Liberal Senator and Blueridge resident Mobina Jaffer counts herself amongst the “luckiest refugees in the world.”
Not the most common of classifications, she admits, as those forced to flee their native countries are not always considered as such.
But as she approaches the 40th anniversary of her family’s exodus from their native Uganda, Jaffer smiles when she thinks about what she’s enjoyed in her years in Canada — not what she’s missed because she had to leave home.
“I’ve been very lucky and while I believe you create your own luck, one of the things I reflect on at this time of year is how people here accept you for who you are,” says Jaffer.
“Canadians are very special.”
Jaffer was born in Kampala, the Ugandan capital, to Ugandan-born parents of South-Asian descent. Her father was a Member of Parliament, her mother a probation officer.
After Idi Amin took control of the country in 1971 and began an eight-year reign of terror where hundreds of thousands of Ugandans were killed, Jaffer’s family left.
