So, I once lived on a billionaires’ island. I have been thinking of writing a book about it for years. It struck me that it was probably what informed my understanding of the world for the last 2 decades. I just always thought that no one would care, like no one cared about the Haitian boat people who often ended up drowned in their waters. Witnessing the stark contrast between those two groups and how not one of the many, many, many people who profited off their misery in the form of cheap labour with no rights did anything to help them. I love dogs, but there was more compassion for the feral dogs than the black people who built their palaces. It’s important to note that there were a lot of Canadians there who were not exactly the best of us. It isn’t a great story, but I still feel that people need to know and think about when choosing their vacation destinations.
