I don't think you denizens of south of 49 are allowed dual citizenship. (Texas may be excepted but that is a special case.)
I don't have citizenship. I was born on an Air Force Base called Goose Bay Labrador, which is in Newfoundland. I was born an American Citizen and my birth certificate is a Department of State Report of Birth Abroad. That base was obviously nice for the Air Force as it was a pretty short trip over the polar ice caps for B-52's to bomb the Soviet Union but it's closed now. My parents have pics of snow piled 6 feet high there and, apparently, the base was practically inaccessible except by plane. I don't remember any of it as we moved when I was only 1.
Then no, it doesn't count, and you southrons still need a Canuck to keep you in line. ;-)

"The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they had discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar of 1500-year-old, 200 proof grace—a bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the gospel—after all these centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your own bootstraps—suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home-free before they started. Grace was to be drunk neat: no water, no ice, and certainly no ginger ale." – Robert Farrar Capon
