You fail to address the fact that Canada is a dominion of Great Britain, not an independent country.

Funny how the Queen of England appears on the coins and stamps of Canada.

If Trump’s mother could not ever renounce her British nationality, then how did Cruz escape the dominion of Canada, which in turn is a dominion of Britain?

It is your argument which is absurd.

The oath of American naturalization renounces all other claims of citizenship up the one taking the oath.

You say British law supercedes it.

The it works on Canadian oath of renunciation of citizenship as well, regardless of what Canadian law says.

You can’t have it one way in one situation, and not the other.

I have said NO such thing. You really need to learn to read, or failing that, at least not to lie.

Actually I have said just the opposite. OUR law supersedes any foreign law. For Cruz as well as for Trump. You can't demean Cruz's citizenship by birth on the basis that Canada also extended him citizenship any more than you can demean Trump's citizenship by birth on the basis that Great Britain extends him British nationality. You can't have it both ways, and that is my point. The Trump die-hards need to stop acting like self-enforced idiots.They also need to stop lying at every opportunity. For one thing, it's immoral. For another, it's not working.

Now, and finally, I just want to make the point that although Canada recognizes the Queen as sovereign, Canada is NOT part of Great Britain in any way shape or form. Canada is not bound by the laws of Great Britain, and it is NOT a "dominion" of Great Britain, any more than Great Britain is a "dominion" of Canada. Please, crack a book once in a while.

Canada is in the Commonwealth and hasn’t been a dominion, or especially, a dependency of the British crown, for many decades. You are blowing.smoke. like your god, trump.
