But, the Harper government is no stranger to controversial legislation. Much like their Republican counterparts in the United States, the Harper government has made dividing voters their election platform.

What government doesn't divide voters? The GOP feels Obama is the most divisive POTUS ever. Democrats will say Bush was.

The federal government can strip Canadians of their citizenship if they are not born in Canada. Namely, the over 800,000 Canadians that hold dual nationalities.

It doesn't matter if they were born in Canada or not. The key thing is dual. They can strip citizenship of a Canadian born in Canada if that person also has another citizenship.

They can strip citizenship of a Canadian born in Canada if that person also has another citizenship.

They don't even need to HAVE another citizenship, but simply be eligible for one.
Which makes it even worse - someone could not even know about it...
