"Thanks to a new law, Canada will bestow citizenship Friday on what its government believes could be hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting foreigners, most of them Americans.

The April 17 amendment to Canada's Citizenship Act automatically restores Canadian nationality to many people forced to renounce it when they became citizens of another country. It also grants citizenship to their children."


Is it me, or does this just seem like a shifty way to increase income tax revenue?

If I find myself suddenly Canadian, can I sue vending machine manufacturers for discrimination for making machines that won't take my Canadian nickel?
