By the end of the federal election campaign, will Thomas Mulcair announce that he is renouncing his French citizenship?
Yes: 10%
(Mulcair does not need to actually renounce his French citizenship during the campaign, but he does have to announce that he will do so whether or not he wins the election)
Thomas Mulcair, the federal NDP leader, has dual French-Canadian citizenship. There has been some criticism of him for not renouncing his French citizenship (see article here, for instance). He has promised to renounce his French citizenship if he wins the election. Former Liberal leader Stéphane Dion also had dual French-Canadian citizenship, and did not renounce it.
I think that nothing will happen during the campaign; Mulcair has already decided what to do about his French citizenship, and the issue will likely not receive much attention in the campaign. If it does receive attention, it is possible that Mulcair will renounce his citizenship, although he seems reluctant to do so.
