And your point is...........
I think the point of that graphic is that, if you hold dual citizenship and you're non-white, your loyalty to Canada will forever be in question. It's a sad example of how dog whistle politics has become more overt in our politics in recent years.
This article sums it up well:
https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/2019/10/04/scheers-dual-citizenship-answer-inadvertentlygets-to-the-nub-of-who-gets-to-be-unquestionably-canadian.htmlFrom the article:"When asked on Thursday why he didn’t come forward with this before, Scheer inadvertently hit the nail on the head. “I was never asked about it,” he said. [...] In that quote lies the nub of a profound problem of identity: who gets to be unquestionably Canadian? Scheer was not asked because nobody thought to question his Canadianness as a white man.
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May is white. She was born in the U.S. and only came to Canada as a teenager in 1972. Nobody questions her belonging to Canada. [...] Their rival NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, born in Scarborough, Ont., is Canadian born, Canadian bred. [...] On Wednesday, as Singh was strolling through a Montreal market to meet voters, a man came up to him, leaned in — an instantly recognizable gesture to many Canadians of colour — and said, “You know what? You should cut your turban off. You’ll look like a Canadian.”
On Thursday, the [Bloc Quebecois] party posted on Twitter Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet’s statement during the previous night’s French-language debate, urging voters to choose men and women “qui vous ressemblent”: “who are like you” or “who look like you.”
It is this blatant."
