Is it just me..........or is something out of wack here. Recently, the ARAR case, the Lebonese Canuks, Hong Kong Canuks, and then the lady in IRAN who was murdered.
From my understanding.........often dual citizens travel back to their home countries on the other passport..........and then when they get into trouble or break the laws of that country.......suddenly become a Canadian..and expect us to pay their way out.
ARAR.........no one deserves to be tortured and that is not my issue. But after 9-11 he was in the USA with two passports..........Syrian and Canadian...why can he decide which country he would be sent too........in defense of the Americans they choose to send him to Syria. Is that not their right........? Again I am not making excuses...just trying to find out the facts!!
Same with the Iranian lady.........did she not enter Iran with her Iranian passport..........and then was arrested and began to yell she was Canadian.
So many seem to use Canadian passports as a tax convenience...and there should be some clarification. Especially with the debaucle last summer with Lebanon........and what could happen with Hong Kong...300,000 Canadian passport holders........?????????
Recently we had our Governor General...have citizenship with Canada and France........and only after some pressure gave up her French citizenship...and the Honourable Leader of the Opposition seems to see no problem with him maybe being Prime Minister of Canada but also a French citizenship. Dah!!!!!!!!!
It is nice to honour and respect one's ethnic background but it is also time that having Canadian citizenship is seen as an honour and not just something treated so lightly, as a passport of convenience.
Then the Khadar family...had lost a few of their passports in the last years........and are crying for more........
I know there were comments last summer after the War in Lebadon...how many of those people have now returned.......and how many of them have not paid Canadian taxes? Be interesting to see if there were any investigative reporting in this country?
