Municipal Elections and Mike Savage

Mike Savage: The mayor of Halifax says he wants his city to become one of the first in Canada to grant permanent residents the right to vote in municipal elections, according to The Chronicle Herald. We need more immigrants because they come to our country and they create wealth, they create jobs for themselves and for others as well, says Savage, a former Liberal MP whose father John was premier of Nova Scotia between 1993 and 1997 and Mike Savage says the proposal, which requires provincial approval, is aimed at making the region more welcoming for immigrants.
