Howe Lee and Federal Government

federal government: Don Chapman and Howe Lee want Canadians to know that those who died before 1947, and whose graves are marked with maple leaves, are still not officially considered citizens by the federal government, according to CTV. Chapman, of the group Lost Canadians, has started a petition, calling on the federal government to recognize as citizens the war dead who were killed before 1947 and - When tribute is paid on Remembrance Day to the soldiers, sailors and flyers killed in the service of Canada during two world wars, Canadians also need to think about citizenship, say two advocacy groups. At issue is Ottawa interpretation of the law, which holds that citizenship didn't officially exist until Jan. 1, 1947, when the first Citizenship Act came into effect. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
