This article appeared in today's Globe and Mail newspaper. It is extremely troubling but not surprising that many people take advantage of a citizenship acquisition system that is full of holes and extremely lax. Freud in citizenship applications results in a general depreciation of the value of citizenship for all of us, as people who are undeserving acquire citizenship while they have no attachment to Canada. Perhaps it is time for the government to change the current system and make citizenship more meaningful, rather than being obsessed with doling it out like lolly pops. Citizenship acquisition should be based on merit and compliance with the law, not on a numbers game that rewards those who do not wish to contribute to Canada.
