Description

“Are these… 18th century working conditions?” Gabriel Allahdua asks. Gabriel came from St. Lucia to work on a farm as part of the Temporary Foreign Worker program.  He describes the long hours, difficult working conditions and his disappointment over speaking to a Parliamentary committee that’s reviewing the TFW program. Justicia for Migrant Workers put us in touch with Gabriel.   Are Canadian politicians bending gender norms? Jerald Sabin, a research associate at the Carleton Centre for Community Innovation, talks about a study on masculinity in the last election, co-authored by Kyle Kirkup.   And a new segment where Supriya gets mad at Twitter.Support COMMONS: http://commonspodcast.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
