Those of you who breathed a sigh of relief when I headed back to the States now have more worries.
Today, with the stroke of a pen, my mother regained her Canadian citizenship, and is a dual citizen. Not only that, all my brothers and sisters are now dual citizens.
Oh, a town, definitely. There’s enough of us. And the only one who might be compound oriented is my dad, and he’s the only one who’s not a dual citizen. (Until they change the law so that he can get it from his great-grandfather, who came down from Quebec.)
I’m still fairly consistently amused that my Canadian citizenship comes from people who fled the U.S. at the Revolution, and my U.S. citizenship comes from people who fled Canada at Confederation.
Can you speak Canadian? Does the top of your head move when you talk? Do you love Moose Jaw for being Gordie Howe’s birthplace? If not, you are not a Canuck.
