  • A Long-Standing Canadian Tradition: Citizenship Revocation and Second-Class Citizenship Under the Liberals, 1993-2006
    A Long-Standing Canadian Tradition: Citizenship Revocation and Second-Class Citizenship under the Liberals, 1993-2006 Christopher G. Anderson (Doctoral Student, McGill University) A Paper presented at the annual conference of the Canadian Political Science Association York University, Ontario June 2006 I. Introduction The meaning and practice of Canadian citizenship has long been the subject of considerable academic inquiry and political mobilization. In the process, questions of equality and identity – and the ways in which they shape the experience of belonging in Canada – have been pursued along several dimensions. Thus, Canadian citizenship has been examined from the perspective of aboriginal peoples, ethnocultural and ethnoracial minorities, francophones, gays and lesbians, and women, among others, as well as along class, regional, and religious lines. Such investigations into what it means to be Canadian can be “understood in broad terms [as] touching on the definition of the political community and the conditions of inclusion – and exclusion,”1 and they suggest that relations between citizens and the state, and between citizens themselves, are often fraught with tension. This paper seeks to add to these investigations into the meaning of being Canadian by examining it along the Canadian-born/foreign-born divide in the context of citizenship revocation. As a country of immigration, Canada has always accepted the principle that foreigners can become members of the national political community. Since Confederation, Canada has put into place procedures whereby foreign-born individuals can apply to become naturalized Canadians2 – most recently under the 1977 Citizenship Act. Of course, Canadian history is replete with examples of how unevenly this principle has been applied, as some have been welcomed more warmly than others, and still others have been excluded completely.
