A famous proverb in French says "Diviser pour mieux régner". Approximative English translation: ''Divide peoples, to rule better''.
Please! My friends, let's not get into bickering that isn't productive, and ignore people who try to get us off topic.
I suggest that we be efficient, pragmatic, and that we focus on what interests us, time is running out, as our friend, the honorable
@deadbird so aptly summed up:
As everyone has seen very well, the spousal sponsors have mobilized and lobbying very effectively, and which, despite all the negativity that had been said when I tried to take them as an example here, in this forum (People who try in all ways to discourage, to say that it was useless, etc ...)
Also, other people have tried, and will try to tell us that we are not a priority ... Let's not pay attention to these negative and counterproductive comments ... We have nothing to lose from all the ways ... Now seems that this Chinese calamity will block our candidacies for citizenship for years and years (maybe even worse: a majority access to power by the conservatives = a return of our demands, with new more difficult rules). ..
We therefore have nothing to lose by using the tools of legitimate pressure at our disposal, and which the Charter of Rights and Freedoms of Canada allows us, de jure.
In short, I suggest that we rely on the mobilization of spousal sponsors to inspire us, and also launch our actions.
Questions to ask ourselves in order to launch our action to demand virtual tests:
- How did they mobilize? How did they promote these simultaneous outings in several cities?
- See the examples of dates of exits they made, the day, the hour ... and all the parameters?
- In front of which IRCC CIC offices have they mobilized?
- Which media did they contact, and which media spoke about it?
- Are we ready to sacrifice a day, a Saturday for example, and go out ... Or we accept the status quo, and are okay to wait years and years, and also to take a possible risk that the conservatives return our requests?
** - New question specific to the province of Quebec: Do you have the right to meet? ... If so, under what conditions? (I think it is allowed for 25 people or less, but with conditions of social distance, masks).
