Nova Scotia is known as a welcoming place. But is this reputation justified?

To answer this question we are joined by Aida Hachem Mrad from the Lebanese consulate and Mariana Carrera, a Mexican Canadian who has studied and worked in the field of immigration. Their perspectives and experiences offer new vistas for how we understand patterns of immigration to this part of Canada. The discussion concludes with reflection on how we in Nova Scotia can begin to move past the cultural and racial prejudices that have too often shaped how the province responds to immigrants.
