ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines Canadian civil society processes for articulating and advancing community interests in ways which hold the state accountable to its constitutional mandate. It focuses on migrant labour whose memberships in Canada have always been tenuous. The book then examines that the contemporary empowerment of civil society is attributable to the growth and divergence of intellectual capital through the international correlation of ideas and globalization of human concerns. It also explores that remnants of lingering colonialism are directed specifically at racialized persons and the working classes but collide with an active resistance to these old ideas. The book explores the experiences of those who face struggles of "not belonging" in Canadian society. It then introduces measures to rescind health care for refugee applicants. The book also examines aspects of the counterbalancing activated by civil society.
