If you don't want to renounce your Icelandic citizenship, just don't apply for Canadian citizenship.... remain a landed immigrant.

How can you be loyal to two different countries, especially in times of conflict? People chose to move here, away from their home country making Canada their NEW home. Nobody forced them to come here and apply for citizenship. People of dual citizenship want their cake and they want to eat it too. Its time to chose where your loyalties lie.

Why should you have more rights and options that a Canadian who doesn't hold dual citizenship? ie. one who was born here. Chose which country you want to be loyal to, I say.

If Kenney dislikes immigrants so much, why not just make citizenship only available to natural born Canadians?
This only applies to those who hold dual citizenship.

Does the USA allow dual citizenship of its immigrants?
