WHAT WAS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE...

As it did in the 2008 Election, the question has come up about the national allegiance of a leader for a Canadian political party, and not just any leader, one has the potential to be Canadian Prime Minister.  In fact this time it's not just allegiance but citizenship that's in question.
And this is a big deal.  In 2008, Conservatives hounded the candidate.  Attack after attack, because as far as Conservatives are concerned, you are either Canadian or you're not.  With us or against us!  That's the Conservative motto.

So I expect the outrage by Conservatives to kick into high gear now that it's come out that a 2019 Party Leader, and potential the next Prime Minister of Canada, is also an AMERICAN!
And he's had this dual citizenship the entire time he's been a Member of Parliament - which, for the record is 13 years!!  
But they won't.  They'll let this pass to.
Because the level of Conservative hypocrisy knows no bottom!
Not only did Andrew Scheer (who should forever be known now as #LyinAndy) fail to renounce his AMERICAN citizenship for the first 11 years he was a member of Canada's Parliament, not only did LyinAndy fail to renounce it when he was a member of Canada's Government under Stephen Harper, but he still hung onto it for the 2+ years he's been LEADER OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF CANADA!!
And did he tell the voters about it?  Did he come clean he was an AMERICAN?  No.  He hid that fact from the Canadian voter while seeking the highest position of government we have!!
So if Michael Ignatieff, a person who has only ever held Canadian citizenship, can be accused of JUST VISITING because he got a great teaching gig at an Ivy League University THEN surely someone who failed to renounce their AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP and could've picked up and left the country without even saying good-bye is even more suspect.
AFTER ALL, YOU ARE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US, RIGHT?
So I expect Andrew Scheer will be stepping down as Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada now that's it come out he an American, not because he's been filing American taxes all this time but because....
He must've known it was a big deal - why else hide it from the voters!
I joked earlier but now I actually do need to ask for Scheer's long form birth certificate. Seriously, what else don't we know about the man who could be PM?

And they should look up KARMA because like Trump to the south it seems whatever they've accused others of they're way more guilty of it themselves - and as they say, what's good for the goose...
