They do have to prove it, legally, though, and that’s what can take so long. They want to make sure that when it goes to trial there’s no way he can wriggle away.

However long it takes for a case to get public attention.

It depends on the citizenship law that was in effect at the time of your father’s birth, and whether or not your grandmother gave up her Canadian citizenship to become a US citizen before your father’s birth. First-generation born abroad are eligible for Canadian citizenship if they had one Canadian parent at the time…

Did your grandmother have Canadian citizenship? If so, you may qualify for citizenship purely on that alone.

You should be able to, I thought the rule was if your grandparent was born in Canada your OK. The rules are insane though and vary depending on the year you or your parent were born. I have dual US and Canadian citizenship, I was born in the US and have the Canadian through my mom who is Canadian citizen and a US…

It is generally pretty difficult to emigrate to Canada. My husband barely ekes out enough points and only because he works in an in demand profession and is married to a citizen.

I straight up cried. I don’t consider myself terribly emotional, but between Canada’s beautiful reception and Humans of New York lately, I’m a mess.

The NYT fb feed read, ‘You are home.’ and I choked up.

Canada is back to shaming us neighbors to the south with their good governance. All is right in the natural world again.

the harsh reality is that tribes wasn’t making them money. they loved it, which is why they showed that love in this patch, but they have to pay their employees so they can continue working and eating first. they have expanded their company a TON since the launch of smite I expect that they will have a lot more…

Relax. Bernie officially became a Democrat this year, and isn’t going to run as an Independent if he doesn’t get the Democratic nomination. He’s not going to throw the election to the Republicans.

I’m pretty sure a “little” case of voter fraud and disenfranchisement in Jeb Bush’s Florida lost Al Gore that election. Interesting how the narrative has changed such that we blame 2.5% of the population for what was clearly a massive failure of democracy on the state and federal levels.

Yes, not judging someone based solely on probably biased allegations is misogyny; good job trying to make that word meaningless, therefore making it easier for ACTUAL misogyny to flourish.

Addiction turns you into the monster you were always secretly afraid you were. It’s a horrible disease, but one that methodically and ruthlessly strips away your ability to have anything to give to the people who love and rely on you. Weiland’s treatment of his children is inexcusable. No, he didn’t do it “on…

“and the second being that anyone who was really into Star Wars was a target for bullying, derision and general nastiness”

There is like a 25% chance this is an ill-considered performance art project. I hope it is.

Lynch mobs, huh?

Yes. We need to stop eviscerating each other over minor gaffes, especially within and among liberals. That kind of infighting, frankly, is stupid, reactive, and accomplishes nothing but division among allies. It’s dumb. Give people a goddamn break—particularly when you know they’re on your side.

So, this is what feminism at Jezebel has come to?

Yes. The demand of perfection that a lot of modern progressives have is getting tiring. That used to be the domain of conservatives and more nuanced, sophisticated thought for us liberals. Not so anymore.
