111%! That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of politically. No one who holds citizenship of a foreign country should ever be permitted to work in politics in Canada.

There is no requirement for MPs to declare their citizenship status.

There is no requirement of NFP think tanks to declare how much money they get from foreign sources.

Scheer is a particular cunt. When running for PM he said he was in process of renouncing his US citizenship, which is a lie. He was 2025 party leader again.

As US citizen, he also has to pay US income taxes, so what is his incentive to keep his US citizenship?

I hope there can be a petition or something to change that, because it seems like a huge vulnerability for us.

Liberals have done nothing to address this. How many MPs are US citizens? Why is this secret?

What do we allow Atlas and Koch to fund propaganda machines in Canada? Then, give them tax free status?

He's got dual citizenship ffs

As the US is becoming more and more adversarial toward Canada, being a US citizen in Canadian politics becomes more and more of a liability to our institutional integrity as a country.

Those who hold citizenship of an enemy nation should not be permitted to make decisions about this country, especially not while we are at war with that nation.

Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
