tongue, Punjabi, and most of the resources she could find to share with her parents were in English and not culturally specific.
