Canada Ping!
Jason Kenny is probably the best immigration minister Canada has had since the 1950’s. He’s done so much in just 8 years, that couldn’t be accomplished in 50.
If they engage in acts of terror against Canada the solution is NOT to strip them of their Canadian citizenship. It is to hang them in a Canadian public square on Saturday afternoon with free beer afterwards for the onlookers.
let’s end dual citizenship altogether. no dual loyalties.

You gotta start somewhere and sending them home, after a stiff jail sentence is definitely a start. We’re ahead of you, of what needs to be done.
