Canada: Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen defends bill reinstating citizenship of convicted terroris

Any correlation between the teachings of islam, the immigration minister being muslim and him defending this insane bill is purely coincidental of course.

Appointing him as immigration minister was Trudeau's idea.

Immigration Minister defends reinstatement of Canadian citizenship to convicted terrorists

http://en.cijnews.com/?p=213630

During a testimony to the Senate social affairs committee, Minister of Immigration Ahmed Hussen defended Bill C-6 which will, among other things, remove the grounds for revocation of Canadian citizenship from dual nationals convicted for treason or terrorism offences.

The Bill, called “An Act to amend the Citizenship Act” and introduced by the Liberals in 2016, mostly reverses changes made under the previous Conservative government’s Bill C-24, which took effect in 2015.

Bill C-24 gave the federal government authority to revoke Canadian citizenship from dual citizens in cases of conviction for terrorism, treason, or engagement in an armed conflict against Canada, regardless of whether they were born in Canada or not.

In a lead-up to the last federal elections, the Liberal Party vowed to repeal the changes made by the Conservatives, arguing that Bill C-24 divides Canadians into two classes, in which dual nationals are at risk of losing their Canadian citizenship if they are convicted of serious crimes.

Bill C-6 will still allow for revocation of citizenship in cases of misrepresentation by immigrants while applying for permanent residence status in Canada, but convicted terrorists will be spared.

During the election campaign Trudeau used the expression a “Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian” to bash the Harper policy for what he called creating second-class citizens whose citizenship is constantly threatened.

Speaking at a Winnipeg town hall in July 2015, Trudeau said: “The Liberal Party believes that terrorists should get to keep their Canadian citizenship … because I do and I’m willing to take on anyone who disagrees with that”, and added: “As soon as you make citizenship for some Canadians conditional on good behaviour, you devalue citizenship for everyone.”

In 2015, the previous Conservative government stripped convicted terrorist Zakaria Amara of his Canadian citizenship. Amara was a ringleader of the so-called “Toronto 18” terrorist group which in 2006 conspired to carry out terror attacks in downtown Toronto, including detonating a bobby-trapped truck in the financial district with the intention of causing an indiscriminate mass killing of civilians. Under Bill C-24, Amara, a Jordanian national who immigrated to Canada, would have been deported to Jordan once he was released from prison after serving a life sentence.

At that time, former Minister of National Defence Jason Kenney expressed his full support of the measure taken against Amara. “I agree that convicted terrorists should be stripped of their Canadian citizenship. Anyone who commits terrorist acts in Canada or abroad has clearly renounced their Canadian citizenship by rejecting Canadian values and the loyalty to our country that citizenship requires,” Kenney said and called on Justin Trudeau “to stop defending the rights of convicted terrorists and to instead support the rights of law abiding Canadians.”

And when the Conservatives kick the the shit out of this party in the elections, it will be all Russia's fault.

Unfortunately I don't think Canadians have what it takes anymore to govern ourselves. Trudeau will legalize Marijuana just before the election and ride it out enough for a second term. The Conservatives will still be trying to cling onto the religious base in Alberta and fail to capture the younger generation again.

And Canada will die under Trudeau.

I can't wait for O'Leary to save us from this progressive bullshit.

indeed

I can't wait for O'Leary to save us from this progressive bullshit.

I hope he can. He's saying the right things and has substance behind it. He needs to change what it means to be a conservative. The religious shit isn't flying anymore and he has a real opportunity to capture the younger generation if he continues to speak about opportunity and standard of living. We need hope, we need to focus on real obtainable goals for all, not this social justice toxicity.

O'Leary will guarantee a Trudeau re-election. He still lives in Boston for crying out loud.

He won't get the Conservative nod. Dude can't speak French, isn't allowed to fund his own campaign, and he's already bowed out of a few debates. He's just fuckin' around.

Is this really a hot button topic that our government should be spending time on? Are there really a bunch of Canadians outraged that terrorists are no longer welcome here? The old law was just fine, thank you very much.

Wow funny that Trudeau managed to keep this election promise eh, and not other things like electoral reform. Here's my take as to what's really going on with this: in the 90s, the Liberals under Chretien introduced legislature that made it so anyone convicted of a non-violent crime as their first offense would be eligible for parole after serving 1/6 of their sentence as opposed to the previous 1/3. By the late 90s a bunch of Sicilain Mafiosi were convicted of drug trafficking, which for most of them was their first offense and of course it's considered a non-violent crime. So they all got soft prison sentences. As an example, Alfonso Caruana, the head of a huge international Mafia family and drug smuggling operation, got 18 years for masterminding a massive cocaine distribution network in Ontario and Quebec but was paroled after serving 3 years. Now, seeing as how a lot of these guys had a very cozy relationship with a high-ranking Liberal politician named Alfonso Gagliano, some more cynical observers thought it looked kind of like these criminals lobbied to ensure they wouldn't face too harsh punishment for their crimes. Imo the same thing is happening here, but it's being done by an entity even more dangerous than the Mafia. They're making an investment for the future and Jihad Justin and his buddies are only too happy to play along.

It's pretty demoralizing sometimes, to be perfectly honest. Now our tax dollars are gonna pay welfare for this pos when he gets out of prison. Why should they even make people swear an oath when they become citizens? It obviously is meaningless because there is literally nothing you can do to lose your citizenship, not even commit terror attacks against the country. The Liberal party at this point is more committed to advancing Islamist interests than that of Canadians. Treasonous imo.

It's one of those no-brainers that can't be spun positively. I don't know why the Libs are fighting so hard, and loudly for it.

I mean, in fairness I can see Trudy's logic behind it about devaluing Canadian citizenship, but you just can't spin "Fighting for Terrorist rights" positively. They're giving the Conservatives a nuclear bomb of ammunition with this shit.

Remember though, that didn't matter to liberals at all. The left doesn't see natural born citizens as any more Canadian than an immigrant. Michael Ignatieff spent most of his recent life outside of Canada, that didn't matter to his base at all.

I don't think that will hurt O'leary. Honestly, I think the female vote will be his biggest difficulty. He's a bald guy, they hate that, and he's campaigning against a shamefully dishonest gender panderer.

Iggy got curb-stomped in that election though. Fucker even lost his own riding. Regarding your other point about how Canadian "liberals" don't see actual Canadians as more Canadians than immigrants, you're right, but don't look for anything resembling consistency from these people. If O'Leary gets the nomination he will be crucified by our pathetic media as a racist, fascist, "literally Trump". The living outside of Canada thing will be used against him but it will be far down the list - just him being a businessman and tv personality will be enough to associate him with Trump and therefore fascism.

I agree with him if you have citizenship you have citizenship.

But that goes all the way if you are a Canadian citizen that joins a terrorist group that is at war with Canada that's treason and the death penalty.
In fact, they should keep their citizenship so if they ever get captured somewhere else you can file for extradition so you can execute them.

This seems fair.

You're still Canadian, just dead.
