Taxes and President Donald Trump are now leading some dual citizens to consider renouncing their U.S. citizenship. (Francis Ferland/CBC)"I align more with Canadian values and I'd be fine with not having an American citizenship,” Heyder said. More dual citizens are contemplating making the same move, according to Alex Marino, leader of the U.S. tax practice at Moody Tax Law in Calgary. "Hitler stripped Jews of citizenship, so I think about citizenship in regard to that," Joel Westheimer said. Ella Heyder said keeping that right to vote is the one thing holding her back from renouncing her U.S. citizenship.
