Quote:
The federal government’s new citizenship bill is a Trojan horse.
It is presented as an attempt to reduce fraud and rationalize the process of becoming a Canadian citizen, both of which are sensible aims.
But it would also give Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government unprecedented authority to strip Canadians — including thousands born in this country — of their citizenship.

Quote:
Bill C-24 would let the government unilaterally strip citizenship from any Canadian — naturalized or native-born — who has been convicted in any country of a terrorist offence and sentenced to at least five years in jail.
Decisions in these matters would be made by cabinet alone rather than a court.

Emphasis added. The bill seems specifically structured to be able to strip Omar Khadr of his citizenship.
