Want to vote? Get married - to the nation. Don’t want to become Canadian? Then be quiet. We are more than capable of making our own mistakes as Canadians without a PR’s help lol.

You are just making claims though. Who says people in common law relationships want all the benefits without marriage? There are many reasons to be CL and not married. Hell, I'm sure many people in CL would be happier with fewer of those "rights" that the law imposes on them. Anyway, that's just a claim you make.
Same with the PR statement. If you had read previous posts, you would have seen that one of the challenges is it can take a long time to go from PR to citizen, so they want to make the commitment, but can't. And why do you assume PR's would make worse decisions? Maybe they'd help make the city better?
Your assumptions are fairly baseless, so maybe open to ideas for discussion?
