The New Democratic candidate for Kingston and the Islands moved to Canada as a refugee when she was 16 and her experiences living in her home country of the Democratic Republic of Congo have pushed her to work to solve some of the inequalities in Canada that she saw in Africa. “I’ve lived war since I was five years old, probably
