“The beginning of [the Sackville Refugee Coalition] was back in September, when the picture of Alyan Kurdi was published - the small boy who was found drowned on the Turkish coast.
My wife and I ended up speaking to a number of people to ask “is there anything we can do in Sackville to sponsor a family”, but no one knew where to start. So finally my wife put up an ad in the paper to call for a meeting in the chapel. Over a hundred people showed up. Out of the public meeting, we [created the] Sackville Refugee Coalition.”
“Was there a moment that transform you into who you are now?”
“[My life experiences haven’t been] singularly transformative…but several years ago I remember travelling in Israel, in the West Bank. I was sitting in a home of an Israeli who lived in west Jerusalem. We were looking out of the window and there were some boys kicking a soccer ball around an empty lot.
And there were two young soldiers, probably in their early 20s, standing on the edge of the lot. One time the ball got kicked towards the soldiers, and they kicked it back. The boys kicked it over again - I think it was less accidental, more deliberate - and the soldiers kicked it back. It went over a few more times. And there were grins on everybody’s faces.
Then an army jeep drove up. The captain or lieutenant got out. And there was a sharp exchange of words between him and the soldiers. So they went back into standing in their positions, ignoring the boys and the soccer ball.
I thought wow, for that one moment, these two sides became human. That’s what we want - to be human to each other. We don’t want these systems of army security getting in the way of preventing people from being human to each other. I think, that’s how we break down some of these barriers.
If we have one or two Syrian families in this town, there will be people who are opposed to that. But I’m hopeful at some point some of these people will get to know these Syrian families living in their backyard. Then they will realize these are people [just like them]. When we get to know people, we lose our fear.”

So this chap, a 'community leader' / 'diversity builder' has no other cause to help the people who live in this town... and he has the utter gaul and arrogance to believe that he can speak for an entire town of people whose concerns are completely irrelevant to him... its truly sickening. "Seeding Sackville for Diversity" is the goal of racist anti-white social justice windbags.. 'diversity' just means less whiteness and more people from foreign countries.. as a EuroCanadian I do not consent to this effort/business model... photo from Humans of Sackville, rev. John Perkin, global citizen, refugee resettlement minion .. see more on this 'so called industry' at Ann Corcoran's facebook page "Refugee Resettlement Watch"..
Curious as to why "Humans of Sackville" featured this rev. twice with a few year's time? Push back...
Its actually an open understanding that Mount Allison is preparing students for the global citizenship.. most Canadians have no idea about this university-created 'movement' ....
