Legal Question on Candidate Eligibility
#3

Submitted amicus brief:

In addition to the above point about section 1.4 of the Elections Act, more broadly our entire electoral system is predicted upon citizenship. See the Bill of Rights, which grants voting and being elected to office as a right only to citizens.

It does not follow under reasonable logic and interpretation that the law would afford a "right to nomination" for non-citizens, when it doesn't allow non-citizens to vote or hold office, regardless of how active they are on the forums.
