昨天我在一个投票站作义工12个小时, 只见到一个会讲汉语的香港孩子. 而从选民名单上看, 使用中国姓氏的有几十个.

It is unfortunate that a large number of Chinese Canadians
do not appreciate the importance of their right to vote
and choose not to exercise the right.

Some even take pride in never having gone to vote !
What a misguided pride !

Chinese Canadians only got the right to vote
federally and in various provinces after the second world war,
during which Chinese Canadians volunteered to fight for Canada.

It is the right and duty of every Canadian to vote.
My mother understands it.
So do her elderly friends.

They always exercise their right to vote
in every city, provincial and federal elections.

我发贴的用意也是鼓励大家去投票.我是傍晚去的.当工作人员在选民名单上找到我的名字并划上记号时,我发现我名字上下的许多中国人姓氏还都是空白.投票完毕在投票站门口看见一个另一种族的老妇人坐出租来投票,很是感慨.

To Wonder:
就是在巴黎,警察也不能因为我不会法语而不按法律办事.要不怎么叫现代民主社会.我们背井离乡图的是活得有尊严,我们学着适应不等与让那些混家伙随意对待而还觉得很正常.

你说得不错。但还是学会融入吧！ 别的省的法语服务不会比这里的英语服务多 这里是法语区，很正常。

我不反对法语的社会文化.加拿大宪法规定的是英法双语为官方语言.我不喜欢的是有些人因为我不会法语而给我hard time. 地铁里宣布紧急通知从来都是法语的.我唯一的一次享受英语服务是通勤火车涨价通知为双语.以前取消班次紧急通知都只有法语.很多细节慢慢才有体会.

鬼鬼见愁愁

无论如何，加拿大政府都没有赎金，票烂在手里挺可惜的－－不投，就干脆撕票吧
