WHY CONVERSATIONS LIKE AMAL CLOONEY/NICK CLOONEY NEED TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN – ESPECIALLY IN CANADA

She is one of the most well-known faces in law and a voice for women even when she doesn’t speak. He is a world-renown journalist and  “A Journey to Darfur” activist. What happens when these two come together for a human rights conversation and speaking on the unexpected vacation destinations that hold a growing amount of ISIS recruitments? Something Canada, and the world need to hear more often, covering points that we need to salvage to create a sense of balance, realizing it or not. Mrs.Clooney spoke on her visit to the Maldives. While tourists were sipping on fruitful drinks, she barely could dip her toes into the incredibly clear waters, on her way to court and jail, something Amal and visitors didn’t have in common. One exposed to crisis, others exposed to the warm sun on their faces. Early of this year, reports show that the Maldives went into a state of emergency as issues deepened towards our youth. Places like India and surrounding countries were concerned of growing fundamentalism, where juvenescence been lured to join ISIS – states The Economic Times. Though the Maldives minister of tourism has declared the country ‘safe’ we can’t help but ignore the human rights crisis Mrs. Clooney has and still fighting for. Another topic that co-insides is the safety of journalists, which I quickly went from a small slouch to perfect posture. You could tell in Nick Clooney’s face, the lack of optimism he once had even before his statement on the current affairs with more journalists being imprisoned since records began 30 years ago. Studying journalism and later continuing my education in social justice on a personal note, it’s dishearting to see the black hole of heroic journalists are being thrown into. It’s growing amidst the un-needed quick development of pop culture spread.

The conversation slowly moved on to the importance of refugees and economics. Proudly and confidently Mrs.Clooney spoke how grateful she was via personal experience to enter a country that showed compassion to the community, and economic benefits for refugees having proper education, to put back into the country of chosen. I had to think about how this provides a small link to cases that are happening here. Though Canada is known for the land of free and diversity is our strength, controversial news in Toronto, or should I say #onpoli has been filled with tweets and conversation in regards to the 800 migrants (asylum seekers) currently housed in college dormitories. John Tory, the current mayor of Toronto and re-elect candidate for 2018, mayoral election has sparked rapid viewpoints of citizens across the city. Toronto, currently not providing proper care or housing for homeless veterans and youth homelessness crisis growing, Mr.Tory and refugee agencies claim they are running low on resources and the option of shutting down community centers and programs for these migrants are very soon to become reality. Those on social media platforms have expressed concern for students returning to their residency they have paid for, the un-need of the a billion dollar subway expansion investment, capping the border for illegal immigration and even why they are not being sent to a city like Ottawa, where Mr.Trudeau resides, based on his decision to rescue.

Mrs. Clooney even subjected the discussion of human trafficking in Toronto, is one of the main hubs, which raises another issue for investment especially deepening into the futuristic pool for females. So the question here is, putting an end to un-needed budget for glamourizing subway maintenance and not electing the right people to create a chance of balance while helping motherland citizens/current citizens of Canada the answer?

Well certainly, $1 beer isn’t going to solve any political problems.
