Repatriating thousands of Canadians stuck abroad
While most are isolating at home, hundreds of thousands of Canadians remain stranded abroad, with their families searching for answers. Canada’s foreign affairs minister François-Philippe Champagne calls the work of repatriating them, one of the most complex foreign affairs missions in Canadian history. Adrian Cheung talks to two guests for this episode: Scaachi Koul, culture writer for BuzzFeed News, who has two immunocompromised parents stuck in India, and Toronto Star’s immigration reporter Nicholas Keung, on why repatriation is proving so difficult and what the Canadian government is doing to bring them home.
