I Dunno two of my friends have(late '90's) bought land up in Quebec where we use to fish but they haven't built their cabin. Not sure if they had to have duel citizen ship or not. But I don't think that was accurate at least 20 yrs back

not sure. but I know for a fact people have dual citizenship here. and I for one do not like it. I have family members that have dual citizenship actually. and again, I don't fucking like it. not cool. not cool at all.
If we have a problem with the Canadians then more than likely there are douche nozzles in DC

It doesn't apply to all countries. You cannot be dual with China.

Yeah I know a couple of dual citizens.  It's only disallowed for certain countries as far as I can tell.

I will note that for USAID, not every mission it funds is blacks ops or teaching questionable progressive art to Afghan women.  My cousin works (worked) for a non-profit that among other things, works to bring clean water and uncontaminated food to impoverished communities in Africa.  She was the managing business director, and personally administered their budget.  None of it was spent superfluously, it was all used as wisely as possible.  To those concerned about China building roads and whatnot, the USA has been countering China's endeavors to exert soft power, with our own, and my cousin was just furloughed as a result of the recent actions of the current administration.

It's tough to watch us throw out the baby with the bathwater, but I do agree there's a lot that needs to change. Hopefully we can eventually get the pendulum to swing back a bit and exert some common sense.

well yeah, that's the thing. US-A.I.D. did SOME actual useful, good humanitarian aid work- but that work was few and far between- and it's nothing but a front/cover. vast majority of it's budget goes towards things that are decisively not humanitarian aid.

US-A.I.D. is not a humanitarian aid organization- and never was- it's acronym doesn't stand for aid because well- it's not an aid program/agency- it was founded by JFK in 1961 to act as a cut-out/go between for the CIA. That's literally the reason for it's entire existence- and the "humanitarian aid" arm is nothing but a cover. US-A.I.D. has done wild shit from funding terror organizations and drug cartels to creating a fake twitter in Cuba to try to destablize that society to running intelligence ops out of HIV clinics.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2014/04/03/cuban-twitter-and-other-times-usaid-pretended-to-be-an-intelligence-agency/

if the US really wants to create a humanitarian aid agency they can do that- create a new agency whose sole mission & purpose is humanitarian aid and call it something like- USHAA- United States Humanitarian Aid Agency- have it run under/report directly to US State Dept- and you can do it with a much smaller budget & staff than US-A.I.D.- with much tighter/stricter controls, guardrails, accounting/reporting/ all kinds of firewalls to ensure complete separation from CIA/intelligence.

you want to learn about what US-A.I.D. actually is, watch this:

RE: Dual citizenship

I once worked for a guy (land surveyor) who was a Canadian citizen. He told me that to become a US citizen he would have to renounce his Canadian citizenship as the US didn't allow dual.

When did this change?
Canada started allowing it in 77, us in 67. 

I think I’m a dual citizen, with a possible option for a third if I so choose. Feels like a kind of whatever situation, but I wouldn’t mind picking up a second passport in case of became useful.

My thoughts are (hope), that all the toys are broken first, separate the wheat from the chaff, and then reinstitute the good things, and eliminate the graft --- forever.

Or just disband the infiltrated orgs altogether, and create new humanitarian orgs, with unbelievable amounts of oversight.
