Citizenship And Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: Citizenship Oath

Sun TV Dept: Kenney is impressive. He has been making overdue changes to our challenging immigration and refugee system. I don't always agree with them - I'm not sure we should force Muslim women to remove their veils for citizenship oaths, for example - but I admire the way he is willing to take responsibility for his decisions, and explain them, blathering on all day, in both official languages, according to Montreal Gazette. What was more interesting was the reaction at Sun TV, a small cable news channel inspired by Fox News and this week, the opposition and reporters had a bit of fun at the expense of Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, who had to stand up in the House of Commons and apologize for the fact that his department sent some civil servants to Sun TV's studios to pretend to be new Canadians taking a citizenship oath. But it's good for politicians to be humble, so it was good fun to watch him squirm a bit over this tempest in a teapot. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
