本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛watching the illegal boarder crossing crisis developing, I was surprised to learn that you and hundreds of my fellow Chinese Canadians stood up in front of Markham Civic Centre to voice your concerns. I was surprised because Chinese is known as “silent and passive”. Then instantly I felt sad.
Shouldn’t our elected government treat Canadians wellbeing as first priority? Shouldn’t they have known that majority of us are legal immigrants who abides the law and would like everyone to follow the rules? The answers lie in the following facts.
Justin Trudeau’s hashtag #welcometocanada was literally the summon of illegal border crossing.
Even after pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into this crisis, this government still has no sustainable plan to deal with it.
Knowing the illegal boarder crossers were not coming from war-torn country, knowing people is abusing the system using “anchor relatives “ technics, the government still keeps the de-facto open borders. Meanwhile, they don’t hesitate to label people who criticize them as “uncanadian” or “racist”.
So for me, it’s very clear that this is not the government I wanted, it’s not my government.
At same time, I know you and the hundreds of people attended the rally are one of us. And I am one of you. I know it when you were not afraid to standup to voice our concerns. I know it when you yelled with all your strength: “we love Canada”. Yes, we didn’t come here to stay, we came here to live, to raise our children. This is our home now!
I may not in full agreement with you in every single little details, but I am in 100 percent agreement with you this country deserves better government and we deserve better treatment. We may not speak perfect English, but it doesn’t invalidate our love to this country. We aren’t just a bunch of taxpayers whose sole power is to pay the tax. We have our demands and our demands will be answered.
Regrettably, you decided to withdraw from mayoral race. However, as you have put it, the effort you and the hundreds of fellow Chinese Canadians put up was not wasted unnoticed. With that, please accept my wholehearted gratitude.
I will see you in the voting booth. I will see you in the next petition. I will see you in the street canvassing.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
