So, I have to issue a correction. Earlier, I referred to Sen. Ted "Calgary" Cruz as a "former Canadian." It turns out I was wrong. He's still a Canadian. And while he may want to renounce his citizenship, the process could take a long time: Senator Cruz may have to wait eight months to stop being Canadian Senator Ted Cruz, who recently discovered that he is likely a Canadian, must win security clearance from Canada's spy agency, fill in a four-page form and then wait up to eight months to sever his ties to America's northern neighbor. Oh, also too, he needs to pay Canada $100 (in their currency) in order to give up his citizenship.
