I am disgusted that the Globe and Mail cannot distinguish between a refugee's nationality and their place of birth. It is pure unadulterated racism and doggerel journalism. My mother's only certainty of her place of birth was that there was a Tsar but the land she was born under considered her non Russian, non Polish, non Ukrainian..she was a Jew. Citizenship and culture and place of origin for a "DP" as my mother was often crudely called was what the family was..not some piece of paper issued by or..not.. issued as in the case of Afghan refugees living in Iran. Fife ought to be ashamed of his article. We don't need a Trump attitude here. I will not buy the Globe and Mail until they apologize for their racist ignorance of the real situation out in the ambiguous and dangerous world of refugees. Minister Monsef is exactly what she said she is...an Afghan refugee who like my mom was a displaced person, an Afghan refugee who found a safe haven here  and proudly wears the Maple Leaf.
