Increasingly, don't you read stories like this? Headline: Canadian held in Syria without consular access

His name? Maher Ahmed Zeidan. He's, uh, a typical Canadian with, ah, dual citizenship.

Or maybe not . Liberal MP Dan McTeague, Parliamentary Secretary for Canadians Abroad: "We are simply going on an assumption presented to us by a human rights organization that a Canadian has been detained. It is clear that Canadians with dual citizenship must understand that, when in Syria, their Canadian citizenship is not recognized."
