by T. John Samuel
From the publisher
Many Avatars; One Life - Challenges, Achievements and the Future, narrates the life's journey of a Canadian immigrant. His many incarnations range from a farm boy driving a bullock cart in a rustic village to a jetsetter for the Canadian Government, the United Nations and the ILO from Tunisia to Indonesia and Mexico to Melbourne. It's an incredible story of an immigrant who made stellar contributions to Canada by: Strategizing to double the country's annual immigration intake; Helping to fight racism; and Guiding developing countries to improve family planning programs Anecdotes cited throughout this fast-paced life story include: Discussions with two Canadian prime ministers on high-level policy issues; Prime Minister Jean Chretien's comment, before he assumed office, "Quebeckers are racists"; Prime Minister Brian Mulroney wanted to boost immigration levels annually to 300,000; and How the blue-blooded "master manipulators" at Foreign Affairs became red-faced."
