Assuming C6 passes, what are the chances conservatives would try to reverse it if they win next election ? Game of cat and mouse ...
Frankly I support the amendment! Waiting a tad more for citizenship is less stringent than feeling like you don't have the exact rights as a natural born Canadian citizen. Today it's about terrorism. What if tomorrow the govt decides to add some other offences, say a DUI? Would you feel confortable being stripped of citizenship WITHOUT A HEARING IN A COURT OF LAW?Coffee1981 said:She can't promise that. She's a Senator and has no power in the House of Commons or in the government.
She's literally screwing hundreds of thousands of people over who wants 3/5 by holding the bill hostage while she has a hissy fit over something that affects like .00001% of the population.
She could stop being selfish and just letting this pass and putting her own bill up tomorrow.
There is indeed a sense of political war by using the citizenship as a tool for that.razerblade said:Assuming C6 passes, what are the chances conservatives would try to reverse it if they win next election ? Game of cat and mouse ...
Your application be processed as usual. Nothing will change for those who've already applied. Intent to reside won't matter after (if?) c-6 passes.reasonabledude said:Hi Guys,
I am tired of this game and have decided to send my application. Can anyone kindly advise when (eventually) C-6 get Royal Assent, what will happen to those applications that have been submitted? specially for the clause "intend to reside".
Thanks for your reply. I have the same understanding as you mentioned but the reason I asked was I remember I had read here long ago that "intend to reside" will be legally useless upon Royal Assent in all the applications (even submitted before). This topic has become really long (already 162 pages ) and I couldn't find comments related to it.Coffee1981 said:Your application be processed as usual.

Can't see how she is screwing anybody; and selfish is the last word I would use to describe her. She could easily put her feet up and be matey with her colleagues in self interest. Instead, she is pushing hard for something she believes will benefit lots of immigrants.Coffee1981 said:She's literally screwing hundreds of thousands of people over who wants 3/5 by holding the bill hostage while she has a hissy fit over something that affects like .00001% of the population.

Well for this we have to take into account the happenings in our neighborhood down south. It will be what Trump is doing, signing executive orders one after another reversing whatever Obama did, which has made Americans and Canadians equally cynical. If Cons pull that strategy, they will be equated to Trump, which they cannot afford to. Even during the current tenure, if they continue the theatrics, they will be equated to Trump. There are people crossing over from US through prairies when with the blizzard warning to seek refugee status. I can only say about few areas but Canadians at large have been very welcoming of the Syrian refugees and their settlement. So in the current environment, exclusion policies won't help politically. The travel ban, H1-B, H4 policies etc are being seen as derogatory excluding the recent surge in hate crimes in US and Canada (Please see the attacks on Jewish establishments in both countries and shooting of Indian techies randomly). Personally, even I have seen a surge in name calling on the streets towards myself, even though I am far far away ethnicity wise from the slurs hurdled, C'est la vie and ignore morons. Long story short, they can't strip you of citizenship until you are a dual citizen and indulge in high treason against Canada, which includes terrorism. If you have to renounce your citizenship of birth after taking oath like in my case, they can't strip you even after charges of high treason as UN human rights charter says that no person can be rendered stateless. They have to deal with you the same way they are dealing with some of the infamous 'Toronto 18' or the recent happenings in Quebec City.razerblade said:Assuming C6 passes, what are the chances conservatives would try to reverse it if they win next election ?

I was always courious what the "intent to reside" actually is. Is it something tangible or just the abstract state of someones mind? Do you show it by buying down winter jacket instead of bermuda shorts?reasonabledude said:Thanks for your reply.
