Abstract

This paper presents the results from a qualitative study that analyzed online comments as an instance of public opinion related to proposed government amendments to the regulations of the Oath of Citizenship. Over six hundred comments submitted to the Canada Gazette web site from February to March 2023 were examined with a text analysis software to identify if the online comments were reflective of specific experiences of the individuals submitting their opinions, or if they were more general and connected to broader political themes. The analysis also looked to uncover any proposals across groups with distinct positions about the regulations that could build a consensus about this public policy related to the Oath of Citizenship process.
