You know, we went through this in the last election -- a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. We don't have multiple tiers of citizenship, and government does not determine which Canadians are deserving of its protection, and which are not. We all have the same basic rights.

I remember saying years ago that if Harper could so callously turn his back on Khadr because of the company he kept, he could do the same to any of us. Based on the results of the last election, when Harper was campaigning on such disgraceful concepts as revoking citizenship and dictating dress codes, the "people like us" style of government was roundly rejected by the majority of Canadian voters.
