Telephone Interview and Donovan McGlaughlin

Donovan McGlaughlin: I am stateless. No country recognizes me as one of its citizens and I have no rights. I have no rights in Canada right now, McGlaughlin said in a telephone interview from his home in Dawson City, Yukon, last week, according to Toronto Star. He says his mother, a Caucasian woman from Guelph, Ont., and his father, an American aboriginal man, were anarchists who distrusted government and feared their son would be taken away and placed in an Indian residential school and Donovan McGlaughlin, 60, is being asked to complete what could be an impossible task in order to obtain the Canadian citizenship he believes he has had a right to since birth. McGlaughlin has never had a birth certificate. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
