Community leaders and new immigrants see hope for working with a minority Liberal government – but the work had to start yesterday, they say.
While neither the issues nor the members of the various diasporas across Canada are homogenous, most advocates seem to agree that as a matter of strategy, a minority Liberal government presents the best chance of meeting their needs.
“The social policies of the Liberals make a stronger appeal to humanity,” Enzo Moreno, the director of the Centro Cultural Latino Americano, says in Spanish as we sit in the backyard. The Centro rests in Little Jamaica, an immigrant-heavy, working-class neighbourhood in the northwest end of Toronto, within the Eglinton-Lawrence riding.
