If she couldn’t represent Canada and Canada’s interests without conflict of interests, she shouldn’t have been an MP in the first place, nor should she have been given any authority over the Country’s policies/direction.
Nothing inherently wrong with continuing to be involved with / supporting the interests of your former/ancestral home (to some extent) as a regular citizen. But when you take an oath of office to represent a nation, you shouldn’t have loyalties to other nations that undermine that oath. I don’t think this is a very complicated take on the situation, nor one that warrants further explanation.

There seems to be something wrong about it to you. You spend the rest of your paragraph countering what you said.
Not sure you’ve read it properly then. “As a regular citizen” is a qualifier in that statement, with the point being that once you take an oath of office there’s a different set of standards that apply. Once you take on a position of authority and power as an elected representative, you have an obligation to put the interests of your elected constituents before the interests of your ties to your foreign ancestral home.
But she isn’t a regular citizen. She’s both an immigrant and an elected leader. She is leading where she is needed. Stop whining she isn’t giving you all her attention. She isn’t a baby sitter and you’re a big boy. We all trust you can manage by yourself even if you don’t.
“ignore your family and homeland to hang out with your new friends instead” doesn’t seem to work like you want it to

Holding public officials to a higher standard is not in fashion these days I suppose.
