92-year-old veteran and author of acclaimed book Harry’s Last Stand inspires Canada’s young progressive activists

The Canadian government passed Bill C-24 this week, giving itself the power to revoke citizenship of dual citizens convicted in Canadian courts or abroad of committing "acts against Canada,"including terrorism, espionage or treason.
