You've started reading the Daily Mail; I can sense it.

Its almost as bad as the argument of Im a Permanent Resident why are you deporting me I have been in Canada for X amount of time.
Well to put your mind at ease had you not have committed a serious criminal offence or received over 6 months imprisonment in Canada for a less serious offence and had taken out citizenship then CBSA wouldnt be shipping your ass back to where you came from.
If you want a Canadian passport then pledge allegiance.
If you dont want to be deported then take out Canadian citizenship.

I sometimes look at the Sidebar of Shame, looking for Death Pool candidates, yes. Were I a reader of the rest of the paper I would surely have written something more like:

Shock As Feckless Terrorist Immigrants Snub Our Dear Queen

before advocating that they be packed off in chains to some empty colony, Canada, or similar.

I think it would be "Fury"... the DM does like a "Fury" headline.

"Fury as Irish Republicans and Muslims fight to scrap Canada's Loyal Oath to HM"

For me... they are the requirements. If you don't like them, go somewhere else.

Can you imagine doing that in the US and saying " actually, I'd rather not pledge allegiance to the flag if it's all the same to you " ?

I hope they slap these three with the bill for bringing this to a court. And counter sue them for wasting the courts time.

Re: PR's don't want to pledge
 

I can't imagine the three much care, this must be more about the lawyer being bored with chasing ambulances or defending the mafia.

Re: PR's don't want to pledge
 

Yeah like thats gonna happen :lol:
Hopefully the 3 have not received legal aid or funding from other sources and have had to pay out of their own pockets. I guess if the Superior court rules against them they may then if eligible take it to the Federal Court of Canada or the Supreme Court of Canada on appeal costing taxpayers more money as the Govts lawyers will have to be paid. Eventually they will run out of appeals or money.

Maybe they should start working for Canada to become a Republic. I'm a very reluctant monarchist myself; it doesn't sit right with me to have heriditary inbreds in charge just cos they inherited the right by marrying each other.

Re: PR's don't want to pledge
 

I think the odd one or two in Quebec have tried something similar though they wanted to separate from Canada. I dont think they were going to call it the Republic of Quebec though.
Maybe we should have a referendum or vote on it it would only cost a couple of dollars. You could pick up a ballot at any Tim Hortons ensuring they capture most Canadians.

Re: PR's don't want to pledge
 

In what way are they in charge? They are less in charge than you are.

Re: PR's don't want to pledge
 

If I want citizenship in Canada and was eeligible then I'd have to do it, but that part of the oath would be a somewhat........ Empty pledge.

It'sfunny from a point of view as I used to be quite the royalist, but then I had children and decided to be against anyone holding a position the my children couldn't attain through hard work and dedication.

Re: PR's don't want to pledge
 

And before people start to say she's just a figurehead, in the UK she has an incredible amount of power (not sure about canada). Now if she exercised that power to the full extent I'm sure there would be a revolution, but none the less, she has a lot of power.
