I'm still reserving judgment on our new Prime Minister, it's pretty early in his term and these are particularly difficult times for Canada that would be a challenge to any leader. I like that he's taking steps toward heightened environmental responsibility, and that his foreign policy is trying to move us back from open conflict. I'd like to see what he has in mind to win back the economic ground lost due to the oil price crash, that will fill in a lot of blanks.

Justin has already set the stage for his management of the country. Clearly he has chosen to be like his father and discrimate against the West, particularly AB.

To NOT support a Canadian company to export its product is CRIMINAL!! And it's mainly because it's from AB.
But yet Justin is in full support to export Quebec airplanes which burn fuel and create GHGs, and will even probably give them money to do so.

It's like saying to your kids, I'm NOT going to support Johny for learning the guitar, but I'm going to support Nancy for learning tap dancing, and I'll even give her money to do this.

It is absolute CRIMINAL what Justin and Notley are doing by not supporting XL, Northen Gateway etc.

If you have a leader that picks and chooses their favourite company/province, then it's like a parent who picks and chooses their favourite child. It's just plain CRIMINAL!!

I don't think Trump and his supporters like anything, anywhere. The way they look at problems and their potential solutions can hardly be considered a step forward in any terms. He's scary. Almost as scary as the amount of support he has among the populace. Maybe we should be thinking about a wall. :)

Trump answered that no, he didn't think Canada was a problem. It was the interviewer who brought the question up.

Trump is not scary. He has it exactly right. The U.S. is being robbed by the trade with other countries that are prospering from it, by their financial aid to countries that hate them, by defending countries like Saudi Arabia for no compensation, by companies moving off-shore, by waste and mismanagement in Washington.
That's why he's getting the support among the populace.
He's no threat to Canada if Canada plays by the rules. So far the Liberals are NOT playing by the rules and that's why they are so afraid of him gaining power.

There's nothing wrong with a country looking after its own interests and its own people. That what its supposed to do. Canada shouldn't be going into deficit to support foreigners especially when our own people are in need.

First of all should this guy ever get out of jail no. should he have citizenship?
Just because someone commits a crime does not mean they are not citizen.
In the case of terrorism I don't know at this point I look at individual cases and
it should be noted this person has dual citizenship
In this case he has somewhere to go if being deported his is also citizen of
another country. Perhaps it is time to revisit the whole dual citizen concept
how can one be loyal to two different countries?
It is not the idea he is a terrorist it is the idea that we can start stripping people
of citizenship we saw that in Europe prior to and during WWII
It is the danger of government out of control in the future always a concern
Its a concern for assisted suicide, abortion and a host of other social issues
so we must give it some thought before jumping on the band wagon of being
pro or con.

If you become a US citizen, the US government requires that you give up citizenship to any other country.

Why did Cruz wait until it really mattered?

... and he wants to run a country where he doesn't observe it's laws.

I'm not sure but I think Cruz stated that he didn't know he had Can. Citizenship. I think he left Canada as a young kid.

There is a common perception out there that if you are living in another country for a number of years and you have citizenship in your new country and you have no passport and you are not using any benefit from your old country, then you have automatically given up your citizenship in your old country.

This maybe true for some countries but not all.
There would be a lot of administrative work that would have to be done if Canada decided it did not want you to dual citizenship.

If you become a US citizen, the US government requires that you give up citizenship to any other country.

However I don't think the US government enforces this requirement but you do sign a document saying that you do give up other citizenships prior to you being given a US citizenship.

(Know this from relatives experience)

Except Israel. There are US Senate and so forth who hold both.

There are many in the US who hold dual citizenship, I'm sure.
Since in most cases the cost to continue to hold citizenship in your old country is very little, there is almost no incentive to give up old citizenship.

But in the last couple of years, those US citizens who are living in other countries, like Canada and are also holding Canadian citizeship as well, the US gov is coming after them now and mandating that they file US Tax forms on a yearly basis as long as they hold US citizenship. Big cost now to maintain your US citizenship.

Here is an idea. NO DUAL CITIZENSHIP.

Either you are Canadian or you aren't.

Great idea, go back to the Ukraine. ;)

Just another Flossy the fluffer thread!

Exactly.

However I don't think the US government enforces this requirement but you do sign a document saying that you do give up other citizenships prior to you being given a US citizenship.

Dual citizenship had previously been banned in the United States, but in 1967 the US Supreme Court struck down most laws forbidding dual citizenship.

As a 'matter of principle,' convicted terrorists are fellow citizens
...McCallum.


Yep, just keep confirming that Liberals love terrorists.


Love the mentality too. "Well, when we don't bother to perform due diligence in vetting people who want to come here, YOU get to pay to keep them in prison as they try to radicalize the other prisoners, all at YOUR expense knowing one day the bastards will be let out".


Thanks John. Thanks Justine. Nice to see you losers give a damn about anyone else except the people of the country your supposed to be looking after.
You ask most Muslims what they are and they won't describe themselves with a nationality, they'll describe themselves as Muslims. This country doesn't need people who put Canada second, or third. That includes the current crop of Libtard clowns.

Liberals move to overhaul rules on revoking, granting citizenship

The federal government is scrapping measures brought in by the Conservatives that allow Ottawa to revoke the citizenship of Canadians convicted of terrorism and other offences.

Legislation last year allowed Canadians who held dual nationalities to be stripped of their Canadian citizenship if they were found guilty of terrorism, treason or spyin

One would have to conclude that the Liberals are not confident in their ability to convict only those that are guilty beyong a reasonable doubt.
