not to mention that Maj. Stephen Fuhr (retired) is the Liberal candidate for Kelowna-Lake Country, and a member of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau’s International Affairs and Defense Advisory Council.

Stephen Harper's hostile greeting for new Canadians

While Canada Day is usually a time to celebrate the swearing in of new citizens, this year will be the first time that their citizenship will be marked with an asterisk, thanks to Stephen Harper’s passage of Bill C-24.

The new law threatens dual citizens and immigrants to Canada with revocation of their citizenship. Now, citizenship can be revoked by a citizenship officer without a live hearing, without opportunity for appeal, without a judge, and for reasons other than a fraudulent application.

Canadians convicted of terrorism, high treason, treason, or spying may have their citizenship revoked if they are dual citizens. What’s more, they do not have to be convicted in a Canadian court. A foreign conviction will do.

This is a key point. Allowing foreign courts to decide the fates of our citizens is a fundamental forfeiture of our sovereignty, our duty to protect our citizens, and our obligation to grant citizens due process under the law.

A modern judicial process includes gathering evidence, prosecution, trial in front of an independent judge, sentencing in the event of a conviction, and the opportunity for appeal. There are dozens of states around the world that fail to grant both their citizens and ours true justice.

In other words "I am going to make this thread about Stephen Harper regardless of what the OP is actually about or of what anyone thinks."

And you actually wonder why the all pile on you?
