Expressing gratitude to the Canadian Embassy

I'd like to express my gratitude to the Canadian Embassy for denying my request for a Visa based on my economic and marital status. Thank you for your honesty in stating that you believe that once I set foot on your wonderful wonderful developed country, I will no longer go back to my poorly developing, poverty invested homeland. Of course EVERYONE wants to go Canada and never come back to where they're from, why its wonderful over there!

Lets list the reasons why its awesome there: There are uh... steaks and uh... mounties... and uh... The long tradition of wrestlers and George St Pierre and... snow and ice, alot of ice... did I mention ice and cold weather?

It seems that discrimination happens in democratic countries as well, if you don't have enough personal finances then you are immediately treated as a risk of becoming an illegal immigrant. Well poor people do that, damn us ignorant masses from developing countries. My poverty disgusts me, it really does. We're all uneducated, ignorant people who view their country as the promised land.

But its a fair trade isn't it? We have the honor, nay, the privilege, of letting them enter our developing countries with ease, to enjoy the tropical climate, picturesque beaches, exotic prostitutes and the opportunity to watch how real poor people live, not like welfare-supported-soup-kitchen-fed poor people, but real third world poverty, the kind you see on United Nations Websites and other feeding programs complete with flies and grime. The visit also provides them a look of human ingenuity and how people can construct habitations with discarded scraps of wood, cardboard, tires and steel, must be like watching early man build his first dwellings except this is made of scrap.

It seems that they're under the impression that I dislike my country so much that I'd be more than willing to trade my dignity just to stay there as an illegal. Thank you for a glimpse in your perception of ordinary citizens in a developing country.
