  I wonder if I, too, could be a citizen by recursion.

  That can’t be right. That’s infinitely recursive…

    Canada has only existed since 1867, so not exactly.

      So, if I understand this correctly, if I can prove that one of my ancestors was a Canadian citizen, then all their descendants have automatically been made Canadian citizens, including me?

        Inductively so, if they’re still alive.

      I was hopeful for a moment then realized that my Canadian ancestors would have been British.

      Not me! My great great great great grandmother died in Quebec, but that’s about my only connection to Canada :P

    Am I the only one that read this as an incest joke?

      If it’s a joke, I don’t understand my own joke :P
