For all of
us who were born in Canada, it is taken for granted by our government and legal
system, that at birth without any obligations or question one automatically is
entitled to all rights of the country (Canada) where we were born.
With
today’s globalization and ease of air, sea or rail travel should we as a
country perhaps start to at least question this automatic citizenship with its
legal rights?
I put this
topic forward because of today, especially with the ease of international air travel,
individuals who themselves might already be Canadian citizens, not by birth,
have planned to have a child or two or three here in Canada and then within a
month or two of giving birth hightail it back to their original countries of
birth so that their children will be homed and live outside of Canada for most
of their young life’s?
How at
birth can one recognize, accept, understand and later abide by the fact that Canada
Is this
right? You the taxpayers and citizens should debate and decide this obvious
flaw within our present born in Canada
Should Canada perhaps not have at least a minimum of
say 10 years of actual residence of a newborn before our government and the legal
system automatically hands out citizenship to babies birthed in Canada
If we had
had such a policy then we might not have been politically blindfolded and
saddled with the Omar Khadr child warrior catastrophe?
For all Canadians, these questions shall, unfortunately, remain until such time as citizens and our government no longer will have to question if born inCanada
