My nephew's grandfather (on his mom's side) was born in Ireland, and I keep telling him to go for citizenship. It opens up the whole EU to him.
Why was my dad not born on St. Pierre?
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I need to marry a Scotsman.
I keep saying this!
I checked a few years ago and having a Canadian grandfather didn't make me eligible for citizenship. I wonder if that's changed.

I think you need one parent to have been a Canadian citizen.

Yeah, that's what it was. Oh well. AFAIK my father wasn't, he was born in Michigan.

Oh, unless your grandfather was working for the Crown (gov't) when your dad was born.

My grandfather was an unemployed beekeeper who was probably so drunk he didn't realize he'd become American.

ZK, that is is clearly a Corb Lund song I am beside myself.

I can't even.
Canadian citizenship is harder to get than it used to be, especially for Brits.
I have UK by birth, hoping to lose that one soon, and just keep the Scottish. (No offense, lovely English people, but your Tories are very much not my cup of tea.) Canadian by my father's birth (and by living here continuously since Christ was a cowboy.)
It will sting to lose the EU, even though I've never used it. It seemed like being part of a bigger saner world, you know?

I had to look up who Corb Lund was...
