Manitoba PC Leader Spends 20 percent of His Time Abroad

[links18]

So, is Brian Pallister a "Canadian of Convenience"? Lucky for him, he doesn't have to account for his time abroad to IRCC/CIC, because he doesn't really recall. And this guy wants to be Premier?

He was born in Canada so he can't be a "Canadian of convenience".

He's simply making poor decisions about where he spends his time given he aspires to be premier.

Canadian of Convenience is usually given to those who have dual citizenship who is only using the Canadian citizenship for convenient sake while using their native citizenship in their own country (use Canada for war pullout / medical) or using Canadian citizenship to work in other countries like US, when their native citizenship won't do (treating Canada as a stepping stone).

Besides Brian spent about 2.5 months outside Canada. So what? He is still a resident of Canada and still pay taxes. So using Brian is a poor example of being called "Canadian of Convenience".

Sounds to me like he'd rather live in Costa Rica.
