Well Canada is Commonwealth, so technically he could run if resident in Jam for 1 year before election. However, given the brouhaha, the SPIRIT of the law should have been upheld and no dual citizen should have been in that a by-election. Legalism is not a substitute for doing the "right" thing.
As far as I am concerned, any country that require visa from Jamaica should get no special privilege in terms of our representation process. They treat us as alien, we treat them the same.
This is why Dudley Thompson was illegal. Though ONLY Jamaican, he had not lived in Jam for 1 year before being nominated for the 1976 election!
