This is certain to enrich the lives of Canadians in numerous ways.
“Dual Canadian citizens will no longer lose citizenship if convicted of terrorism under new bill,” Canadian Press, June 15, 2017:
OTTAWA—A Liberal bill that would make it easier for people to become Canadian citizens has passed the Senate, after over a year of back-and-forth in Parliament.
Bill C-6 was designed to repeal many of the previous Conservative government’s changes to how people become citizens — and how they can lose that status.
Among other things, the legislation repeals a provision that strips dual citizens of their Canadian status if convicted of terrorism, treason or espionage.
But far more people lose their citizenship because it was obtained fraudulently and current law gives them no right to appeal, something not addressed in the Liberals’ original bill.
The Senate proposed adding such an appeal and the Liberals agreed to that and several other amendments late last week.
The bill went back to the Senate and after a brief debate, passed by a vote of 51-29….

Trudeau takes it as a personal challenge that Canada survived his father.
Kay says
Dual citizenship makes no sense.
gravenimage says
Kay, it sprang from the days of the British Empire, where it made sense for Britons away from the UK for years to be able to take part in the political life of their adopted country without giving up their British citizenship.
But it makes *no* sense when we are talking about Jihadists who have inveigled citizenship in the free West not losing their citizenship even when having been convicted of taking part in violent Jihad.
This is just suicidal insanity.
John A. Marre says
Sure. Trudeau wants them to stay in Canada where they will get money from the White Canadians who he hates so much.
No wonder Trudeau and Obama got along so well. They both have consciously chosen to turn their countries Muslim.
Tom says
They got on so well because they are both closet communists with a like minded agenda to use Islam and dumb muslims to help bring down western countries.
Both Trudeau and Obama have George Soros in common, both are his very willing acolytes.
But they do not realize that they cannot control the treacherous serpent that is Islam.
Barry Donnelly says
Yup ! Everyone in the world Loves Canada ; especially Jihad es !
Mark A says
Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada are a complete disaster for Canada.
This is yet another gift from them that will just keep on giving.
Tom says
I couldn’t agree more, in fact I would add that they are the worst government in Canada since Trudeau senior in the 70’s.
This is what happens when old hippies and millennials put down their dope and take the time to actually vote. With their minds full of s**t what else would we expect them to do but vote for a turd.
Mark A says
I’m Canadian and I have dual citizenship. Nice to know that Justin Trudeau has my back if I decide to go out and commit acts of terrorism.
Tom says
Not only does he have your back but it would open a whole host of government job opportunities for you. Especially as a parliamentary secretary, or even an MP with a good chance at cabinet.
Just be sure to hilite it on your resume and send it to Trudeau personally.
Benedict says
Canada must be in her Left mind.
Sarah says
OK. So add Justin Trudeau’s name to the rapidly growing list of politicians and leaders who have betrayed their countrymen and are traitors to the nation’s they swore to serve.
Like Merkel, like Obama, like Rutte, like Rudd, like Blair etc etc etc etc etc – one day they’ll all need to be put in the docks, to pay the piper for their treasonous war crimes against the very people they swore, promised and were paid obscenely well to protect and serve.
Tom says
Ah Sarah, oaths mean nothing to these politicians, they are merely words that slide off a forked tongue with ease, simply to obtain a position whereby they can be assured of their own self service and self fulfillment. Peasants aren’t worthy of any of their concern.

Canada: Dual citizens will no longer lose citizenship if convicted of terrorism
……………………..
What could possibly go wrong?
tpog says
What??? Have all members of Parliament and the Senate gone completely mad? This is an open invitation for convicted terrorists to roam our streets and commit further terror!!! Cannot believe that the vote was 51-29 , not even close. Now that the Anti-Islamophobia Bill M103 is being studied by prov govts it seems that anti-islamophobia will be a more serious crime than acts of terror. The idiot muslim trudeau and all members of the Senate and Parliament who voted for this bill should, if not now but in the future, be charged with TREASON.
