    1. Re: [CCC] OFF TOPIC: CANADA'S LOST CHILDREN
    2. Muriel M. Davidson
    3. To all:- I printed off the three pages of Peter Worthington's article, and one paragraph near the end is of extreme importance. In the City of Brampton, we have many former Americans, ones who had been born in Canada, fought in various wars in the name of Canada. One group, in particular, the Korean War Veterans, must hold their own Remembrance Day service at their own monument -- not with the Royal Canadian Legion of Brampton. Reason -- Too many had an American address upon enlistment. Muriel M. Davidson [email protected] Hi, This article by Peter Worthington of Toronto Sun will be of particular interest to some of the members of this list. My sister just called from Toronto to tell me about the article, which she read to me over the phone. I honestly had no idea just how devastating that this issue is to some people, and my heart goes out those who are faced with lost citizenship through no fault of their own, some of these people were born in Canada and are still living in Canada and consider themselves Canadians, though our government apparently tells them different. Why because of a FLAWED BILL that became law. I searched the internet and the story can be found at the following url http://www.canoe.com/Columnists/worthington.hml May 25, 2003 Canada's 'lost' children They think they're citizens, but they're not -- and many don't even know it By PETER WORTHINGTON -- Toronto Sun I got a phone call from Arizona shortly after writing a column on the need for an appeal process for anyone having citizenship summarily revoked by the minister of immigration. (My 10th article on the subject in five years).............................. ................................ Maybe by reading this article, we won't be so quick to judge, what we do not understand. Who knows there even maybe some list members that don't even know that they aren't Canadian citizens, apparently there are 100s/1000s that don't know.
