Id definitely block anyone's visa if they are protesting Canada while outside Canada. Immigrants should be on their best behaviour when applying for visas. Their sense of entitlement and cooperation will be worse once they arrive.
That's not what the denial is about.
As for why your premise wouldn't be grounds for a denial, by definition every immigrant petitions to be let into a country. You are picking and choosing when you see that as a request vs a protest.
Someone that is allowed in on their first request would have no reason to ask again. You can't then point to their subsequent requests and say that they're being "entitled" and "uncooperative". Not to mention that these aren't charity cases:
Be better.
If the previous comment is your actual opinion, then no you are not "very liberal".
People have an inherent right to express opinions about any country, including one they want to live in.
People have rights? To express opinions?? About a place that they care about???
Oh! Advocating for breaching the Canadian charter. That's nice. And based on the assumption that people from a different country were protesting Canada's government while there?
So assumptive and not very smart. Were you part of the trucker convoy?
Charter of rights doesn't apply to non Canadians outside of Canada
Carney and other officials says they get to protest, and the Calgary police are sending the wrong message
Haha so two things here
1- you are assuming that they've protested Canada while abroad (because yeah, that's what a Palestinian does in their free time, protest a country that they're not in - lol) and avoiding how idiotic that sounded.
2- you agree that the charter of rights protects the freedom to protest, but you want to apply that freedom selectively because you don't like the people that you've fully assumed are practicing that freedom
Definitely part of the trucker convoy lol!
I hope people spit on you when you come begging for help in the heat death of the planet.
You'd ban people for free speech - cool, you're a douchebag.
