Frankly there are probably a lot of people in Canada that I wish we could revoke their citizenship and send them to ???? Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. Born in Canada and only lived here for 30 days? You still have all the rights of someone who has lived here for 30 years.... unless of course you voluntarily give up your citizenship (ie. Lord Conrad Black)

You're obviously right under the present law.
However, being a Canadian citizen should be more than just holding a piece of paper. If you have long absensses from Canada and join a military force that the government of Canada is at war with, that should be reason to strip you of citizenship. Obviously the issue of "treason" is open to abuse, but this case is pretty clear cut.
All that being said, Omar was a child when all of this went down, so it's not necessarily his fault. I'd be all for letting him out of prison and throwing his mother in.
