Dear Mr. Volpe:
Last night, I received the confirmation letter for my citizenship application. I skimmed the “A Look at Canada”. I found the Oath of Citizenship. To enjoy the citizenship, I have to swear/affirm that I will be loyal to the Queen. I thought that there were many version of oath. I searched the Internet. I found out that there is only one version in English.
I like this country, the democracy, the freedom, the equity, etc. It is unbelievable that we have to be loyal to a specific person.
You are a brave man. I like you voted to change the Oath of Citizenship. Do you have any new information about that?
The reason why I oppose to swear/affirm to be loyal to her is:
Before February 1763, this land belonged to France. People lived here were loyal to France King. Since France lost the Seven Year’s War, France King gave this land to British Queen, since then people lived here should loyal to British Queen. If British Queen lost a new war, and she gives up this land, do we have to be loyal to another person?
Because the historical reason, I have no objection that we have her as the head of the state. However, it is difficult for me to swear/affirm that I will be loyal to her.
Yours sincerely
Jack |
