CdnFox Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 1 hour ago, BeaverFever said: It doesn’t sound like there’s any basis to revoke his citizenship under existing laws. But even if there was, we’re not there yet IMO. If Trump were to make a clear attempt to annex Canada then I think anyone in his regime would be an enemy of the state and then I would support a special act of parliament to strip citizenship from such people under certain circumstances. At the end of the day, citizenship should only ever be revoked if they've committed some sort of crime, not just because of who they are associated with. Musk is unelected and has no actual power, if trump decides to do something or not musk has no control. This is just an extension of cancel culture and it's a bad thing. If musk seriously violates Canadian law or even international law in a major way then at least you could say you were doing it for cause but doing it just because you don't like him or who he associates with would be grossly inappropriate. As a nation we really have to step back from that kind of thinking. The whole cancel culture thing is not healthy Quote

Hmmm, and here you were all set to cheer and defend kids who were born in America being sent away to wherever their parents came from. What changed?

TreeBeard Posted February 26 Report Posted February 26 Canadians don't like Musk. Every Canadian citizen could sign a petition and it would have no force in law. Once you’re a citizen, unless you committed fraud to get that citizenship, the government cannot take it away. Quote

I don't think you really thought that sentence through. I think you meant to say I defended sending away the kids who were born in America When you get mad your English skills start to slip in any case what I said is the law could be changed to allow for it without a constitutional amendment. Their parents aren't American, and their parents were illegally on American soil, therefore it's arguable that birth place citizenship should not apply. It would be quite different if their parents were american In this case again it is the parent who is canadian, not where they were born. so this is consistent. Granting someone citizenship because of their parents being citizens is one thing. Even granting birthplace citizenship to those who are born in the country to parents who are in the country legally is one thing. Granting it to a child of illegals is essentially allowing the child to benefit from crime as well as the parents. As I said previously taking citizenship away for crime is at least defensible. You make it so easy to pick on you and you don't pay attention Quote

You said that because you don't know what you're talking about. But it's good to see you're on the kids side today.
