We should allow anyone who pays taxes to vote, since they contribute to the functionality of the state

 @9G8MJGZfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

If they reside in Canada, they are working, paying taxes, raising a family, same as any citizen. They have a vested interest in the running of our country, and should be able to vote.

 @9FSDCZZPeople’sfrom Alberta agreed…7mos7MO

Foreigners should have no right to vote whatsoever because they don't understand the issues Canadians face

 @9G2PQW8from Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

If you live in a country for over 5 years you should completely be allowed to vote because you are a citizen who is affected by the government.

 @9GDBYJJ from Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

In many countries the length of residence alone would qualify somebody to vote. IIRC it is 3 years in the UK.

 @9G967HM from New Brunswick disagreed…6mos6MO

I think that foreigners should be able to vote after they have a job and are paying taxes, also, they should be staying in Canada (not by force) to be able to vote, maybe after they have a house and have payed at least half of the mortgage, and if they have an apartment, after 3 months of paying rent.

 @9HVXD83from Nova Scotia disagreed…4mos4MO

because they cannot speak English or french so why should we allow them to vote if they cant speak Canadians first language

 @9H23R6Zfrom Ontario disagreed…5mos5MO

By saying the foreign citizens don't have a right to vote, that's saying that they aren't a true citizen of Canada

 @9GHHJFFfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

Almost all of Canada's population is built on immigrants as we are a very diverse country, therefore all foreigners should have a right to vote if they live in Canada because they are part of supporting the economy of Canada, and helping Canada become a better country

 @9FTX86Hfrom Ontario disagreed…7mos7MO

Foreigners should have the right to vote because they live here just as much as we do and they also are effected by who is in position of power.

 @9FQ5WWFfrom British Columbia agreed…7mos7MO

You need to commit to Canada to have a say in our affairs. I think that citizens of non friendly countries should have to give up the citizenship of their native country if they want to be considered.

 @9FPXBYBfrom New York disagreed…7mos7MO

A foreigner probably has the same if not more political knowledge than someone who's been living in Canada for years.

 @9FNB6SCfrom Alberta agreed…7mos7MO

They weren’t born here and they just came here because there country is safe enough for them to be there why should they be able to vote for our country’s leader

 @9FBRQ28from Ontario disagreed…7mos7MO

I think they should have the right to vote. Not only do foreigners also live in this country but if they were thinking about moving here, political reasons could be something making them want to stay away. If they think the political situation isn't the greatest then they may choose to move somewhere else where they could have some say (a vote) in who runs that place politically.

 @9FWCDYLfrom Ontario disagreed…7mos7MO

I mean there still part of this country whether you like it or not they live here they should get a right to what things happen in this country

 @9G4T8Q2from Alberta agreed…6mos6MO

Foreigners shouldn't vote because their form somewhere else and there leaders are different then in Canada

 @9GC6KJQfrom Ontario disagreed…6mos6MO

Foreigners have the right to vote because they are coming to live in the country, and have the right to vote on who they want to run the country they live in.

 @9G53PY8from Nova Scotia disagreed…6mos6MO

If they are residents in this country they should have the right to vote because who ever comes into office and the decisions they make will effect them.

 @9FWSR37People’s from Ontario agreed…7mos7MO

Just look at Israelis, Chinese, and Indian foreigners and what they do with their money/influence and you will understand what I mean.
