Good.  I hope that Ms. Speers is successful despite the weaseling obstacles.  But even if she isn't, I hope that the matter is dragged out long enough for Khadr to qualify for OAS.

IMO the government should invoke the "notwithstanding" clause to pass a law stating that any Canadian citizen (or person with other immigration standing in Canada) who takes up arms with a terrorist organization is deemed automatically, conclusively for all purposes and without right of appeal to have forfeited their citizenship (or other immigration status) and every and all rights of every kind under Canadian law.

Furthermore, I understand that Canada may be signatory to some sort of UN Convention that prevents us from taking action that would render a person stateless.  In conjunction with the foregoing law, we should immediately revoke our accession to that Convention.

You are either with us or you are with them.  No Roman riding.
