The Canadian Government has recently banned a seven year old girl from the country.
Ok, I'm a little ticked off at the Canadian government at the moment. I know that the media only produces one side of the story but I read an article in the paper last week that was about a family moving to my province from London. The article stated that the family had purchased a home already near my residence and had planned on moving in and opening up and indoor play center for children. Now I think that this would be a great idea. The family has a 7-year-old daughter who is disabled. I forget the name of her disability but it prevents her from being able to speak and has slowed her mental and physical development. The family paid to fill out all forms and everything was a go-ahead in their minds. They hadn't heard any different. So, like I said, they purchased a home here and were here for about a week when they received notice that they were to leave the country. Apparently the government is scared that with the daughter's disability, that they will have to spend government and taxpayer's dollars for medical care. So because of this the daughter has been banned from Canada and isn't allowed to return even for vacation.
As I stated before, this is only the side that the media has given us. I, personally, am disgusted by the Canadian government for allowing this family to think that they could live here, and purchase a home, and then just kick them out. It isn't fair in my mind. Especially when they were going to open a business which is great for our economy and would provide new job opportunities. It is possible that they only wanted to move here for free health care, but I'm not buying that one. Hopefully they will appeal the government's decision and there will be a better outcome.
