New poll shows a majority of Canadians want to ban citizens from serving in the U.S. military.

    As a Canadian, I’m amazed that a majority wish for more freedom-restricting laws because of hurt feelings.

      I think it causes a bit more than “hurt feelings” when another country publicly says it wants to annex another country.

        There still shouldn’t “be a law” to ban Canadians from serving in an ally’s military. Or from seeking employment wherever one chooses.

          It’s called National Security, and that’s one of the reasons no one tells you anything

          If you can’t see(lion) past your own hurt feelings, then obviously you’re just a troll or russobot

          Serving in a foreign military involves swearing loyalty to that foreign country. What happens when that country attacks ours?

          If one wanted to find work as a mercenary providing military skills on contract, that could be a different issue. But that’s not what you’re proposing.

            dude…the head of the PC party while l’il PP moved to AB is a US citizen, as he was when he tried to run for Prime Minister.
            He said he was going to drop his US citizenship.

      I mean, that’s how it usually worked.

      That said, how would you feel about a Canadian joining the North Korean or Russian militaries? You’d think there’d be some line where a person is too much of an enemy to also be a citizen.
