A few years in residence does not an American make.
Lime roots and treachery!

Iggy's former residence is a big negative in his leadership campaign.

Honestly, I don't know much about the candidates, but I am a Kennedy supporter at this point, though that might be largely due to the fact that he actually took time to come talk at McGill
Also, I would say that given what the Conservatives have done to me financially, it'd be a long, long time before I'd even consider voting for them."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Kennedy may be a strong candidate in the future, just not now.
He is bright and articulate but still quite green politically and has the insurmaountable language issue. IMHO you must speak french to be a successful PM.
Give him time to ripen and learn french and he will be good to go."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Iggy also lived in the UK for 22 years.
From 1978 to 2005 he lived outside Canada. It's an issue.
Given that your Constitution requires the Presidents to have lived in the US for the last 14 years, you shouldn't be surprised at that.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

If KH had been out of the country since 1978(!!) and returned to run for national office, I suspect he too would have to face this issue.
Tell me DD, would a presidential aspirant that was out of the US for 27 years not have to face this issue?"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

And as I pointed out, it is a huge negative for his campaign. Deny it if you want but it is fact."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

I don't think I did. I just found the notion that he's from my country or even that a few years of residence an American makes amusing is all.
However there doesn't seem to be a similar residency requirement for PM as there is for the US President so I don't see how it could be much of a substantive issue since you failed to make it a requirement for the office. However I can see how it my be a perception issue nonetheless.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

It's not just a perception issue. You didn't make it a requirement to not be a cannibal in order to become President. Does that mean that it's simply a perception issue if a Presidential candidate was a cannibal?12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET
