Number of citizenship revocations for 'misrepresentation' soars under Liberals | CBC News The Trudeau government is using Stephen Harper's changes to the Citizenship Act at a much higher rate than the Harper government did itself. As a result, about as many Canadians lost their citizenship in the first 10 months of the Trudeau government as during the previous 28 years.

The Liberals campaigned on revoking Bill C-24 but are using it to revoke citizenship of Canadians.

When Harper says he knows what Canadians want, I'm reminded how he thinks I'm less of a Canadian than he is. #macdebate #OnceACanadian #C51

And what happens to those who resist assimilation, who live in the hybrid space between borders? #OnceACanadian

Immigrants can no longer earn full citizenship for themselves or their kids, even if they accept assimilation. #OnceACanadian #C24

You know how much patience I have for that xenophobic noise? NONE. #OnceACanadian

Canada used to seem so friendly, eh?

The next election can't come soon enough.

I won't forget this. I won't let anyone else forget either. #C24 demoted Canadians like me to second-class citizenship. #OnceACanadian

Why should I still have hope that my country will stand on guard for me, or those I love, or anyone else? #OnceACanadian

Our country builds monuments to war dead but claims in court that it has no moral obligation to care for surviving veterans. #OnceACanadian

Our country already stole the citizenship of Deepan Budlakoti, Canadian born and raised. #OnceACanadian

Our country commits cultural genocide against indigenous nations & peoples and thinks reconciliation is optional. #OnceACanadian

Our country applies the "terrorist" label to protesters and activists, but white men who shoot at crowds are special cases. #OnceACanadian

And no, I'm not a terrorist or a traitor. But I have seen how the state commits betrayal. #OnceACanadian

Trinidad & Guyana both still criminalize LGBTQ people. So no thanks, I'm good here. Or at least I thought I was. #OnceACanadian

I have no other citizenship, but I'm still vulnerable because you just have to be "eligible" in the minister's eyes. #OnceACanadian

My citizenship is now conditional. It can be taken away by a cabinet minister without a day in court. #OnceACanadian

Don't forget: our xenophobic government has demoted me and many other Canadians to second-class citizenship. #OnceACanadian

Was a descriptive hashtag ever made for #C24, the so-called "Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act"? #OnceACanadian seems fitting. #cdnpoli
