| Citizenship is a declaration of loyalty. If you have dual citizenship and your two nations have separate interests, you must choose one. It's not unreasonable to act to prevent conflict of interest in public officials. Oh I fully agree there. I think there is enough of a system of balances and chec... |

| Wow way to fail to address the actual issue in any meaningful way while taking potshots at ideologies you ascribe to other parties. I do happen to agree with many of the candidates here that did put forward meeting with other parties as a needed step towards putting Harper out of office. Splitting t... |

| So someone having dual Iranian citizenship - no problem for you? Depending on the reason nope. There's a lot of reasons you may hold dual citizenship in a variety of countries. That and being a citizen on a country does not mean you agree with their morality or government. Nor does it mean you woul... |

What a tragedy I hope they rot in jail for a long long time.
I take bets that they find Jesus shortly before parole comes up. |

| Wow I think this is really dipping into the bottom of the barrel for mud to throw. So what if someone has a passport for another country? It doesn't meant their loyalties lie there and it actually opens the door for better foreign relations. This is on par with saying someone should be removed from ... |

| Coming into this thread late but in recent years I've changed my mind on banning the burqa. It's not that we should be banning this thing on religious grounds but we SHOULD ban it because it's an affront to women's rights and a way for many modern societies to take a stand that says we care about eq... |

| Better late than never, I guess. Obama said he would ask his attorney general to establish a special financial crimes unit to prosecute those parties charged with breaking the law, and whose fraud contributed to the 2007-2009 financial crisis that plunged the United States into recession. Only took... |

| Part of the problem with bills like this is they take an all or nothing approach. Why not allow one or two companies to pay the farmers for the right to compete alongside the public sector and see the reaction in the market. Instead it's either all free market or nothing. I think a general phasing o... |

| 40% of all corporate profits in the US come from the financial industry. No wonder they are in trouble. It used to be 15%. Wonder what it is for Canada? Romney is a perfect example of what's wrong. He's created nothing, just made money from money, and for that he pays a lower tax rate than working ... |

Nowadays if you are running on any of those platforms you also have to be pro-life, anti-gay rights and Pro Isra... |

| Frankly you will forgive me for being blunt but anyone who simply makes the vast majority of their money by playing with money and not really working an honest day is likely to see my middle finger when they run for office to tell me how society should operate. They simply don't live in the real wor... |

| Looks like the GOP has actually found a candidate who's existentially worse, by a factor of about a million, than even Sarah Palin would have turned out to be. If President Obama manages to lose to Gingrich or any of those other repulsive clowns then the Democratic party should be forcibly dissolve... |
