@5C58T5P4yrs4Y
that is a stupid question what are you going to do deport a citizen if they fail the test
@5BT5HVR4yrs4Y
No. This is a stupid question. What happens if they are born in Canada and they fail? We shoot them on the spot? Stupid.
@5HX93R24yrs4Y
Yes and it should be taught more adamantly in schools
@B29PP763wks3W
Immigrants (and naturalized citizens) should be required to pass a citizenship test to demonstrate a basic understanding of ethics and morality.

Yes, but only for language wherever they are going in the country, whether that be English or French.

Yes, But the focus should be on Language and Laws rather then history and government.
@9898F442yrs2Y
