I am not opposed with stripping citizenship of criminals who are duel nationals.
However, I don't like that control rests with the government on these issues. I think that the government should set the criteria for stripping citizen ship, then have to apply to the courts who would judge if the criteria has been met. This way the group wanting a person to be deported wouldn't be in charge of also deciding if that person meets the criteria.

There also needs to be a way for Canadians to formally denouce a 2nd countries citizenship if we are starting to give additional protections to those who are only Canadian Citizens.
