I doubt that #ConradBlack's #Canadian citizenship "has been reinstated". I'd like to see proof. I was very happy when he renounced his citizenship in 2001; Canada is better off without him. He can be #Britain's problem.

@SonofaGeorge Maybe we will have some satisfaction seeing him stranded in an airport somewhere in Europe, stateless, and travellers can leave him remains of their sandwiches as they rush off to their flights back to Toronto.
