If, like Percy's mother, my father got his American citizenship after I was born, would that then confer dual citizenship on me too?
It's complicated. If our father was born in Canada, then you may well be a citizen, but there are some complicating rules and if this means something to you some research would be involved and some facts would need to be explored.
However, you might not be able to pass that citizenship on. Canadian law contains a cutoff on citizenship acquired without being in Canada. Does not extend it to second generation, but does make it easier for this second generation folks to obtain citizenship if they apply.
There is a solid chance that you have or could quickly acquire Canadian citizenship.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King
If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? Scott Adams
