Ok, so what part of the constitution is this in violation of? If you're going to make that suggestion please back it up.

He has a dual citizenship unless the article I read was wrong.

We're talking about the rights of people with multiple citizenships who are convicted terrorists, last I checked acts of terrorism aren't particularly Canadian things to do. The only "expansion" I've heard of so far is to include other people who have moved here, have a dual citizenship, and have been convicted of a serious crime. That seems like a reasonable enough response to someone who has brought nothing but a negative impact to Canada.
