[…] the department said in its letter that it has decided to cancel her citizenship because Townsend's mother didn't take her oath before Townsend was born.

What triggers are in place for the government to review ancestral citizenship history?

The article doesn't say, but I'd bet this woman applied for something (a passport? Government benefits?) that only citizens are eligible for, and that triggered a routine check, which then triggered a deeper check because she was born outside Canada, which led to the discovery that something was a bit odd. Your tax dollars at work.
