Good.

Seeing how overwhelmed the Canadian government was by fraud in the Student Visa program -- where an auditor general report noted that they had over 75k alleged reports of fraud, to which they could only 'investigate' 2k per year -- I imagine they're also totally unable to properly review/vet these sorts of applications.

It seems like a bad idea, honestly, to allow Americans to 'claim' to be Canadians at this juncture, without vetting. I imagine there are a lot of "Americans" who want to claim to be Canadian, move to Alberta, to vote a certain way.
