Well, if the trade-off for getting to vote is tax obligations, then why shouldn’t permanent residents be able to vote?

Keeping in mind, as I already pointed out, they are in fact able to vote in countries that have healthier democracies than those in Canada or the US.

If it doesn’t seem crazy to you that’s fine, but that just means you aren’t really engaging with the question. Which is also fine, but I’ll happy push back on anyone who says the question shouldn’t even be asked.
