I'm not saying that it should be hard to re-establish their citizenship if they decide to move back though. But why should our government and taxpayers be on the hook for protecting the rights of Canadians that choose not to be part of Canada for several years at a time?

So what if you live and work in the US and a family member becomes ill? Should you have to re-apply for citizenship just to get back in to the country? What if you're living in the US on a green card; do you become a citizen of nowhere after a period of time? Should NHL players drafted by US teams lose their citizenship if they spend their careers there? That's asinine.
