It’s disgusting and unacceptable that Canadian institutions and politicians still use that site.
That fucking dickhead has citizenship in Canada, a matter that needs to be corrected. His grandfather got kicked out for trying the same bullshit here.
My emotional instinct is to agree. My rational brain has serious concerns about revoking citizenship as a punishment.
If this was to be done, it would have to be done with the most extreme caution possible. Paper citizens with zero ties to the country and who promote treason, but not just Canadians we are super mad at.
I’m torn because on the one hand I’m concerned about the precedent and how a hypothetical future CPC PM might abuse it. Then again the American example shows that not having precedent set isn’t a huge barrier to evil policy, and the CPC shares near-identical ideology to them.
At the very least though we can encourage our representatives and institutions to cut ties with X
They got rid of his shitty grandfather, and somehow the country survived. Grow a pair. You want us all to live according to what traitors might do ? Democrats in the us made a living doing that, how did it work out ?
Its a question of the process and the criteria. I'm a Canadian citizen. I want to know that citizenship is a status I hold securely, not something the government can revoke if I do something they don't like. There would have to be a rigorous process for it. But it would be better, I think, to deal with citizens under Canadian law and not to consider undoing their citizenship. Any power to remove it is ripe for abuse and a likely slippery slope.
I get that you’re upset. So am I.
But revoking citizenship is a big deal and it deserves to be treated as such.
Since you’re being disrespectful I’m going to end the conversation now.
