dion的双重国籍是conflict of interest，直接损害加拿大全体公民的利益。而emerson跳槽，不过是政治游戏（像伯林达一样）。对加拿大整体没有损害。这么浅显的道理谁都能看出来。不知dion是轴，还是另有难言之隐。

Dion among a dozen MPs with dual citizenships
Dion among a dozen MPs with dual citizenships
Last Updated: Friday, December 8, 2006 | 5:21 PM ET
CBC News
At least 11 members of Parliament, other than Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion, hold dual citizenships, CBC.ca research has confirmed.
Dion was criticized this week because of his reluctance to give up his French citizenship. He was born in Canada but holds dual citizenship because his mother was born in France.
The Parliament of Canada website shows that 41 of the 308 MPs sitting in the House of Commons were born in 28 countries other than Canada, ranging from Uganda and Malta to China and the United Kingdom.
Many of these MPs qualify for dual citizenship. That puts them in the ranks of the 691,300 people living in Canada who hold dual citizenships, according to the 2001 census.
CBC.ca called their offices to check on their current status and found that the following MPs hold dual citizenships:
Health Minister Tony Clement's office had not returned repeated calls by Friday afternoon.
Keith Martin's spokeperson said the Liberal MP doesn't like to divulge personal information, and Conservative John Williams's spokesperson couldn't comment on his citizenship.
The remaining 27 MPs don't hold dual citizenships.
Other MPs may be eligible for dual citizenship through their parents or spouses, as is the case with Dion.
Many not interested in dual citizenship
Recent changes in laws allowing dual citizenship in other countries mean that some MPs born abroad are now eligible to renew the citizenship they had to relinquish when they moved to Canada.
However, many aren't interested in doing so, according to the CBC.ca survey.
Those include MPs born in Italy — such as Liberals Maurizio Bevilacqua, Albina Guarnieri, Maria Minna and Joe Volpe — and MPs born in India like Liberals Sukh Dhaliwal and Ujjal Dosanjh.
Maria Mourani of the Bloc Québécois could be eligible for three citizenships. She is a Canadian citizen, but was born in Ivory Coast and held a passport from there. She also held a Lebanese passport, for which she was eligible through her parents.
Both passports have expired, but she is still eligible to claim citizenship with both countries.
Dual citizenship important to some
For some MPs, their second citizenship is important. Liberal Lui Temelkovski, a Macedonian-Canadian citizen, says he encourages his children to study abroad and learn other languages.
NDP Tony Martin was born in Ireland but does not hold dual citizenship. However, he understands why someone would want to hold two citizenships.
"There are a myriad of reasons for it … to participate as a citizen of the world," he said.
Many of the MPs told CBC.ca that the world is becoming smaller, and that their birth in another country reflects the many nations that make up Canada.
For others, like Libby Davies, the question came as a surprise.
"I don't know if I have dual citizenship," she said. "I guess I do. I've never renounced it, but I don't have a British passport. I consider myself truly Canadian."

- Wajid Khan (Ontario Liberal), with Pakistan.
- Maka Kotto (Quebec Bloc Québécois), with France.
- Pablo Rodriguez (Quebec Liberal), with Argentina.
- Michael Savage (Nova Scotia Liberal), with the United Kingdom.
- Mario Silva (Ontario Liberal), with Portugal.

When Dhaliwal arrived in Canada, dual citizenship with India wasn't allowed. Now, though he could renew his Indian citizenship, he told CBC.ca, "At this point in time, I am a Canadian citizen."Maria Mourani of the Bloc Québécois could be eligible for three citizenships.

来加拿大近２０年，就这种水平，连助选的志愿者（义工）都不懂。还好意思教训人。真是无知者无畏。任何一个党的候选人周围都有几百个，甚至上千个志愿者。他们不但分文不得，还常掏钱作政治捐款。连吃比萨饼喝饮料都得交钱。这些人像普通人一样都是为自己的政治理念在作努力(请见首页的照片）。直接参与进去。不像某人坐在家里似乎悟出什么惊人的治世哲学，动不动就摆架势教训人。连回帖少于３个字都要训斥。如此下去，再过多少年恐怕也难体会到民主选举的真意。您早吭声是拿人“钱”替人办事的不就结了，省得我费口舌还跟您争论呢。
。。。明年我就来加20年了。应该说加拿大是我最熟悉和了解的国家。
我敢说我比大多数老中都明白民主的意义。。。。估计你现在不能理解，过些年你就能体会到了。
我这贴从９月２９日贴出就明确表示是为中区保守党候选人麦加利拉选票。怎么称“没早吭声”？没近来看看，是您老眼神不好。或者是一见保守党三个字就跳过去。跟我争论可能有点累，还是忽悠来加不久的新移民比较轻松惬意。不送了。

dion的双重国籍是conflict of interest，直接损害加拿大全体公民的利益。而emerson跳槽，不过是政治游戏（像伯林达一样）。对加拿大整体没有损害。这么浅显的道理谁都能看出来。不知dion是轴，还是另有难言之隐。
你不如让议会修改法律以取消双重国籍更有用一些。
emerson选举前曾经大骂哈泊和保守党，却在选后不久即被高官位收买而投入保守党，这个棋本是保守党为争取将来的多数党地位而布，不想却惹翻了当地选民。这也就是emerson宣布推出本次大选的原因之一。
Dion保留双重国籍没有什么难言之隐，他在当选党魁不久接受采访时就说过了，法国国籍系继承自母亲，他珍视从其母亲那里继承的一切，他爱加拿大也不比任何人差。
难得像你这样的保守党义工对Dion的双重国籍咬住不放，由此也可以看出保守党大势已去，只能纠缠于一些小的枝节而已。

at leat MP Harper is cool-headed. Read this: Harper raises prospect of Prime Minister Dion - Yahoo! Canada News
Harper raises prospect of Prime Minister Dion
By Bruce Cheadle, The Canadian Press
[SIZE=-2]ADVERTISEMENT[/SIZE]
RICHMOND, B.C. - Stephen Harper has raised the prospect of "Prime Minister Dion" in an unorthodox but calculated Conservative bid to sharpen the choices faced by voters just a long weekend away from decision day.
In normal times, a campaigning prime minister would never confer the top title onto his chief opponent. But these are not normal times for a Conservative party that has watched its safe, commanding lead in public opinion polls melt away over the last week.
A Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll Thursday showed the campaign firming up into a two-horse race - yet one without broad public enthusiasm for either of the front-runners.
The Tories polled 32 per cent - down from a high of 41 early in the campaign - with the Liberals under Leader Stephane Dion five points back at 27 per cent.
The New Democrats sat at 19 per cent, the Greens at 12 per cent and the Bloc Quebecois at eight.
"There will be one of two outcomes," Harper said Thursday at a news conference before heading east for a crucial, final weekend of campaigning in Ontario and Quebec.
"There will either be Prime Minister Dion, who will tackle our economic problems by increasing spending that we cannot afford and increasing taxes to pay for it. Or our government, which will keep spending under control and keep taxes going down.
"Those are the two choices to deal with the economic problems in front of us."
It was no slip of the tongue for a prime minister not known for message freelancing.
Harper returned to the theme later in the same news conference, stating it should be "obvious this is a real choice in this election where power could change hands."
