Well, thanks to Harper and his gang, my whole family became second class citizens today.
After 63 years in Canada and 57 years as a naturalized citizen.
So I can't work overseas or take an extended trip or return to the old country to nurse my aged aunt, without constantly returning or risk having some bureaucrat end my citizenship.
And this applies to any Canadian, even those born here like my 24 nieces and nephews, who have foreign born grandparents.
The only family members it does not apply to are my own daughter and one grand-nephew, both of whom are adopted but who were not registered with the UK at the time and do not hold dual citizenship.
I wonder if Harper and the gang considered that this will probably apply to about 70% of Canadians currently living.
Heck, my mother's family goes back to the early 1800's in Ontario, but I have one grandparent on my father's side who came from England. Gee, does one grandparent catch me in the the "restrictions" net? If so, I'd like to find anybody 50 or older (aside from First Nations people) who doesn't have someone in the family tree who came from elsewhere. The term police state comes to mind.
Maybe somebody should do some research on Mr. Harper's lineage.
