IANAL, but from my googling, this was only true from 2015-2017 when Bill C-24 was in force and only for crimes of treason or terrorism. As it currently stands, you can only lose your citizenship if you obtained your citizenship fraudulently.

Gotta admit, I was at the LA NHM and their gold exhibit (it's mostly just pure nuggets) looked really pretty.

You wouldn't have said it if they were white. A little reflection is ok.

Maybe you shouldn't speak for me, bro!

You already spoke for yourself, bro. You have no idea of their place of birth or ethnicity and you said "deport".

It's insensitive to people of color to have people assuming they're not Canadian because of the color of their skin. You maybe don't know that feeling.

Time will tell if they are born and raised Canadians like you so adamantly believe. I don't know that feeling, and will show more empathy in the future. Thanks for the advice, brother.

I mean they are presumed innocent even if most were likely involved I doubt the police actually know the true extent of each one's involvement yet.
Using the stolen gold for gun trafficking should be considered as a violent crime.

Yeah, really.

One of the guys caught posted on Twitter thanking people for their love and support. It's ridiculous how some people are glorifying these idiots as if they would GAF if one of their gun killed you.
