Immigration reform allows Canada to strip citizenship

[SlyPokerDog]

A new law in Canada makes it possible for Canadian authorities to strip citizenship as a result of criminal activity. The first such case, in which a Canadian born-man’s citizenship is in question, is currently in court and may set an important legal precedent. Erin Hudson has the details from Toronto.

The Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act – also known as Bill C-24 – became law in June amid widespread criticism from Canadian civil rights organizations. Supporters of the legislation say it streamlines the naturalization process and will greatly reduce the backlog of pending cases. Critics point out it gives the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration discretionary power to strip citizenship from Canadians convicted of certain criminal offenses.

So, uh, then what?

I mean, I'd love to ship out convicted felons and repeat offenders to somewhere else to allow someone who just wants to work hard at a chance to live free a spot in the US. But we can't just stick them on a ship and send them to China, or bus them over the border to Mexico, right?

Then again, the Canadians know our border problems, so they're probably just sending their stripped citizens to Detroit, Seattle and Buffalo with US passports.

They're sent to secret labor camps that mine inside of the hollow earth.

Wow! I read your comments as taking Citizenship away from a Canadian. My first reaction was, They can't do that! Which has been the norm for international law for centuries. Nobody wants a country to make a citizen
country-less, because they don't want to have to take them. But they are not going that far I take it. Looks like a good law. It is kind a dumb that we passed the 14th amendment making anyone born here a citizen.

People born here should only become citizens If their parents are or become.

I learned Canadian geography from the teams that would come to play the Winter Hawks in the Memorial Coliseum. Regina, Kamloops, Moose Jaw, Kelowna, Brandon, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, etc...

If you're not a citizen, any country can kidnap you, torture you, kill you, and you have no country defending your rights. Just because you broke some evil law they made up. They probably took away your freedom because you went around saying the country doesn't really have freedom.

I have taken steps to avoid kidnapping

Yes, you've repeatedly derided Maris for his political statements. Since that alludes to today's article

...how many times has any government or quasi-government agency inquired to you about posters? I've been meaning to ask. Also, what is your policy?

The government doesn't have to make inquiries, we voluntarily send them information about you weekly.

I was alluding to his abduction by aliens. Maybe it was the government. You get what you pay for.

Untrue, although I did reside in Hollywood throughout all of 1977.

I have been an admin for about a month now and I have not received or seen any requests from the feds about anyone in the forum.
