COMMUNITY FOCUSED
An Insight Into Our Vision For a Better Tomorrow ALYSSA YSSA MAHADEO/TORONTO CARIBBEAN If we take a look at all of the news that we have received over the years it is clear to see that the media has corrupted the way we think and has distorted the views and opinions of the masses. The overwhelming amount of negativity has increased, causing a social stigma where the message of the world has changed from love into hate without us realizing it. Activists who fought for our freedom for us to rise above that negativity included well known and respected individuals like Bob Marley, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi and Mother Teresa had a clear vision of the world, one
that included all of the different races, heritages and cultures uniting them as one. This year in hopes of bringing us all closer together, and help refocus our vision of the future the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper will use their platform to provide a voice through which the community can share and communicate their ideas to promote positive change. Although we are branded as a Caribbean Newspaper, it is important for us to remember that Toronto is a melting pot of different races, religions and cultures. No one race is above the other and we must take pride in the multicultural-
ism of our city, as it allows for us to experience the diversity of the world. The world has come a long way, over the centuries granting rights, privileges and equality, ensuring us that everyone can be treated with the respect of humanity. However, many events over the last few years have affected our stance of standing together as one. These days we often hear reports of racism, hate crimes and protesting of rights that we thought our ancestors had fought for long before. Continued On Page 5
