OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came under pressure on Monday from the opposition Conservatives who warned against giving any assistance to Jack Letts - a dual citizen dubbed “Jihadi Jack” by the media - after Britain’s decision to strip him of his British citizenship.
Trudeau’s Liberals repealed a law that allowed for the citizenship of those convicted of terrorism offences to be revoked. The policy shift, and Trudeau’s famous “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian” mantra, has prompted accusations from some opponents that he is soft on national security. “If the Trudeau government is contemplating helping Jihadi Jack come to Canada, we urge him to stop those attempts now,” Conservative lawmaker Pierre Poilievre said on Global News TV on Sunday. “It is not the job of the Canadian government or the Canadian taxpayer to now come to his rescue after he’s been caught.”
Even if Canada could get people out of Syria, they “would most likely be detained by authorities and face serious charges in neighboring countries,” a government source said.“It is a crime to travel internationally with a goal of supporting terrorism or engaging in terrorism and that is a crime that we will continue to make all attempts to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law,” he said. “That is the message we have for Canadians and for anyone involved.
