Ted Cruz is Canadian???

So, let me get this straight.....a Canadian moves to Texas, and then when it snows and gets cold, he flees to Mexico???

Welp. Nobody can say that Ted Cruz is a stereotype. We CAN say he's an asshole though. Which I will. Ted Cruz is an asshole. There, I said it.

Yep. Asshole and secessionist Rafael “Ted” Cruz was born in the taint of Canada 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

The only reason I know Calgary exists, is because I was a wrestling fan in the 90s. And Bret Hart has been complaining since 1997 that he gets screwed harder than Jenna Jameson.

The Hitman!

He was a terrific wrestler

Not just terrific; the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

His mother was American and his father was, I believe, Cuban. Neither had Canadian citizenship. They happened to hatch him in the territory of Canada while his mom was working in Alberta, so he technically was Canadian until this all came out in 2014 or 2015 when he was running in the Republican primary and he renounced his citizenship. Unfortunately for you, he was a dual citizen thanks to his mother so you can't deport him back to us. Feel free to deport him into the Gulf of Mexico if you want, though.

Which is one of the dumbest parts since only people born in the US can be president lol.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Can we deport him to the homeland of his father? I'm guessing Cuba would have a few ideas about what should be done with Ted Cruz.

It's not that we're downplaying it. It's just that we wouldn't want the USA to deport him back here...

Canada's biggest embarrassment

[-] grte@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

That's Jordan Peterson. Cruz was a dual citizen until he renounced his Canadian citizenship so it's a shared shame, Peterson is strictly on us.

omg I forgot 😞

[-] gramie@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

He is a Canadian by virtue of being born here, but also American because of his parents. Thus he is eligible to become President. Please keep him!

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Please keep him!

No, U.

[-] Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He basically moved from Canada's wannabe Texas to actual Texas and we're not sorry he's gone... Just kind of sorry he's your problem now.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Born in Canada ( to an American ) and not Canadian ( not a citizen ).

The only thing good about all this is that he cannot be President.
