I agree.
That's why a declaration of citizenship, at least globally, really means no more than the freedom to vote.
Harper and Rae pile on as Mulcair’s dual citizenship raises eyebrows

I agree.

No it does not. The point though is that it guarantees it no more than single citizenship does. In short, it's a non-issue.
I'm saying that your citizenship status may not reflect your actual decisions as a PM. In fact, it does not grant you any more or less freedom to harm or benefit the country that you are leading.
Right. I am in full agreement with this sentiment.
Maybe it is time after all... Ya see, there are different kinds of 'love' young fella
There's 'love'
There's Love
And there's:PIRATE LOVE -
No one has said anything to the contrary. You and Fuzzy keep saying there's some imaginary benefit though.
To you and Fuzzy maybe. To some people, for whatever reason, it is important.
Again, no one has said anything to the contrary.
It does however place into question, loyalties, to some.
So why doesn't Mulcair simply end the debate, and denounce it, instead of defend it and bristle against the questioning of it, if it provides no benefit?
Why do MP's have to resign from business?
It has absolutely nothing to do with either question.
Shall we demonstrate for them?
Tell me Bear, why do MPs have to resign from business? Is it perhaps because they could put their own personal interests ahead of their constituency?
I don't see what kind of conflict of interest can come from being a French citizen. It's not like citizenship alone guarantees you a gold mine of wealth. All it really gives you is more freedom in another country.
I can see an MP support a particular policy because it could make his business some money. I don't see what kind of policy could make a politician money by virtue of being a citizen of another country.
How about divided loyalties as it applies to foreign policy, trade agreements or financial aid?
Who says that the politician must make money from it?
BTW - Have you figured out the differences between love and love yet?
To be honest, I think they all do that regardless.
So you believe.
What does money have to do with it? National policies can be made, legislation changed to favour.
No more a question than the PM being able to vote in the other country he is a resident of.
And that comes at no real cost to his constituency.
Which is precisely why Mulcair or the rest of NDP leadership don't really give a crap.
Nicely cherry picked and cropped quote.
I completely understand your discomfort, to bad it interferes with being honest for you.
Now, that is.
I miss Jack.
