A Marriage - September 1960

My Mother and Father, on the day they were married in September of 1960 in Kitchener, Ontario.  They were both children during the Second World War.  They both absorbed the stress and the trauma of that time.  They came to Canada, both for their own reasons.  They worked hard all their lives and paid their taxes.  They weren't allowed to vote, however, because they were only Landed Immigrants and not full Citizens.  They lived with the cost of Canada's democracy without being able to participate in its elections.  To this day, I have a heightened awareness of 'class differences'.  And believe me, even in Canada, those 'class differences' are all around us.
