Thank you for that article regarding what looks to be part of a lawsuit regarding Cruz’s NBC status.
That part about Ted’s mom’s first husband (Mr. Wilson) and them wondering if she became Canadian because he might have been Canadian.... I’m not sure where they got that. The little bit I could find out about him was he was born and raised in Texas, lived in England for quite awhile (including with Ted’s mom) and then they were divorced. I didn’t see anything regarding Canada and Mr. Wilson.
The following link has a statement from the Cruz campaign. Although it is just a statement, and becomes a “he-said, she-said” situation:

EXCERPT:
The Cruz campaign offered the following statement exclusively to Breitbart News, presented in full (original emphasis):
[Except I deleted some stuff below!]
Eleanor was never a citizen of Canada, and she could not have been under the facts or the law. In short, she did not live in Canada long enough to be a Canadian citizen by the time Cruz was born in 1970: Canadian law required 5 years of permanent residence, and she moved to Canada in December 1967—only 3 years before Senator Cruz’s birth. Nothing in the document you sent shows anything to the contrary....
... Second, the document is from 1974. That is four years after Senator Cruz was born, so even if this document said anything about citizenship—and it does not—it would be irrelevant to the citizenship status of his mother at the time of his birth...
... Third, Eleanor was never a citizen of Canada; she never applied for Canadian citizenship or permanent residence. Instead, she spent her time in Canada under a work permit...
... Eleanor never became a permanent resident. Eleanor had lived in Canada for only three years by the time Cruz was born (from 1967 to 1970). Note that Cruz’s father, Rafael did become a Canadian citizen in 1973; Eleanor never did and therefore could never have registered to vote.
End excerpts.
Note that Ted’s father has said he lived in Canada for 8 years, leaving in 1974 back to the states. So that would be arriving in 1967 or 68. So his getting Canadian citizenship in 1973 as stated above would line up with having to wait five years for citizenship.
I hope that this info is being passed to people who may be able to use it in aome sort of official capacity; at least Trmp’s people and those doing lawsuits.
Fascinating.
