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

I have no problem revoking citizenship of people who misrepresent who they are before they come here.
