The civil unrest and violent clashes between civilians and a highly corrupt Bangladesh government are heartbreaking to watch—particularly for immigrants like Ibrahim, who have many family and friends back home impacted by this conflict.

The ultimate aim is to pursue peace and justice towards genuine democracy.

Unfortunately, Bangladesh needs a civil uprising to force an overdue change of government. Canada is a model for democracy around the world.

Thank you, Steve, for encouraging Ibrahim to raise the Bangladesh flag under our Canadian flag. Your flagpole attached to our A3 dock at the Toronto Island Marina inspires and educates many, fostering a sense of connection, contribution, significance, and belonging.
