who are American "citizens" according to the SCOTUS , yet have overseas domiciles? I have no sympathy for this American wanting exemptions. Either return to the US, give up your US citizenship, or pay for the privilege of being a US citizen. It is obvious that you have no intention of leaving Canada, so do the right thing.

Frankly, I would like you to expand on :

we strongly object to a system that is blatantly discriminatory and unfair to law-abiding Americans living outside the country. In addition, it has become too expensive, too difficult, and frankly, too frightening, to try to comply with all of the tax filing requirements that now apply to citizens living abroad.

"Discriminatory?" How? It was your choice. "Unfair" - because you HAVE TO file? " Too exensive, too difficult, too frightening (are you under some sort of threat)" - You are aware that every US citizen feels this way around April 15 each year, aren't you?
