Book Review: We, the Others: Allophones, Immigrants, and Belonging in Canada by Toula Drimonis

Toula Drimonis writes about immigrants and allophones (non-English, non-French mother tongue) in modern Quebec society, talking about integration of immigrants and how broader society evolves in response. Her story, as the daughter of Greek immigrants, overlaps with mine in some ways.

Western Newfoundland, April 6-9, 2023

Marble Mountain, arguably better than Tremblant; unarguably fewer lines. Gros Morne in the winter.
