Legally I don't know that we can revoke citizenship, but the separatists are really giving "have your cake and eat it too" vibes with this.

Like, do you want to leave or not? If Canada is so awful to you, why would you keep it?

It reminds me of a teenager threatening to move out because they have to clean their room.

Few think, about anything. It's mostly victims of a cohesive ragebaiting program. Russians successfully did it to the American right. Now both are doing it to the Canadian right.

If they are unhappy in Canada they should leave.

But they want their ground goo and to burn it, too.

It's simple: they trade their passport for an escort to the border.

Get. Out.

It would be them renouncing it to leave.
