It really does not make sense in any way, shape or form to think that someone who lived here 50 or 60 years ago could bestow citizenship in perpetuity to generation after generation simply because they were here 50 or 60 years ago, without having contributed at all, not one minute of their life, to any of our Canadian provinces or territories.
