This is cute! But actually Quebec City, not Montreal.

This charmed me to tears. We all of us face displacement with globalization in one form or another; I think this message is simple enough to speak to all of us, no matter our own circumstances of leaving home. Climate change and upheaval make it so much worse for some. You could see some of the kids in the video were maybe not as ready to be excited about this theme. I can't help but think these kids are incredibly, incredibly lucky to have landed in Canada, in the hands of this caring and gifted teacher.

Mod note: Edited the title - sorry for the delay. Just for future people's reference, if you need an edit, flag it or contact form, since we don't always see just a comment.
