Canadian Citizenship: Citizenship

Citizenship Dept: Re: Kenney aims to strip terrorists of citizenship, Feb. 7, according to The Star. Your editorial asserts that there should be no distinction between native-born and naturalized Canadians. And while I agree with that principle, there are areas where that premise rings hollow. To obtain Canadian citizenship, an individual is under no obligation to renounce their original citizenship. They are therefore entitled to hold two passports, a Canadian one and one from their mother country. This actually puts a native-born Canadian in the very same second-class category argues against. If we wish to make every Canadian ascribe to your premise that There should be one citizenship and one justice for all, then naturalized Canadians should be restricted from holding dual nationality and dual passports, and they should renounce citizenship and ties to any country other than Canada and re: Assailing basic rights, Editorial, Feb. 8 Assailing basic rights, Editorial, Feb. 8 (www.immigrantscanada.com).
