Is our global refugee system collapsing?

This isn’t about hard choices. It is life & death for many

A very sobering read on the current situation in Canada and what the future may hold. As a Canadian working and living abroad, who always dreams of returning home along with my family, it left me stunned.

The past decade 🇨🇦 has had an immigration policy w no substantive plan, reactive in nature, & focused only on knee jerk responses
Now from scaling back on refugees, Sudan programs that don’t function, & global aid cuts, 🇨🇦 is redefining our place in the world. Not in a good way

This is what #digital & #financial #inclusion looks like in #Africa. It’s more than a bank account. It’s the journey of climbing the financial ladder to access insurance & markets, to instill resilience in tough times, & enable growth in the good times.

AI made me look 10 years younger, but it also reminded me how easily truth can be distorted. In a world of deepfakes and false narratives, remember: perception isn’t always reality. I have witnessed first hand how systems & institutions are manipulated to create false narratives.

Inspiring words from @Pontifex. My prayer is that more of us focus beyond the simplicity of the bottom line & place deeper emphasis on the meaning & impact of not only our business but on those we partner & work with. Let us not build empires but empower communities.
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex
The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"

Absolutely agree. African banks have an opportunity to be catalytic players in driving economic growth across the continent.The mindset shift amongst financial sector leaders is the key in the months ahead. Many great bank leaders already in place to tackle this next phase.

@NicholasCoghlan I’ve been comfortable with so much I’ve heard from this new PM, except for this. This feels sloppy and shortsighted. You’ve seen first hand in your career the impact 🇨🇦 can have. At this moment we have an obligation to uphold, rather than walking away like others.
