The US has made it hard and expensive to renounce that citizenship.

Re: “End dual citizenship”

Rod Retzlaff wants to ban dual citizenship in Canada. I’m guessing that he isn’t aware of the fact that all Canadian citizens who were born in the US were retroactively granted dual citizenship a number of years ago, whether they wanted it or not. The US has also made it hard and expensive to renounce that citizenship.
