As this bill now getting media attention and born Canadians started raising their voice on the bill specially on dual citizen strip issue as large nos of white Canadians has dual citizenship with US, British, France.
Toronto lawyer Rocco Galati warned MPs, senators and the Governor General, in separate letters sent on Monday, not to pass Bill C-24 until the government referred a key provision of the bill to the Supreme Court for a legal opinion.
Alexander is acting like a puppet of Harper and looks this guy does not have any knowledge on charter or constitution. He falsely said majority of Bar association members are not raising concern when the truth is opposite. Bar association will have a senate hearing Wednesday.
Bottom line is, things are getting little clumsy now and Harper may not pass the bill without addressing the dual citizen strip issue to the white Canadian and in the process let's hope this bill may be delayed.

Do not worry about Alexander; his strategy is to personally attack every person who is critical of anything in the bill.
So far, he has said that the Bar Association is misguided, and that most of its members are not aware of what is being said in their name (lawyers are not informed about new bills and they do not read papers apparently), then the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers is trying to drum up business, and he practically said Galati is in with the Khadr family, equating the lawyer with the defendant.
All of those folks have been very restrained and they refused to attack the minister. They just said there are issues with the bill and the government should pay attention to that.
I agree, things are starting to pick up and there is more and more media attention. Galati changed everything. I hope it is going to snowball into something serious quickly.
I wrote a letter against bill c 24 and emailed it to several liberal senators (I thought the cons would just ignore it like Alexander did when I wrote to him a few weeks ago).
Do your bit and spread the word in every way you can! Make sure online polls show that the majority of Canadians are against the bill.
By the way, here is a chance for you to give your opinion on the bill (hear the audio, and then write your comment below it):

Why is this relevant? He did it purely for political advancement, so that he might be able to run as US president.us2yow said:
Come on guys, do not just spam senators. Take ten minutes and write at least 3-4 short paragraphs, and be respectable and write a proper letter.Hasher said:
It is not enough to say 'Stop it!' Perhaps include a heart-rending story about your life in Canada, hard work, suffering, sacrifice and separation from family, how long it will have been when you are granted citizenship (a decade in my case, since I first applied for PR overseas), how the new law will affect you, and why exactly you oppose it.
Also, never forget to say you love this place and your allegiance to the country and the way of life is unquestionable. It seems it is a requirement when you talk about Canada
. Unless you say that, you don't have their attention . Sorry, always a cynic.

I agree, I just want to motivate those who thinks it would take lot of efforts to write a letter to senators, otherwise we should take all our time and use our energy to write a humble and convincing letters - no matter what the out come.Tolerance said:Come on guys, do not just spam senators.

I know we can just try, but we should not let go without some shots.
I agree with that - writing a letter to a senator is not a big deal, and nobody should be shy about it. You have every right to express displeasure with the bill. It won't take more than ten minutes.Hasher said:
The aim is to show them that Alexander's talk of overwhelming support for the bill is nonsense.
