dunno about Canada, never lived there. If you lived in New Zealand for 1 year, you'd be entitled to vote. Rationale being, you paid taxes either as a result of employment, or indirect-taxes such as sales tax.

Isn't that true for any expat? If I moved to Canada, could I vote there unless I was a citizen?


You could but JohnM couldn't. The last thing we need up here is more flaming Marxist idiotology scratching paper and calling it a vote. ;-)

Seriously, you get the best of both worlds. You can vote in Canada after a year of residency and you keep your right to vote in the US.
