Canadian Citizenship and Canadian Citizenship

Canadian citizenship: But in doing so, the government has also triggered what can only be seen as a quintessential Canadian debate. Is citizenship a right or a privilege? Is Canadian citizenship undervalued? Under which circumstances can it be revoked?, according to The Star. When Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Chris Alexander announced the reforms earlier this year at a news conference at Torontos Fort York, he said the new act was designed to protect and strengthen the great value of Canadian citizenship, and remind individuals that citizenship is not a right, its a privilege and With Bill C-24, the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act, Ottawa has dramatically redefined the narrative of what it is to be Canadian, squaring it up with a federal Conservative Party view of the world and the nation emphasizing patriotism, rule of law, the military and the monarchy. And its a debate that will likely linger a long time now that the legislation has received royal assent. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
