Canadian citizenship-stripping plan good politics but dodgy policy

“Immigration Minister Jason Kenney’s plan to strip Canadian terrorists of their citizenship is clever Conservative politics.  There’s a feeling out there that just too many people are using Canada as a country of convenience — that they obtain citizenship to take advantage of programs like medicare but that their real loyalties are elsewhere.  Now he’s taken advantage of a 2012 terrorist outrage in Bulgaria to advance the far more controversial idea of giving Ottawa the right to strip dual nationals of their Canadian citizenship.  Native-born Canadians who also happen to be dual nationals could have their Canadian citizenship revoked by fiat.”
