David Miller mayor of Toronto wants landed immigrants have the right to vote and his reasoning is that they dedicated their lives to this city and are using all the city services and they should have a say about those services.
Poor Mayor Miller doesn’t get it that voting equates to power because power can create the ultimate change and that is why voting is a privilege only to those that made a legal commitment by keeping this country in their hearts in the federal, provincial and municipal level.
Can you imagine if the landed immigrant had the right to vote?
The incentive to apply for citizenship will disappear.
Canada’s identity would disappear because no need to learn the history of this great country.
Landed immigrants would eventually have the right to run for government positions and they would eventually change the laws to suite their needs.
Landed immigrants have it way better than when my parents were landed immigrants.
My parents never got golden handshake when they came to the shores of Canada.
No free healthcare
No free housing
No welfare
When they reached the shores of Canada they were told, “work or starve or go back home.”
My parents worked hard for five years (in those days it was five years) until they got their Canadian Citizenship.
Then we started a new family tradition every time an election we discussed the people that was running around the dinner table and on Election Day we voted because of our right as Canadian Citizenship.
Toronto’s Mayor Miller just doesn’t understand and since he is an NDPer I only have to presume that the New Democrats want to take away more rights from Canadians.
This is why I feel Mayor Miller of Toronto is wrong.
