Turn down the Suck! Turn Up the Good!

I love Canada but I question some of the things our country does…… it blows my mind that the Government is running ads encouraging the business community to hire an immigrant and not look down on a university degree just because its not from North America. All the while the GREAT country of CANADA is trying to deport a bright young woman, Sarah Leonty, who has excelled at every level of education here in Canada and has aspirations to work for the Canadian Government. Sarah should be considered a role model and not considered for ejection from Canada!

We have enough Canadian born citizens whom should be kicked out of the country long before we get to the part of the list where Sarah’s name should be.

Sarah has…..

• Been a tutor
• Prime Minister of Student Council
• Volunteer at a women’s shelter
• Volunteer at a food bank
• Earned a Herb Carnegie scholarship for community leadership
• Earned a Lieutenant-Governor’s Award
• Earned music awards from Toronto’s Catholic School Board
• Earned merit awards from Toronto’s Catholic School Board
• Accepted to the “Youth in Motion – Opportunities Unlimited” program that is funded by the Government of Canada, the same Government that is trying to kick her out.

After all of that our Government want to kick her out of the country before she can even finis her degree, and even if she stays she has to pay international student fees (which are triple) because she is no longer considered a resident of Canada.

Boo Canada! Try to do the right thing here.
