Scary. However, Bill C24 is likely to be challenged in court as against the Charter. So we'll see what happens. Reality Internet Personality |

While hardly from an unbiased source, the story does point out that our current Federal government is very, shall we say, retro. We will have a chance to tell them what we think of this in the next election, unlike most of the countries where al Jazeera broadcasts. PS - I didn't vote for Harper or any of his minions. |

Nor did I Bill. This CONservative/reform party is a throwback to the McCarthy era of subversives hiding everywhere. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win. I fight them because they are fascists. Chris Hedges A riot is the language of the unheard. -Martin Luther King, Jr. |

While hardly from an unbiased source I suspect that compared to Faux they are without bias. But that is going off into the bushes. the story does point out that our current Federal government is very, shall we say, retro. Just wondering if there is Tea being brewed up there? |

The same thing is being considered here by a Liberal party funny how it's the Liberals (Republicans) that do this crap all the time . It was first try'd here under ...wait for it yes a bloody Liberal party PM called HOWARD in 1999 when a man was deported back to Yugoslavia but could not speak the language as he had never left Australia since he was brought there by his parents when he was a child but since brought back to Australia I say what good is a citizenship if a Gov can take it away from you on a whim . And what happens to someone actually born there will they be deported on a whim ? |

The rules that countries apply to citizenship in my experience usually fail at some point and can cause some individuals and families problems. My youngest, because of the law at the time of his birth, has a letter from the Foreign Office stating he is to be regarded as a British Citizen. It does not state he is a British Citizen. |

WlnterKnight as someone that has had to deal with this very question your son will have to clam his citizen ship when he is 18 until then yes your right he is not actually a citizen only regarded as 1 which is not the same thing and you can bank on it |

In The USA: If you are born inside The USA, or are born anywhere in The World, to an American Citizen: You ARE an American Citizen. Generally there are two legal doctrines that cover this: jus sanguis (right of blood) and jus soli (right of soil). With jus sanguis if your parants have citizenship then so do you. With jus soli, if you are born on the territory of that country, you automatically gain citizenship of that country. It seems the US applies both doctrines. Canada technically also applies both doctrines. |

Nor did I Bill. I won't be voting for him either when my second class citizenship that can be stripped from me on the whim of a government official comes through, thanks to this new bill. I am quite sure it will be challenged in the court. Reality Internet Personality |

This is most amazing, because if I started a thread about the whiteness of men in the USA, it would be banned immediately. Because I have been 'labeled' as racist for discussing things as I see them. An example. The sherriff is.....well, I can only say he's near. Which obliviates the intended joke. I happen to like Mel Brooks. I like him a lot, because he says what a few cowardly souls cannot bring themselves to say. The main point, kids, is when Mel makes a joke, he is not looking at Schindler's list. He survived that. As a Jew. And can still make fun of his own pain. Some of you should do likewise. And redirect your angst from me to yourselves. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
