    I think it could be considered cruel and unusual to force asylum seekers to live in Kanata.

      descendants of white colonizers

      Edit:

      You are kinda right, though:

      The city originally planned to put the structures in Barrhaven, but, after community pushback there, said one shelter would now be located near the Nepean Sportsplex and the other near the Eagleson Road Park and Ride in Kanata.

        Photo is of people white people brought here for indentured labour

        Anyways, my greater point is that we’ve been an immigrant nation for a good while now. Little rude to pull the ladder behind us.
