They are once they become legal citizens after three years. He was trying to pass a law to allow all the Syrian refugees to vote.
Ah... fair enough... at least apparently he wasn't successful getting the law passed to allow non-citizens the right to vote.

I have no problem with deserving immigrants getting their citizenship, becoming Canadian by choice and not just as an accident of birth.

Sorry.. I misinformed you. They did pass a law called Bill C-6 which allowed for many refugees to apply and receive their Canadian citizenships within a year, making them eligible to vote much quicker than before.

For some reason I was under the impression it didn’t pass.
Trudeau pushed for this law to get more immigrant votes in my opinion.

I have a problem with them voting so soon before really understanding the issues that matter, and I have a problem with Trudeau changing it for votes.

That tiny boy is "in the zone" with some true passion!
Please don't be frustrated due to this election
You will make it through, just push through. Go on with your daily life and don't let "all talk, no actions" Trudeau bring you down. You are way better than that!
