What is a right vs. a privilege?
A right is something you are born with, and you will
die with, granted to you by your "Creator" (whatever you
imagine He/She/It/Them to be). A privilege is granted to
you by the King, General, Church, or the State, and may be
revoked at any time, if one loses favor. This is usually
caused by a failure "consider the king", a failure to pay
the "royalty", tax, indulgence, tithe, license fee, etc.
So-called "Civil Rights" are by definition, conveyed by
positive law, and thus are more akin to privileges than
to natural rights. So-called "Civil Liberties" are by
definition natural immunities to government interference,
and are thus are more akin to proper natural rights.
Rights exist before, and are thus superior to, privileges.

另外,康尼部长还在理论上认为,技术移民申请者得到加拿大的永久居住权,是一种PRIVILEGE(特权,受到恩惠,恩赐),而不是移民申请者可得的right(正当的权利)。 _____ Of course its a privilege, what's wrong with these people?
Maybe Jason Kenney could have done it in a less destructive way, but he (representing Canadian government, who representing all of us Canadians) has all the rights to do so.

基本上支持康尼的政策,特别是打击假结婚、假难民。加拿大当然要制定对本国经济有利的政策。
