Summary:
"When Vancouver-born Don Chapman was six years old, he was stripped of his Canadian
citizenship
, thanks to an arcane provision of the 1947 Canadian
Citizenship
Act. Years later, he was stunned to discover that he couldn't return to his homeland, and thus began his David and Goliath battle to change Canada's discriminatory
citizenship
laws. He's since become the voice for hundreds of thousands of others like himself, now collectively known as the
Lost
Canadians
, whose ranks have included such Canadian icons as Roméo Dallaire, Guy Lombardo, Leslie Nielsen, Ricky Gervais, and Nobel Prize winners Willard Boyle and Saul Bellow. Children born on military bases overseas were affected, as were tens of thousands of Second World War brides and their children. The author renders in heartbreaking detail the stories of
Lost
Canadians
who've had their identities torn from them, thanks to labyrinthine legislation, bumbling bureaucracy, disinterested politicians, and a complacent media. After decades, Don's quest has restored
citizenship
to around one million people"--Provided by publisher.
