LIVE ON CTV NEWS: Tareq Hadhad Casts Ballot In First Canadian Federal Election
“I’m absolutely proud to know that my vote makes a difference. It’s so rewarding and I voted because Canadians sacrificed so much to protect my right to vote. So I encourage all of you to get out and vote as early as you can. Thank you Canada for giving me this amazing moment.”
In an interview with CTV News Channel on Tuesday, Hadhad said he couldn’t sleep the night before we was scheduled to vote because he was too excited.
“It’s been absolutely amazing to know that I have this amazing privilege,” he said. “We should not take that for granted, because people around the world are suffering for this privilege.”
