    In case of what? Yes, I know things are going to hell in a handbasket in the Untied States. I think those who have other citizenship should already be making plans to move. When I say in case of what, what I mean is why aren’t they already making plans to leave? What specific thing would need to happen to convince them it’s time to jump ship?

      Don’t worry, they’ve no actionable plans for immigration and all that requires, they’ll get out when it’s too late.

          Then what are you saying no thanks to? This is about people becoming Canadian citizens, which you already are.

          Well, at least your opinion doesn’t matter. The people that qualify don’t need your approval and are already citizens, they just need to get their document from the government.

              Could you highlight the section of the article where most Canadians don’t support the citizenship by descent law?

              In any case, in a democracy, the rule of law should apply. The majority can make the law as they have done, but it shouldn’t apply retroactively. Your Supreme Court has recognized this and your parliament when it made the new law.

            No I think it’s stupid. People with no ties to Canada great great grandfather was Canadian and now they are. Out courts are fucking stupid and not just about this.
