🇨🇦 U.S. applications for Canadian citizenship surge, causing delays

So we've opened the floodgates to millions of Americans who can now claim Canadian citizenship based on ancestry stretching back over a century, and we're shocked that 14,000 immediately jumped the queue. New Englanders with a great-great-grandparent from Quebec can now waltz in, grab a passport, and access our healthcare and pensions without ever having contributed a dime or lived a day under our system. Meanwhile, actual applicants who've been here for years get shoved to the back of a year-long line.

This isn't immigration policy, it's ancestry tourism with full benefits attached. Trudeau-era citizenship giveaways continue to treat Canadian identity like a loyalty card anyone can dig out of the attic. Sovereignty sold for paperwork.
