Has the government EVER done anything that you agree with?
As to your actual question....

Well I just think that of all the things going on that affect Canadians, this one ranks somewhere in the mid 500's of most people's list. When I woke up this morning, I didn't think "You know, we could lower unemployment more, or we could reduce the debt, or we could stop enforcing laws that restrict personal freedom...but lets make sure traitors lose their citizenship?" Its just this issue seems to really effect nobody. Its not like passing this will somehow be a benefit to all Canadians. Its sort of a "Cool? I guess..." kinda thing.
And personally this shouldn't even be a discussion. The punishment for treason should be death, so if it were up to me they'd lose their citizenship when they lose their head.
