The bolded isn't happening though, the Parliment is deciding that terrorism is an unacceptable use of Citizenship. And added it can't be accused of terrorism, or allegded terrorism but actually charged and convicted and sentanced to 5 years plus. So it is a gross exageration that this is contempt for democracy.
And the examples in the quote of deporting all of the Japanease Canadians don't apply as each individual dual citizen would have to have been convicted of terrorism first.
I agree it should be left in the hands of the courts for the final decision but we don't need all of this hyperbole around how we are giving up rights and this will lead to mass deportations.

So you're comfortable having your Canadian citizenship determined by a foreign court?
Count me on on that one.
What is wrong with a Canadian Court handing out punishment to a Canadian citizen for a Canadian crime?
This fervour to remove citizenship stinks of pandering to racist sentiments within Canadian society. Why do we need to strip citizenship in the first place? So we can feel comfortable when a non-citizen's rights are violated by a foreign country?
