I think if they can prove they have lived in Canada for more than the normal 5 years then they should be expressed through citizenship (so long as they pay the normal fees - those should not be waved).
Canadians who live abroad should not be granted passports for the normal 87$ - I am thinking that should be increase to the $2500ish mark to subsidise those who do actually live here (that way if another Lebanon happens its paid for and not with my tax dollars).
Also those who live abroad full time but have Canadian citizenship, their offspring should not be granted automatic citizenship unless they can pass what normal new citizend have to.
