Hi, Another flawed bill for Canada. Makes you wonder how many more are out there, as yet uncovered ...but we have one that is before the Senate now Bill S-13 and apparently we have a Government that doesn't want it any other way. Wonder what they are thinking to endorse such a bill? Bill C-18 made them stateless...now we have Bill S-13 with Clause 8, will make so many Canadians ANCESTORLESS...no ancestors...no heritage. Quote from Peter Worthington's column, May 25, 2003, The Toronto Sun. "It seems that a flaw in our Citizenship Act results in law-abiding citizens born in Canada between 1947 and 1977 being deprived of their citizenship and becoming stateless - if their father took the citizenship of another country during that time." Bill C-18's known flaws consist of giving the immigration minister the right to annul citizenship without the right of appeal - something that is applied against ageing Ukrainians who, as teenagers in World War II, were forced to work for the Nazis, and whom the government argues entered Canada by lying about their background. Bill S-13, with 'clause 8' (either opt-in/opt-out) will give the Canadians the right to ANNUL THEIR CHILDREN and THEIR HISTORY. Maybe all those Senators, that want to respect those early Parliamentarians, who supposedly gave us legislation in 1918 that supposedly wanted 'confidentiality forever' (no document for proof) might consider what Sir Wilfrid Laurier, said in 1905. He was one of them. Would seem strange to me that he would endorse such a thing after saying the following. "We do not anticipate, and we do not want, that any individual should forget the land of their origin or their ancestors. Let them look to the past; let them also look to the future; let them look to the land of their ancestors, but let them look to the land of their children."
