There is quite a bit of interesting commentary and stories in the Toronto Star on the new Canadian ambassador to the Dominican Republic, Alvin Curling. He has yet to arrive.
He is a Jamaican immigrant who succeeded in mainstream Canadian politics. He surpassed two major obstacles, being an immigrant and being black.
From what I have read he is a champion of education.
Those interested should register with the Toronto Star to read these stories. Just do a search typing in Alvin Curling.
His predecessor, Adam Blackwell, was very popular here, so he has doors open.
Prior to his appointment he was speaker of hte Ontario Legislature and the first black cabinet minister in the province's history.
