“Very important community from Haiti, also from northern Africa… things are changing across the country,” Joly said when asked about the result.
So we're not supposed to talk about the people whose ancestors built this country as a distinct group with distinct cultural interests, but we can applaud new people who show up and change the political fabric of the country to suit their particular interests? ……. https://t.co/wQna6PXCbS
