I still have the photo of me with the Mountie
So does Dean Del Mastro.
Conservatives always have this knee jerk reaction to things, ignoring every legal and constitutional reality. There is no affair. He's a Canadian citizen with the constitutional right to enter and leave Canada, and it's that simple.
Even the Liberals conceded they have no interest in helping him.
He becomes a political problem for them if he tries to come to Canada
There is an affair because unfortunately the Liberals reversed the Conservative law that said dual-citizens could be stripped of citizenship if convicted of terrorism offenses, a law the UK also has and May's government used. "A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian", but clearly that's not the case with Jihadi Jack, who decided to become an enemy of the state for a group bent on destroying Canada.Stripping citizenship is still rare in those cases but can be done (if we still had the law), as seen in the UK.
The UK simply demonstrated a dereliction of duty. I suppose you'll see more of that under Boris.
Making a mistake or lying on your citizenship application is now a reason to have your citizenship revoked ...
...but being convicted of terrorism, treason or espionage is not.
This is just a race to the bottom, last one to strip someone of their citizenship loses - because they have signed international agreement to such effect. Regardless of what laws we had, we would be stuck with this loser anyway.
Not true. He wasn't born here and has never lived here. So if we had the residency requirements suggested earlier in the thread, we wouldn't be stuck with him.
How old is he, are are you suggesting we make laws retroactive?
