Nuns denied opportunity to vote in Ontario election
February 10, 2011
*** begin quote ***
Four nuns were denied their right to vote in the Cambridge (Ontario) municipal election for Catholic school board candidates last fall.
Sister Michael Daniel Dumais, 39, said that a poll worker told her that “because I had taken a vow of poverty, I don’t pay taxes, so I’m not contributing to any school board, and therefore I don’t have a choice in voting for the separate school.” Instead, she and the other nuns were handed an incomplete ballot.
City Clerk Alex Mitchell downplayed the nuns’ complaints, saying that “there’s an onus on the voter to make sure you’re casting the right ballot.”

I pay school taxes on three houses in two jurisdictions!
Never have had any children.
So why am I pay to educate children I never had? I had no vote in the decision to have them.
Why do I have to pay for other people’s choices?
Argh!
