Canada Creates Two Tiered Citizenship... Scary
Have dual citizenship? How about being a naturalized citizen?
In Canada, you are now second tier.
This is something that strikes home as a US and UK dual citizen. The concept of stripping away someone's citizenship and sending them into exile is both anachronistic and reeks of a totalitarian police state.
Citizenship is not optional. Once someone has become a citizen, they are part of your country. 100%. Forever. You cannot go back on that contract.
It is even more revolting to call it "Strengthening Canadian Citizenship" just as attacks on minorities have always been legitimized (anti-gay? you're "strengthening marriage", anti-immigrant? you're "strengthening society").
Terrible

See a Judge anywhere in the new process? Nope - they skipped that part. |
