Wrong. You really need to read the articles before running off at the mouth. First, the document that was posted was not a list of registered voters - it was a preliminary list of potential voters. The list was used to go door to door to determine if the people actually lived there, if the names were correct, and if they were eligible voters. As a US citizen, Ted's mother would not have been an eligible voter. The list was from 1974, so by that time Ted's father may have been a Canadian citizen.
Also, no proof is needed as to whether Ted's mother was a Canadian citizen when Ted was born. It was legally impossible for her to be a Canadian citizen in 1970. Ted's parents moved to Calgary in 1967 - Ted was born in 1970. You had to be a permanent resident for 5 years before you could even apply for citizenship in Canada at the time.
I think that on this issue as on all others, you won’t sway the Trumpettes with facts or reason. They will lie, twist, distort, dissemble and deny literally forever. they remain locked in the most rigid state of denial I have ever seen.
That is correct. Having some family that moved up to Canada myself, there is confusion over the concept of ‘enumeration’ and ‘registered voters’. Someone who is ‘enumerated’ MAY be an eligible and registered voter IF they meet the requirements of Canadian law so far as birth and immigration status. But simply being listed on what is basically a census taker’s form proves nothing so far as voting eligibility is concerned.
A registered voter MUST be enumerated in order to qualify them for going to the polls on election day. Without enumeration and being included on the voter rolls (subject to legal status), they cannot vote.
“Ted’s parents moved to Calgary in 1967 - Ted was born in 1970. You had to be a permanent resident for 5 years before you could even apply for citizenship in Canada at the time.”
One or both of Ted Cruz’s parents were either a Canadian citizen or a Canadian permanent resident. it seems unlikely there was time enough to become a Canadian citizen, so it seems one or both of them had to be a Canadian Permanent Resident. Not long after the father naturalized as a Canadian citizen, so he must have been a Canadian permanent Resident when Ted Cruz was born. We don’t know yet whether or not the mother was also a Permanent Canadian Resident, but it appears to be highly likely given Rafael’s acquisition of Canadian citizenship by naturalization.
