No, she had it...because I was a Canadian child. But we were still chattel of our fathers. Really, about looking back, I would suggest it's time to look forward and correct these laws. We shouldn't go on witch hunts of who is and who is not a Canadian. This is clearly a common-sense issue and can be dealt with very quickly. One paragraph for a lot of countries did the trick.
So the minister got her citizenship by being born in Canada, but she could have lost it because of her father. These are really wacky, screwy laws, and we should go forward with common sense.
