I think we can both agree that "oppression" is, assuming its conventional definition, an affront to the human condition and therefore generally immoral. Aside from such "black and white" circumstances, is your watertight thesis going to elucidate and furnish justice?

There's really no need to take the analysis that far when there's a set of rights granted to all Canadians, immigrants or natural born, through the Charter and the laws of the nation. We could certainly discuss the basis of those rights, but that's not really at issue at the moment.
