I don't have particularly great objection if the Canadian Nationality has been acquired, however, if the Canadian Nationality is birthright nationality - I do object.
The problem area of course is that grey zone inhabited by those like Omar Khadr, whose parents come to Canada, have a child in Canada, no one in the family shows particular loyalty to Canada and spend a large amount of their lives outside of Canada.

I have dual citizenship. French/Canadian.
Honestly someone that committed terrorist crimes...I have no issues with this person having their citizenship remove.

I don't believe you can have your Canadian citizenship stripped from you if you are born in Canada and I agree with that. If you commit a crime you are still subject to the punishment that goes with it. If you are not a Canadian by birth I have no problem of that person having his or her citizen revoked in principle for certain severe crimes. The tricky part is if deportation would likely mean death for that person.
So what?
They abused Canada's compassion... who cares if their crimes result in their deportation and possible death?
Do people not understand the laws of physics anymore?
Lol I see you are a very compassionate person. I don't see how the laws of physics apply.
Only applies to dual citizens who commit terrorism against Canada. As a dual Quebecois Canadian citizen I have no problem with this law. If I ever (will never happen) commit terrorism against Canada I deserve to lose my Canadian citizenship but I can still retain my Quebecois citizenship.
This fucking shit again? If you are a Canadian citizen, you are a Canadian citizen. Period. If you commit a crime, regardless of how heinous, you should be treated and tried as a Canadian citizen. If you advocate for heinous shit, you are still a Canadian citizen. No matter how heinous. In some exceptionally awful cases, we appoint you Minister for Citizenship and Immigration.
The Canadian Charter only recognizes one single class of Canadian Citizenship. All Canadian citizens have exactly the same rights and responsibilities. Period
Aardie and his friend, who is no longer with us, argued for years, that somebody born overseas is a lesser type of citizen than a Canadian born in Canada. I have a letter from the honourable minister of Citizenship and immigration that I have the same rights and responsibilities as any other Canadian.

This is exactly the point. There are 7 million Canadians who were born abroad, most of whom are considered citizens of the countries where they were born. It is very difficult to renounce your foreign citizenship if you were born there, and have that renunciation recognized by that country. Canada cannot make its citizens stateless, so it can only apply to foreign born citizens.
Some are citizens of Egypt and Italy without even knowing about it because those countries deem citizens, those who's parents or grandparents were were born there. They get a nasty shock when visiting grandma in the old country: have to be drafted in the army and serve for a year before being allowed back home to Canada.
Most of those who are dual citizens are not such because of choice. Many don't even know it.
Bottom line: having Canadians who can be stripped of their citizenship because of where they were born, as opposed to Canadian born citizens who cannot, makes for second class citizens. And don't be so sure that the definition of what a terrorist is, is not going to conflate into something broader. In fact, the Act does not refer specifically to terrorists, but to those who act against Canadian 'interests'. That could be just about anything that can piss off the 'Minister'. AFAIK, there is no judicial review necessary. It's at the whim of the Minister, usually the bureaucrat acting on behalf.
I'm still amazed that such draconian legislation is accepted by some people because 'I have nothing to hide' or 'I haven't done anything wrong'. Respect of civil rights is about equal treatment in front of the law. Not applying exceptions convenient for political purposes.
Wondering what the minority of Canada born Torontonians would do without us.
