Thousands of migrant citizens and expatriated citizens of Canada Remnants have asked the government to take them home from Marche Noir, a faraway country on the brink of a terrible and violent civil war.
The Debate
"We must co-ordinate with the government of Marche Noir in order to secure our absentee voters- ahem- citizens who are in their country," says Thomas Jong-Il, your Minister of Foreign Affairs. "We must also create an emergency fund to assist our expats and help bring them back to Canada Remnants. No matter where any of our people are, they're still ours and our responsibility."
"That's rubbish," objects Lars Hendrikson, your Minister of Finance. "Why waste hundreds of thousands of Canadian Remnants in bringing those expatriated citizens back to Canada Remnants? They chose to leave our great country; they are no longer our concern! They could have stayed here and been an asset to our workforce! Helped us grow strong! No, they've had their chance. You reap what you sow. We should cut any financial assistance we give to those traitors."
"That's a good point," says Stephanie Rifkin, your Minister of Civics. "Our people are the generators of the economy. The expats should be allowed to come back, but only if they stay. If we keep letting our citizens emigrate, then we're losing our doctors, our teachers, our skilled and unskilled workforce to damn foreigners! Close the borders to those wanting to leave our nation. If they can't see how wonderful Canada Remnants is then we'll make them!"
