        Then what are you saying no thanks to? This is about people becoming Canadian citizens, which you already are.

        Well, at least your opinion doesn’t matter. The people that qualify don’t need your approval and are already citizens, they just need to get their document from the government.

            Could you highlight the section of the article where most Canadians don’t support the citizenship by descent law?

            In any case, in a democracy, the rule of law should apply. The majority can make the law as they have done, but it shouldn’t apply retroactively. Your Supreme Court has recognized this and your parliament when it made the new law.
