High Treason: Life Imprisonment

Immigration System Dept: The “High Treason” proposal, if adopted, would make it party policy to support automatically voiding the citizenship of Canadians caught fighting soldiers of this country or allied nations, according to Globe And Mail. In theory, such a policy – had it been enacted in law years ago – might have resulted in Canadian Omar Khadr losing his citizenship after he was caught fighting U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and topics range from a flat-rate income tax to euthanasia to reforming the immigration system, including a focus on attracting younger immigrants. It would also back trying such a Canadian for “high treason” under the Criminal Code, a charge that carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. As reported in the news.
