Dishes Out: Just Assimilate Already

Canadian Salad ·

2024/09/06

Send us a textJoin us in our 'Dishes Out,' as we clap back and spill the tea on the same old anti-immigrant comments. People really are bent on assimilation - not towards foods, music or art - but people. Yup - people. People want people to be the same when they come to Canada. So we serve up a sassy rebuttal to this timeless rhetoric and remind all of us that being who we are and bringing everything about us to Canada is what makes Canadian culture - not assimilation. Tune in every Frid...

Defining Us

Canadian Salad ·

2024/09/03

Send us a textHow do you define yourself? Is it based on where you originated from? Your ancestors? Your race? In a colonial system, why must we have to defend who we are? Isn’t how we self-identify enough? In August of this year, the Federal Government awarded billions of dollars to non-verified Indigenous businesses. Proving who we are to a system which tells us who we need to be isn’t living our human experience at all. As the backdrop for our kick off of the second season of Canadian...

Canadian Salad ·

2024/07/26

Send us a Text Message.Sadly again, the X platform was alive and full of fire with a recent post citing hate towards migrants from India to Canada. The claim: they're illiterate, with low class backgrounds and with no civic duty. It's a comment that anti-immigrant and anti-migrant noise makers, influencers and media channels are using to spread lies and misinformation. Migrants are people with dreams, ambition, and gut. Their worth is inherent and not based upon them being able to speak ...

Send us a Text Message.On Sunday, July 21st, Vice President Kamala Harris was endorsed by the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, to run as the Democratic Party candidate for president. If nominated, Kamala would become the first person ever of South Asian descent and one of the few Black women in US history to headline a major US political party's ticket. Yes, she is a political leader in the US but what does it mean for Canada?Canada has yet to have a woman of colour elected ...

Dishes Out: Mr. Marc Miller and His "Quality" Immigrants

Canadian Salad ·

2024/07/19

Send us a Text Message.Mr. Marc Miller has done it again. At a recent citizenship event in Calgary, Mr. Miller stated that Canada needs "more diversity, more qualified, more talented bunch of people". Putting immigrants into camps of "quality" doesn't sound like a very quality statement. We provide immigration pathways for immigrants but deny them jobs after university, deny their skills they came with and pay them unliveable wages. Seems to us the quality assurance Mr. Miller is looking for ...

"Horrific act.""Political violence is never acceptable." "I am sickened by the shooting at former president Trump.""I condemn in strongest terms the attempted murder of former president Trump today."From Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Canada's Ambassador to the UN Bob Rae, most all of Canada's political leaders had something to say of the assassination attempt of former U.S. president, Mr. Donald Trump. Canada reacted. With heightened calls for non-violence, strengthening security and calls...

Dishes Out: Entitled Immigrants

Canadian Salad ·

2024/07/12

"The new immigrants are entitled!" People have their opinions barring when it comes to immigrants speaking up for themselves. Recently, a consumer of the internets, a browser of the socials, stated that the immigrants coming to Canada are entitled. Hostion and Andrea? Well, we're speaking up for ourselves and for the immigrants who are used to keeping their head down, their mouths shut and their rights abused. No more. Everyone deserves human rights, no matter their immigration status.In...

Canadian "Values"

Canadian Salad ·

2024/07/09

In a recent report conducted by Leger and the National Post, 70% of Gen Z and Millennial respondents agreed that immigrants coming to Canada should be screened for "sharing common Canadian values". What is even more interesting is that Statistics Canada also wrote a report showcasing the difference between Canadian-born and immigrants, and how they perceive these Canadian values. Hostion and Andrea unpack why this question is up for debate and examine the reality of most immigrants who c...

Dishes Out: Out of Control, Open Borders

Canadian Salad ·

2024/07/05

On Canada Day this year, a large anti-immigrant protest was led by a group called 'Take Back Canada'. Their sentiment is that immigration is way out of control and that immigrants are to blame for the housing crisis and the lack of opportunities for Canadian-born people. While this group does not advocate for Indigenous rights or cultural equity, they do feel it necessary to blame immigrants for policies immigrants have nothing to do with. Hostion and Andrea unpack this word-trope salad and e...

The Dichotomy of Canada Day

Canadian Salad ·

2024/07/02

July 1st in Canada - a.k.a creation of the Constitution, a.k.a. The Chinese Exclusion Act, a.k.a. Dominion Day, or as we presently know it, Canada Day. So much painful history in this country. And so much joy at the same time. How do we make sense of this colonial holiday while making space for those who truly value the rights and freedoms they have found here? Andrea and Hostion will unpack the complex feelings, the ones that seem to oppose each other but actually inform us fully to pos...

Dishes Out: Science Says I Can't Your Name

Canadian Salad ·

2024/06/28

One of our most recent TikTok posts received over 8,000 views (don't laugh, that's a lot for us). What was it about? It was about how often people will lazily call an immigrant another name because their name is just "too difficult" to say. While there were many supportive people, there were some haters, naysayers and even scientists!! Who knew! We're dishing out. A person's name shouldn't make you defensive - if it does, well then I guess I'll just call them 'Joe'.Go to Canadian Salad Websit...

Music: The Other Immigrant From Home

Canadian Salad ·

2024/06/25

Music is powerful. It draws us into places that we know and sometimes into places we have yet to be. As immigrants, sometimes music is the traveller with us, the solace when we're lonely and the means to connect in a new culture.Join Andrea and her friend Álvaro Moreno as they discuss the immigrant we rarely talk about: music. Álvaro landed as a refugee to Canada over 30 years ago. His love of home and love of music did not wane, and in fact, became a part of his integration into a new world ...

Dishes Out: You Must Hate it Here

Canadian Salad ·

2024/06/21

We recently were told that since we are being critical of things in Canada, then we must hate it here. Unfortunately, that kind of logic only allows for one feeling or one expression at a time. We're human! We don't hate our partner because we criticized them for never doing their share of the housework. We can hold appreciation and criticism at the same time. It's not about one side or the other. Being critical isn't necessarily out of hate, more often, it's out of love. Join us dishing...

Dishes Out: White Men Gave Us Everything

Canadian Salad ·

2024/06/14

Did you know that Hostion and Andrea were told recently that the only reason they have anything is because white men gave them everything? It's true. And to pause, reflect and express gratitude, we're dishing it out on this episode. It's the narrative that people hold but we're not letting it stand. There is a lot that we have in which white men, honestly, did nothing. Silly people. Go to Canadian Salad Website for cited resources in this episode. Theme music by Nver Avetyan from Pixabay...

Where Are You From?

Canadian Salad ·

2024/06/11

Cue the cringe music because most of us have either asked someone this question OR we have been asked this question directly. It's a question that most people who are being racially profiled or who may speak with an accent get asked. And for many of us white folks, it's a question we use to displace a person (even if we think it's us being 'curious').Why does this question harm people so much? What is this micro aggression really saying to people from ethnically and culturally diverse backgro...

Dishes Out: When Politicians Dehumanize

Canadian Salad ·

2024/06/07

We are appalled that an elected official recently blamed immigrants for a hate crime that is still under investigation. Listen to Hostion and Andrea dish it out in response to the Premier of Ontario Doug Ford and his comments that hurt, hate and dehumanize immigrants. There is no room for hateful incidents against Jewish people within Canada and there is no room for hateful comments against immigrants for something that they did not do.For the whole news story: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
