Senator Ratna Omidvar has dedicated her life to strengthening migration, diversity, and inclusion, through roles as president of the Maytree Foundation, the head of Ryerson's Global Diversity Exchange, and her continued work with the World Refugee Council.
On this episode, Ratna and Nate discuss what was missing in the throne speech, reasons to better support charities and essential migrant workers, why the Safe Third Country Agreement needs to go, her bill to support the forcibly displaced, and how Canada's future success depends on immigration.
