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::

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

Oh interwebs, make it so!!

The US doesn't recognise dual citizenship and will remove citizenship if you pledge alliegance to another state.

Tom didn't have to give up his UK citizenship when he became an American citizen. Just as a data point.

At new house, yay. Still need to get through delivery of stuff. Slight boo. But yay stuff.

YAY new house! Boo for waiting for everything to get there.

Amyth, ten million hearts for existing in the same universe as me.

I should check when Corb is coming to the PNw.

btw, Maria covered a lot of this, but you can be a US citizen and a citizen of another country. However, the US will not recognize you as a citizen of that other country.

What this means in practice is that if you are say, a US/UK citizen, and get arrested in Turkey, the US will not call the UK consulate for you. If you are a US/Ecuador citizen and get arrested in the US, you will be tried as an American and Ecuador won't have anything to say about it.

Most important, as this is what comes up the most, you must enter and leave the US on your US passport.

This citizenship discussion is fascinating!
