Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said Friday he has experienced racial profiling first-hand in Canada, and he's calling on his fellow Liberals to fight racism. And while he doesn't think racism is as prevalent here as it is in some other countries, Hussen said Canada must do more to confront it. When you're at the table, think about how you can expand that table," he said. As many countries struggle with an anti-immigrant backlash, Hussen said it's critical to avoid feeding racial and cultural anxieties through "fearmongering." "We need to showcase why Canada needs immigration, because the data doesn't lie," he said.
