In this episode of the Global Voices Podcast, Migrant Worker Rights in Canada, we dive into the complexities and challenges faced by migrant workers in Canada. Host Bernice Mwaura is joined by two notable guests; Professor Ethel Tungohan and Gabriel Allahdua, to explore Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker program in all its facets, while exposing the systemic abuse and issues that require reform.Meet the Speakers: Gabriel Allahdua is a former migrant farm worker from St Lucia, an island in the Eastern Caribbean. He has been an organizer with the collective, Justicia for Migrant Workers (J4MW) for almost a decade. He is currently an Outreach Worker working with migrant workers across Ontario. He was Activist in Residence (AIR) at the University of Guelph, the first person to hold that position, which brought activists and researchers together. He is the author of the recently published award winning book 'Harvesting Freedom' published by Between the Lines.Ethel Tungohan is an Associate Professor of Politics and a Canada Research Chair in Canadian Migration Policy, Impacts and Activism at York University. Her research looks at social movements, immigration and labour policy, and Canadian/comparative politics. She recently published, 'Care Activism: Migrant Domestic Workers, Movement Building and Communities of Care,' which won the National Women's Studies Association First Book Prize.Note: Since the recording of this episode, Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has announced a new and enhanced pilot program for Caregivers set to grant permanent residence status on arrival. While this does seem to be a step in the right direction; a number of barriers still exist including meeting the language requirement for the program. It is yet to be seen whether the program will truly encompass all the recommendations migrant rights organizations have been calling for. About the Podcast:Through the third season of the Tapestry 2030 Podcast: Global Voices, a few members of the Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC) Youth Policy-Makers Hub (YPH) are aiming to amplify key global issues from the perspective of voices often unheard or excluded from policy and international development conversations. Learn more about the work of OCIC.

When Castro neighbors see Erica McGary doing outreach, they sometimes assume she's a volunteer. But McGary works for the Department of Public Health, and it's her job to get to know people in the neighborhood — whether they're unhoused, working or have a home or apartment there. Building relationships with chronically homeless people and newcomers alike helps foster trust in city services, which can be a major obstacle to accessing services. The approach has already helped several people find a path to housing, shelter or treatment, and the city intends to replicate it in other neighborhoods. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Fixing Our City is part of the San Francisco Chronicle's SFNext Project Got a tip, question, comment?

Liz, Outreach Worker for Oxford Inc. and a Kentucky native, joins Ty at the studio and discusses many challenging topics. Some will call her brave, and that she is, but it is also safe to say she is working an "honest program" because healing and recovering from a past riddled with active addiction and the need to fit in is essential to her health and success for years to come. She shares growing up in poverty and a dark moment in her past when she lost her young sister at three years old to murder. After what she thought was finding her tribe, drinking and drugs became her norm. After years of substance use and toxic relationships, Liz found herself in jail often. The mother of three shares her vulnerabilities from a place of honesty and transparency. She also updates us on all the great things Oxford Inc. is up to in the State of Illinois.www.myrecoverypodcast.comwww.facebook.com/recoveryuncensoredwww.twitter.com/recoveryuncens1

Steve Keeley, reporter for Fox29, returns to the Dom Giordano Program to tell of a fascinating story he's uncovered with SEPTA. Keeley reports that SEPTA is facing new questions after he uncovered that the organization hired a woman who previously pled guilty in a murder case for their new outreach program. First, Giordano and Keeley discuss the organization of SEPTA, with Giordano asking Keeley whether the Board actually does anything, or just uses their positions for politics. Then, Giordano asks Keeley about Erica Sanchez, the subject of his new investigation, with Keeley explaining that he remembered her murdering a man from his time reporting, explaining that SEPTA seemingly does not vet their candidates for their outreach programs. Keeley tells about his questioning of the SEPTA brass, and tells about SEPTA's program in-depth. (Photo by William Thomas Cain/Getty Images)
