True Dough did he really say that


Excerpts from "Trudeau rewards terrorist with citizenship." a column in today's paper(Mar 04, 2017) by Candice Malcolm.
1. Zakaria Amara is a convicted terrorist , serving a life sentence for his role in a plot to murder scores of Canadians . And now, thanks to a Trudeau government bill passed through the Senate this week, Amara will soon be given the privilege of Canadian citizenship.
2. In the case of Amara , this "Canadian" was born in Jordan and raised in Saudi Arabia.
3. He came to Canada as a and became a Canadian citizen as a young man.
4, .Amara was the ringleader of a sophisticated terrorist cell known as the Toronto 18. He recruited trained and groomed fellow Islamist extremists and worked towards a deadly terrorist plot.
5. He wanted to mass murder Canadians. And even more, he wanted to shatter our sense of safety and security.
6. Amara pleaded guilty to terrorism and was slapped with a life sentence
7. Under the Harper government , Amara had his citizenship revoked and was set to be deported the moment he was released from prison.
8.Trudeau said during the 2015 campaign that he believes "terrorists should get to keep their Canadian citizenship" and now he is keeping good on that pledge.
9. Trudeau's Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen told the Senate that the liberal Government had already initiated the process to restore citizenship to the convicted terrorist.
There is more to the story but I just wanted to confirm that I remember hearing Trudeau in his campaign speech state terrorists should keep their citizenship.
Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen is also a Muslim and there are another 10 Muslim MP's in Trudeau's government. Just saying. Watch for M103 to pass.

    Yes, Dinty, how very true! Trudeau stands by any Muslim, regardless of what he has done in Canada. My thoughts (& others) on this is that those kind should never have been allowed in Canada...and yes, he should have been deported, not returned his passport to him (omg how ridiculous)!!!!
He sure does.

Look at how he reacted to the killings at the Quebec City mosque.

That is a Quebec problem.

The feds should keep their noses out of it.

As much as I enjoy pulling Yank chains, I will get serious for a moment.

Trudeau has made the right move.

The only reason to renounce anyone's citizenship is if that person is naturalized, and lied significantly on his application for citizenship.

This has happened in cases of people who lied about their activities during WWII.

To start adding other reasons is a slippery slope.

Where do we stop?
Murder?
Hate crimes?
Opposition to government policies?

I'm even opposed to deporting non-citizens who came to Canada as young children and committed crimes.

This is pretty common.

If they grew up here, they are our problem.

The US does this as well, of course.

I totally disagree with that policy. The PM allows his Parliamentary Secretary (a radical Muslim) to do his thinking for him. I am NOT alone in my thinking; many Canadians have stated their views on this!!

IMHO, while Trudeau talks about inclusion, he has helped to cause the divide we now have in Canada. As reported in the news, prior to being elected, Trudeau delivered speeches in mosques across Canada, in which, he unfairly accused Harper of being anti-Muslim. Not surprisingly, Muslims were out in record numbers to vote for Trudeau at the last election. Trudeau now wants to pass M-103 to stop Islamophobia which inherently implies that Canadians are anti-Muslim. While Trudeau talks about inclusion, he employs the very antics that cause division.

    Amara was only given life which is 25yr but may be paroled in 10yr. He was eligible for parole in 2016 but was not paroled at that time, The scary part is Trudeau might give him and executive parole in the near future. Amara still has his Jordanian citizenship.

In our country, a conviction of a felony loses one certain rights, but I personally think if a person serves his/her time and "paid their debt to society" then they should have full rights of citizenship.............. EXCEPT in cases of treason or terrorism. That is a whole other matter.

Oh Dinty...... it sounds like your Canadian government is acting as crazy as ours has been. This is so sad for the Canadian people! I'm sorry to see it.
