Intriguing guy because of his past relationship with Peyton Manning, particularly if classified as a National.
Knee issue seems to have been resolved, but there are certainly concussion questions to be asked.

Under U.S. law a person who takes the renunciatory oath of allegiance is supposed to be precluded from retaining dual allegiances. However, as stated above, whether or not foreign nationality is lost is determined by the laws of the country of foreign nationality, not the laws of the United States.
[b]Subsection 15(1) of the prior citizenship statute did contain a prohibition against dual nationality. The text of this subsection is reproduced below:
Canadian citizens who, when outside Canada and not under a disability, by voluntary and formal act other than marriage, acquired the nationality of citizenship of a country other than Canada, thereupon ceases to be a Canadian citizen.
However, prohibitions against dual nationality do not appear in the current Citizenship Act. [/b]

Dual Citizenship in the United States
Dual citizenship had previously been banned in the United States, but in 1967 the US Supreme Court struck down most laws forbidding dual citizenship.
[url=http://www.legallanguage.com/legal-articles/dual-citizenship-united-states/]http://www.legallanguage.com/legal-arti ... ed-states/[/url]Why was it only in 1946 that Canada decided to enact its first citizenship law which prohibited multiple national allegiances? Why was a similar proposal abandoned in 1931? And why was this citizenship law changed in 1977 to allow dual citizenship?

1 January, 1947
Up to January 1, 1947, there was no legal status of Canadian citizens, only British subjects. This Act gave legal recognition to the terms “Canadian citizen’’ and “Canadian citizenship’’. The Act established who was, and who could become a Canadian citizen. There were many provisions for loss of citizenship, including retention provisions for the first and subsequent generations born outside Canada. The Act also contained provisions which provided special treatment for British subjects. In general, Canadian citizens who acquired citizenship of another country automatically lost Canadian citizenship (dual citizenship was not recognized).

J’ai fait mes devoirs. Tu peux désouffler la balloune que t’as sur le cou. T’as le sang rouge et moi aussi. 
I think his situation is smilar to Shea Emry. He’s one bad concussion from retirement… Being away from the game for a few years really helps. Look at Federkeil.
Holy Shiat LeStaf ! Let me grab my glasses
After reading your quotes from US immigration. I was wrong about Dual Citizenship never being prohibited it appears it was prior to Canada being a sovereign country (1967). (Thank you, I learned something) but your quotes prove the fact that the US has no power or has ever had the power of removing someone’s Canadian Citizenship. If your a Natural Born Canadian no one can take that away from you.
However, as stated above, whether or not foreign nationality is lost is determined by the laws of the country of foreign nationality, not the laws of the United States.
Absolument. C’est pourquoi je t’avais répondu de cette manière. À une époque lointaine, les États-Unis ne reconnaissaient pas la double nationalité, et pendant la même époque, l’acquisition d’une autre citoyenneté faisait perdre aux canadiens leur citoyenneté canadienne.
Les lois ont changé tant aux USA qu’au Canada, de sorte qu’aujourd’hui, la réponse que tu as donnée au départ est l’état actuel de la question.
Cela dit, on aurait pu avoir cette discussion autrement qu’avec des apostrophes. Bon. Passons.
Colliece que c'est compliqué!
LeStaf, vas-tu entonner notre hymne national tel que suggéré par notre ami Haligonien?
We can see that Popp's devoting time to find a Canadian receiver for us but, those concussions ???? If I were his father I would remind him that he could become brain damaged and, might be best for him to examine all the material that PBS and other organizations that publish such concussion rated material. Remember we now have one ex American receiver, Arland Bruce 111 who is suing the CFL for the brain damage he received from his days in Winnipeg Hamilton and the Argos for the alleged brain damage he received while playing in the CFL.
His father and his family have been very supportive of him. At this point everything is up in the air because of Madani’s leak the other GM’s are trying to cut Jim’s legs off from underneath him. Would be really great to have him but if not there is still Giguere or guys like Demski and Durant. As long as he addresses it.
Si je le fais, mon écran d’ordi va pèter! Je chante tellement mal que même vous allez devoir consulter pour vos oreilles.
I’m sure you can do better than this guy :lol:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpXzASiXX8USo you’ll land between him and Ginette. Could be worse 8)
Oui, je peux être même pire que lui! :twisted:
J’aime bien Ginette, mais pour moi, personne n’a encore surpassé Roger Doucet.
D'autre part, la rumeur persistait à l'effet que l'ancien receveur de passes des Colts d'Indianapolis Austin Collie se serait entendu avec les Alouettes pour la saison 2015.En conférence de presse, l’état-major des Alouettes a toutefois refusé d’embarquer dans le jeu des spéculations. Elle n’a pas nié l’information mais ne l’a pas confirmée non plus.
If in fact Collie has signed it would have been disrespectful to SJ to have it as part of the same press conference.
I agree. Glad to see they learned their lesson from the AC telephone announcement.
Apparently all a false alarm.

@JakeHatch77 Don't believe wht u hear. The report of me plying for Montreal is completely false.
We don`t need poor spellers on our team anyways!
It was actually Herb who broke the "story" before Madani.
Looks like he pulled a Casey Printers. Watch him land in Ottawa :lol:
