He released his Canadian birth certificate. He released his mothers birth certificate. He released his renunciation document. The only thing he has not released is his CRBA.
So, his campaign used ambiguous reference to mother Cruz applying for it at the consulate. Not when though. Was Ted a baby? Was Ted a teen?
It isn’t out of bounds to consider that both of Teds parents MAY have applied for Canadian citizenship at the same time, as in,together. They were married and had a family, child born right there in Canada. They had a business based in Canada. They lived in Canada quite a few years. Father Cruzs’ Canadian citizenship came through in 1973 I am told. He ditched mother Cruz and young Ted and trotted back to the USA for a year. Mother Cruz STAYED BEHIND. I have wondered why she would stay? Alone and expat with a young child in a country which borders her home country. Anyway, I don’t do conspiracies, but it is an interesting question from a human interest angle.
I don’t think I have heard mother Cruz has come out and stated that she never naturalized to Canada. I don’t even know if there is a claim floating around that she did so. Only that Cruz insists she didn’t.
I read some quote from Cruz’ father (dang I wish I knew where), sometime in the last week or so, that he and his wife became Canadian citizens.
She had supposedly been married before to another Canadian who later moved to London after their divorce.
I came across this the other day that has a few more details, as well as the interesting fact that. dual citizenship wasn't recognized in Canada until 1977
