Moonlight Graham Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) I propose that before any Canadian citizen casts a vote during an election that they be required to recite an oath of allegiance to Canada and/or the Queen of Canada. In the USA kids recite a pledge of allegiance. We don't do such things in Canada (as far as I know). If you're born in Canada, you don't have to have any loyalty to the country besides following the laws. You can run off and fight for ISIS and return. You can be a dual citizen and have your true loyalty with another country, and vote with those loyalties in your heart. You can be a Quebecois nationalist born in Canada and want the destruction of Canada and never have to declare your loyalty to the country. How about we separate the snakes who are disloyal citizens of convenience from the loyal Canadians. We'd see how many oaths people refuse to take. Even this proposal itself would cause uproar from the traitors. Thoughts?

Yzermandius19 Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) voter suppression over 9000 mandatory swearing an oath before voting is dumb it doesn't weed out the disloyal they can just pledge the oath and not believe a word of it and vote however they please plenty of those who would be against mandatory oath swearing would be loyal to the country America does not require it's citizens to pledge allegiance to vote loyal Americans would consider that totalitarian bullshit, because it is you should be able to vote for the destruction of Canada, nothing wrong with that, and you shouldn't have to pledge allegiance to it before you do Vive le Quebec libre!

The Queen wants you to kiss her feet and be ever loyal to all the domains she reigns over. Bow down and pucker up. Why is it ok for MPs to be required to swear an oath to the Queen of Canada but not citizens when voting? Voting and running for office are both rights guaranteed in Section 3 of the Charter: Quote In Figueroa v Canada (AG) the court determined that Section 3 explicitly grants both the right to vote and the right to run for office to all Canadian citizens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_3_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms Quote Before taking their seats and voting in the House of Commons, duly-elected Members must take an oath or make a solemn affirmation of allegiance or loyalty to the Sovereign and sign the Test Roll (a book whose pages are headed by the text of the oath or affirmation). When Members swear or solemnly affirm allegiance to the Queen as Sovereign of Canada, they are also swearing or solemnly affirming allegiance to the institutions the Queen represents, including the concept of democracy. https://www.ourcommons.ca/procedure-book-livre/document.aspx?amp%2525252525253bsbpidx=13&language=e&sbdid=2AE20CBE-E824-466B-B37C-8941BBC99C37&sbpid=457E8854-C70D-4A8A-B0E0-7AD72D703B65 Quote "All generalizations are false, including this one." - Mark Twain Partisanship is a disease of the intellect.

Even this proposal itself would cause uproar from the traitors. The proper use of the term 'traitor' is for someone who is guilty of a treason, as defined by the law of the country in which they live - Canadian definition below. Refusing an oath is not treasonous, in Canada, though I suppose a law could make it so. A true traitor would not, in my opinion, have any objection to taking an oath, so as not to draw attention to themselves. I wouldn't have any particular objection to taking an oath before voting. I can picture it now: additional voting delays as people mumble quickly through some words in front of bored officials. Treason (2) Every one commits treason who, in Canada, (a) uses force or violence for the purpose of overthrowing the government of Canada or a province; (b) without lawful authority, communicates or makes available to an agent of a state other than Canada, military or scientific information or any sketch, plan, model, article, note or document of a military or scientific character that he knows or ought to know may be used by that state for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or defence of Canada; (c) conspires with any person to commit high treason or to do anything mentioned in paragraph (a); (d) forms an intention to do anything that is high treason or that is mentioned in paragraph (a) and manifests that intention by an overt act; or (e) conspires with any person to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) or forms an intention to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) and manifests that intention by an overt act.

What about the fact Huawei has supplied telecommunications equipment to much of Canada's telecommunications system? Where is the line being drawn and who draws it between China and Canada? Could acts by government or other entities be considered as acts hostile to Canada but not specifically fall under the definition of treason? Would a court have to declare something an act of treason before it could be considered as treason?

Even this proposal itself would cause uproar from the traitors. Thoughts? 1. Saying words is not the same as 'being loyal'. 2. Why the assumption that having dual citizenship means that loyalty to one must be questionable? Its kind of like having kids: having two doesn't (usually) mean one gets more love and care at the expense of the other. The only time having dual loyalties would matter is if there were direct conflict between the two countries; at that point, the individual will indeed have to decide their ultimate loyalty. This idea that an immigrant can't be loyal to their new country is why the Japanese were interred during the second world war. People should be judged on their own actions, not convicted on the assumptions of others. 3. Pretty sure a Quebecois nationalist born in Canada who wants the destruction of Canada would not be deterred in their goal, even if they were forced to repeat an oath every four years, or so. Words do not loyalty make and only in the actions of people can their loyalty be determined. Some Conservatives on this board toss out accusations that liberals/progressives want to (already have) destroyed Canada. Calling people traitors and disloyal to Canada merely because they have a different political viewpoint seems to me part of the problem of polarization. Pretty sure that even if all liberal/progressives were video'd taking this oath, those conservatives willing to believe that a different political ideology is traitorous would not be convinced. Or, to be much more succinct, I don't think taking an oath guarantees loyalty, or would prove anything to people who are determined that certain groups are, by definition, disloyal or traitorous.

Should it be considered treasonous if a Christian (or a Muslim or a Jew or a Hindu or a Sikh) declared that their first loyalty lies to their deity, not their country? Shouldn't Canada be their first loyalty? Should every religious person have to prove their loyalty to Canada before being allowed to freely practice their religion?

Shouldn't Canada be their first loyalty? Should every religious person have to prove their loyalty to Canada before being allowed to freely practice their religion? You just proved your ongoing hate for Christianity or Christians once again. Christians are taught in the Bible to be loyal to the government. Of course this does not mean Christians are bound to agree, support or follow any government or law which is acting in an evil way or contrary to God's written word. For example, Christians would not be bound to support Hitler and the Nazis. Neither would they be bound to support a Communist government, but in order to survive in a Communist country, they may be required to obey the laws as much as possible. As for Canada, Christians do follow the laws and are loyal to Canada and the Queen as head of state. They just do not agree with evil things that governments sometimes do or their evil policies. Everyone has the right to follow their conscience in regards to questions of morality. You cannot force anyone to accept your evil belief system. In the Roman Empire in the early centuries up to 312 A.D. when Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity, it was illegal to worship the Christian God, but not the false heathen gods in the Empire. Christians who were found were thrown to the lions. But since Constantine allegedly was converted and legalized Christianity in 312 A.D., freedom of religion with respect to Christianity has been legal in a certain sense. That freedom was limited by the fact the state in collusion with the Papacy in Rome determined what brand of Christianity was legal. It is only since the Reformation 500 years ago that certain countries broke free from Rome and allowed their citizens to worship whatever religion they chose. Perhaps you think Christianity should be again outlawed and only allow heathen religions to exist. Edited June 16, 2021 by blackbird Quote

blackbird Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 Quote Fast forward to March 2021. The National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians released a report that found China and Russia engaging in “significant and sustained” foreign interference activities that “predominantly threaten the fundamental building blocks of Canada’s democracy.” Earlier this month, it was revealed that in 2019, two Chinese military scientists were fired from Canada’s only Level 4 virology lab, spawning an RCMP investigation. Meanwhile, two of our citizens, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, remain jailed in China on trumped-up charges." Tasha Kheiriddin: The world's love affair with Justin Trudeau ends on a sour note (msn.com) What were two Chinese military scientists doing working in Canada's level 4 virology lab in Winnipeg in the first place? Who let them in and why? Canadians deserve answers. As a professed democratic country, transparency should be the first priority on this issue. What are our federal politicians doing? Quote
