520 _aThis paper mobilizes three dimensions of the civic integration paradigm to understand the “maternity tourism” debate — a debate about jus soli birthright citizenship — in the settler-colonial context of Canada. Focusing on liberal democratic values/nationalism/race; morality; and the welfare state, the analysis demonstrates how these dimensions of civic integration draw boundaries between citizens and outsiders. It then examines two contexts in which revelations regarding maternity tourism provoked the Conservative party to consider abolishing citizenship based on birth in the territory. The terms of these debates expose assumptions about appropriate citizenship, providing lessons in belonging for those who seek membership in the Canadian political community and those who already claim it.
