Thanks to Monique Durand for her wonderful text of July 2, “These windows of our lives”, which warms and jostles, as usual.
The window open to the world “sometimes sends us back to ourselves” in front of this same window, a coffee in hand, pensive about the “I should have”, or impatient to undertake something that has dragged on for too long. In front of this window, sheltered from the cold and the winds, in its warm light, the image now comes to me of these windows shattered by the blast of a Russian missile and of all these ravaged lives which have no more than the wall of a basement or the window of a train leading to exile where they can lose their gaze.
Canada, a member of the G7 (rich and powerful countries), given its limited military capabilities, should raise the bar on the number of Ukrainian refugees, mainly women and children, and support them as much as the host country prides itself on being. Adding embassies is all well and good, but it is through concrete actions that Canada must respond to the horrors perpetrated by Putin’s Russia. A more ambitious reception of Ukrainian refugees is morally and strategically necessary.
