Knighthoods

From 1933 to 1935, Canadians did not have to renounce citizenship to receive
titles.  They were recommended by Prime Minister R. B. Bennett, who
contended that the 1919 Nickle Resolution was not a law. Bennett later went
to England, renounced his citizenship and became Viscount Bennett.
