Oh, the french government proposed sending troops to Canada?

And what about Canadian expats voting from abroad? Should we put an end to that too? What about Canadian soldiers, diplomats, businessmen, military family members, etc.? They should be banned from voting from abroad so as to not offend other nations' sovereignty in case they come to believe the election will mean we'll suddenly invade them militarily?

Paranoia abounds.

Oh yes, and what about the Vatican's Swiss Guards? So should we ban all catholics in Canada from participating in any Vatican election for popes in case the Swiss Guard decides to attack?

Canada, as part of North America, has a seat in the French National Assembly, and that representative votes in Paris on issues from a Canada-France perspective. France is claiming a form of political sovereignty in Canada because, right now, in Paris, French nationals, in Canada, have a representative in Paris.
