    This is not an explanation as to WHY foreigners shouldn’t vote. You are merely regurgitating our existing rules. Surly you get this :p Again: Canada shares thousands of miles or borders, they’re our trade partners, they share many of our values. We are a meltingpot nation built of foreigners… There are reasons why we could. But you know its inherintly bankrupt, which is fine, because it is a bankrupt idea. I’d love to tell you reasons why, but thats kind of your onus at this point.

    I think absent parents are synonymous with nonparents. They’re literally not parenting, lol. I know, Im not a lingustic expert but I think most people would agree. I think this is actually a breakthrough for us. You seem to think parenting is the act of having children, I think parenting is the act of raising children. Interesting.

    Im not really taken by your partisanism or your (boring) research :p Oh, dont get all bent up, notice how you are not persuaded by evidence-based argumentation despite spending 1/2 our time demanding it. Its a funny life.

      It’s absolutely a reason why they shouldn’t vote. They don’t pay taxes here, they don’t need or deserve representation because of this. It’s so simple you are unable to grasp it.

      That’s great that you think that, but legally they are still a parent with a child so by Musks suggestion, they’d still be able to vote. You seem to be confusing philosophical thought exercises with legal definitions and real world applications.

      So let me know if you ever come up with some evidence that suggests limiting voters to parents only would be a net benefit. Again, doesn’t need to be studies. Isn’t there some research on voting patterns and ideals of parents vs non-parents? I already gave one example but it doesn’t support your argument, quiet the opposite exactly. Your one study showed that parents don’t stop smoking weed, just slow down a little bit, so you can’t really argue they are better because they don’t smoke weed since that’s not true.

      Until then, feel free to respond with more nonsense, I’ll just stop responding until you formulate an actual argument for your position.

        We just had a breakthrough :] Canadians don’t pay taxes. That’s right! Finally some insight from you. Is it presumptuous for me to think you’re cool with this limitation? What about other current limitations? What about literacy… How will the illiterate make their selections otherwise? Are you really a member of society if you dont know the language… However many think that this would be ‘voter suppression.’ The bar is literally that low.

        Ive known of plenty of people who’ve had their children removed from their custody. Are they still ‘parenting’ when their child is a ward of the State? There is nuance to be found here. Not to mention the actual legal definition isn’t as you claim…

        So smoking less weed is not an improvement? They should instead just keep smoking joints in the living room with the toddler at the TV? Surely this doesnt actually appeal to you. Smoking less weed means more net-income and more short-term memory. This is not controversial.

        Imagine doing so little to move the conversation and being indignant about the way it goes :]
