PM Trudeau 2.0 is on record as declaring that Canada is "the world's first post national state".  

If this alarming and bizarre notion is actually correct - or if Trudeau is determined to make it a reality - then it follows that granting citizenship is no longer important and so revoking it is also no longer an important matter and why bother to do so.

Interestingly, the new government's first piece of new legislation was one that had the effect of watering down the residency, linguistic, knowledge and other criteria which must be met to become Canadian citizens.

Therefore, regardless of the government's latest moronic misstep - the failure to properly vet Minister Mansef - it seems that the Trudeau 2.0 regime is keen to devalue and/or de-emphasize the value of being a Canadian.

Why other than to pander for votes our government would monkey with the citizenship requirements that have helped to make Canada the world's most admired and respected country is something to ponder.
