a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian!

Not in my books, and not if you're running for PM of the country.

Quote
by the by, Ignatieff went back to Harvard for the work (2 years worth)... he has spent significantly more time in Europe/Canada teaching & lecturing than time spent in the U.S.. Again, now in Europe, which is where he's been since 2016 (as President and Rector of Central European University).

How many years in his adult life has Ignatieff spent living in Canada vs living in the US and UK/Europe?  How many of those years in Canada spent here specifically so he could try and attain power as our PM?  After he failed to become PM, how many years did he stay in Canada?  That's what I thought.  What a patriot!

so... wait, you mean you don't know? Innuendo without substance is just bluster!

by the by, there's a whole lotta Canadians living/working outside of Canada - nearly 2.8 million Canadians (nearly 8% of all citizens of Canada)... or wait, you don't consider any of them to be Canadian?

Goes both ways, the Conservatives made a big deal of Dion’s French citizenship when he was Liberal leader, the Liberals have done the same with Scheer. Neither has a monopoly on hypocrisy and to suggest otherwise is just, well, hypocritical.

Which Liberal made Scheer’s citizenship an issue?

Answer the questions...if you dare.

I never said that.  If you've been living outside of Canada for most of your life and have taken on a new citizenship somewhere else then I don't consider you much of a Canadian, in fact I think you should be forced by law to renounce your Canadian citizenship.

I'm not a fan of dual citizenship but as he will no longer be PM, why should he get rid of his US citizenship? The process takes at least a year so it wouldn't be complete by now anyway. I assume Liberals would have been just fine with a dual citizen PM if Dion had won in 08.

a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian!

ragging on Scheer was good sport... since Scheer claimed (with no substantiation) that he was "in the process" of rescinding his American citizenship... where no record of same exists within the related American registry! His latest lie about stopping the process is predicated on that initial lie that he actually started the process.

by the by, Ignatieff went back to Harvard for the work (2 years worth)... he has spent significantly more time in Europe/Canada teaching & lecturing than time spent in the U.S.. Again, now in Europe, which is where he's been since 2016 (as President and Rector of Central European University).

if I... I... dare? ;D Is this you, yet again, beakingOff - with nothing to support your blustering beakOff?

are you saying Mr. Ignatieff has, as you say, "taken on a new citizenship somewhere else"? By your quoted statements here, if he hasn't... then YOU DO consider him to be a Canadian... and if so, please backpedal harder, hey! Perhaps a furious backpedal on your part is in order - yes?

It is. It was all over the presss. Do you think Conservatives were criticizing him for his citizenship? If they were, they wouldn’t be hypocrites would they.

Wait, what? 

So did Liberals point out that he shouldn’t have dual citizenship or that he was a hypocrite for having it when he, and his party, criticized others for the same thing?

Well who do you think was being critical, Conservatives?

Again, you avoid the question...   were they critical of the hypocrisy?  Or of holding dual citizenship?   Do you think those two things are the same? 

Put up Wilber...  provide a quote by someone who was critical.

You’re the one who claimed it...  why would I try and prove your argument for you?   ::)
