Canada Quotes

“Clarkson drew on her personal experience as a refugee to talk about citizenship as an idea and as a legal category across time and space. At one point, she noted that immigrants to Canada, before they become citizens, are ‘permanent residents’, whereas immigrants to the United States, before they become citizens, are ‘resident aliens’. The difference between permanent residents and resident aliens, she intimated, is the difference between Canada and the United States.”
