Yes, yes, I read your justification. Do you think that if the Trumpist ever get back in national power, that they would care about the justification? They already annulled a number of citizenships granted in the name of fighting "immigration fraud."

Do you think they would care to make a justification once they find a precedent to cancel anyone's citizenship just out of political or criminal activities?

And yes, I know you are referring to Canada. There's also a Trumpist contingent in Canada with power, especially in some of the western provinces.

I don't know what your situation is with regards to citizenship. Maybe you were born with citizenship. For me, it took me over a decade to get naturalized. Over a decade of interviews and standing in lines and paperwork. And that was before GWB made it harder for folks after me.

What does that have to do with his dual (maybe triple) citizenship? I'm not saying he shouldn't have citizenship in the country he lives in. He doesn't live or work in Canada and is now recognized as a terrorist in that country.

My point, as I have said all along, is that I am leery of stripping citizenship as a punishment (whether someone lives or works there or not), because the precedent will almost always be used as a cudgel against POC more.

And my point is that he has no reason to have the right to dual citizenship as someone who literally formed a recognized terrorist organization. You all can keep him and be happy that he has citizenship there.

My point is, actions will invariably have consequences, and if history is any guide, the consequences will fall more heavily to POC and marginalized folks. This is not, I think, a controversial or difficult to grasp notion.

Indeed. His actions should have consequences as a terrorist. "terrorist" isn't "immigration fraud" so you can stand by him all you want, but he doesn't need dual citizenship and you keep sidestepping that point.

Yeah, I agree with this. He does not need citizenship in Canada, we don't want him, he's a terrorist.

I may be misremembering but citizenship and threats of it being taken away is already something that happens in Canada to POC. That should not happen of course, but calling for a white terrorist to have his citizenship stripped I don't think is going to lead to a slippery slope.

Calls for it, sure. Having more precedents on the books could however make future court cases easier, and I certainly wouldn't trust a future Tory government not to abuse that. (I also think it's easier for the long arm of Canadian law to reach him if he retains citizenship.)
