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.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
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...

esse, ten thousand hearts for the Corb Lund reference.
Speaking of, I just got an email that he's touring this fall/winter, and will be playing in NYC the day before I get there. ::sadface::

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh interwebs, make it so!!