Seems a reasonable assumption on the part of citizens that the safety of Canadians should be uppermost on politicians’ minds. I guess not.
And to think that law abiding Canadian citizens who have paid taxes all these yrs are becoming second class citizens to the filth of humanity, muslims. They come into the country and are given a free ride ($43,000/yr/family) without contributing one iota to Canada.
But, hey, a recent Syrian muslim immigrant was charged with beating his wife for half an hr with a HOCKEY STICK, claiming he didn’t know it was against the law. At least, the hockey stick is Canadian (sorry). This is what the convicted terrorists with dual citizenship will claim, they didn’t know it was against the law or they had a “sexual emergency”, were “weakened from fasting during ramadam”, etc. or some other b…s..t. How much is the West going to take of this complete insanity.
But wait, wasn’t treasonous idiot muslim trudeau just in Europe, maybe the syndrome is contagious.
Tom says
Welcome to the real world tpog.
Seriously, you are absolutely right and correct in what you say. We just have to convey that message to the rest of Canada.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Don’t worry. When the Conservatives get back in, Harper’s provision will be put back in.
Catherine says
From your lips to God’s ears.
Tom says
Amen
Catherine says
The Left love victims. They pander to & coddle any group they can deem “oppressed”. Evidently it’s not enough to confer victim status on illegal aliens & criminals, they must go a step further & include terrorists. Pathetic.
National suicide, one step at a time.
Tom says
The frog in the pot ….. warmer and warmer and warmer and pretty soon he is well and truly cooked, without even a peep.
That is our fellow citizens.
Matthieu Baudin says
The U.K. and Canada are looking increasingly like the ‘sick old men’ in the British Commonwealth – rigid and backward looking to the spent values of the early seventies.
Jon says
I’m glad to say that in Australia we’re doing the exact opposite. Dual nationals lose their rights to remain in Australia and to retain their Australian citizenship. Several have already been refused re-entry and others who are in prison will be deported to their motherlands on release.
Imnokuffar1234 says
Despite all the evidence of the total infamy of Islam they do this.
BYE BYE CANADA.
The tower block fire in London gives the jihadist a very easy way to cause maximum pain, death and destruction at minimal risk.
Lioness says
Next step will be to bestow the Order of Canada on the convicted jihadis. The CBC will be cool with that.
Tom says
If Canadian police are smart they will ensure that a jihadist who attacks doesn’t survive to see a court. If they do it means that somewhere down the line the police will have to deal with him or her yet again.
But then we are assuming that Canadian police are smart and not just lap dogs of this leftist Trudeau regime.
Ethel Red says
Was at a Rebel Media rally yesterday and Tommy Robinsons buddy from England was there and he stated England has got 2 paths now. One is complete Islamic takeover or Civil war. We still have another choice here and it is get rid of Traitor Trudeau and get the Conservatives back. Treasonous acts against the country and its citizens by a person interested only in converting our Canadian Values to where they came from, while we have Armed Forces in the middle East are to be removed back where they came from. Trudeau famously stated a CANADIAN IS A CANADIAN IS A CANADIAN and reversal of acceptance into are country and Citizenship cannot be revoked is a complete fool. They became a citizen by swearing an oath and any deviation is a fraud and they were never a Canadian to begin with so get rid of them.
Tom says
You are correct that the UK is now on one of two paths. Unfortunately it looks like either complete capitulation or a civil war in which no one will really win.
Canada is still able to use a peaceful political solution which I hope is taken very quickly before Trudeau can do too much damage.
Kathy says
I am an American, and I am appalled. However, some of you may know that
we have dozens of cities which are called “Sanctuary Cities.” Hoping
that our new Right President can stop this insanity.
UNCLE VLADDI says
To libertine “liberal” criminal idolaters, it’s everyone’s right to maintain their rights, even when they CHOOSE to irresponsibly renege on their social-contract responsibilities!
