I disagree. Ted Cruz was a Canadian citizen. That is why he had to renounce it.

Ted Cruz was a Canadian citizen.

Sorry. Not so.

Since Cruz did not appear at a Canadian Consulate (or the Embassy) and formally opt for Canadian citizenship at some point after reaching the age of 18, he never became a Canadian citizen.

The "renouncing" of same last year was for appearances, nothing more.
