Petition e-4511 – Opposing self-affirmation of the #citizenship oath “citizenship on a click” – Signatures to September 5

The chart below breaks down the 1,488 signatures as of 5 Septembe by province. No major changes by province as numbers plateau.

Fun detail to speculate about. Minister Miller is married to a former Swedish diplomat who presumably is also a naturalized Canadian and who participated in a citizenship ceremony. May bring a needed personal perspective to the ill-advised move to self-affirmation of the citizenship oath and the desired result that “participation in ceremonies would be lower than it is currently, and there would likely be fewer ceremonies overall:”
