Citizenship Oath Ceremony Dept: It's almost impossible for those born in Canada to imagine the dreams, the hopes, the struggles and the hard work it takes to become a Canadian citizen, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "Let's do it. We can fake the Oath," reads an email from a sunmedia.ca address and the federal immigration ministry's decision to fake a citizenship oath ceremony at the Sun TV studios using bureaucrats as stand-ins is either awful judgment or outright sacrilege, depending on your point of view. One would think of all the people out there, immigration ministerial staff would understand the gravity of a swearing-in ceremony -- that final moment officially welcoming immigrants into the fold. Apparently not. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
