“Canada is disappointed that the United Kingdom has taken this unilateral action to off-load their responsibilities. Terrorism knows no borders, so countries need to work together to keep each other safe.”
Yes, and what better way to keep each other safe than to insist that they must admit returning Islamic State jihadis? Imagine Ralph Goodale in 1943 issuing a “sternly worded statement” saying that Britain was making all countries less safe by refusing to readmit British Nazis who had gone to Germany. This is just as absurd.
“Canada ‘disappointed’ over Jihadi Jack’s British citizenship being revoked,” Canadian Press, August 18, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):
The United Kingdom is shirking its share of the international community’s duty to help keep the world safe from terrorism, the federal government suggested Sunday after the British Home Office revoked the citizenship of a dual citizen imprisoned in Syria.
Jack Letts, a British-Canadian man who has been behind bars in a Kurdish prison since 2017, has been stripped of his British citizenship, the office of Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale confirmed in a sternly worded statement.
“Canada is disappointed that the United Kingdom has taken this unilateral action to off-load their responsibilities,” the statement said. “Terrorism knows no borders, so countries need to work together to keep each other safe.”
Letts, who was dubbed “Jihadi Jack” by the British media, has been detained for about two years after he travelled to Syria in 2014 to support the Islamic State group.
A statement from the Home Office said revoking British citizenships is one way it counters terrorist threats. It said it does not comment on individual cases.
“Decisions on depriving a dual national of citizenship are based on substantial advice from officials, lawyers and the intelligence agencies and all available information,” the statement said.
Letts’ parents, John Letts and Sally Lane, were found guilty in June for funding terrorism when they tried to send him money. The couple, from Oxford, England, received suspended sentences of 12 months in prison….
Dude says
I heard him on TV describe ISIS as a mafia, as in he didn’t know he was joining the mafia. I am not sure his message to Canada isn’t something they really need to hear – and soon.
mortimer says
Canada’s Liberal Party is also a sort of Mafia called the Laurentian Elite. That’s where these Libtard fat cats have there summer estates north of Montreal.
Walter Sieruk says
The United Kingdom had done the right thing by revoking the citizenship of an ISIS/jihadist. For any decent and good government strives to protect and ensure the safety, lives and security of its citizens .
For the jihadists of ISIS have proven by their own actions, many times overs,that they are vicious ,violent and dangerous men.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
What business is it of Canada to be :disappointed” with the U.K. for stripping Jihadi Jack of British citizenship? The only disappointment is that he wasn’t treated like Lord Haw-Haw.
Fred says
So, what is the problem? Canaduh can take him in.

I agree. Why isn’t the UK helping? Don’t they have any Hellfire missiles or something similar to take care of this guy? I mean we can’t expect Trudeau to do anything, except give the guy a couple million dollars.
Angemon says
Pfffttt – as if this was that one jihadi Trudeau’s Canada would refuse to welcome with open arms…
James Lincoln says
I wouldn’t have a huge problem if the UK took back in the Islamic state jihadist – as long as he was put in lifetime solitary confinement in a prison similar to ADX Florence.
Crusades Were Right says
Lord Haw Haw got a raw deal, apparently.

To Canada – “I have every confidence in you!” Thank you.

Canada’s Public Safety Minister: “Canada is disappointed” that UK revoked citizenship of Islamic State jihadi
……………..
Goodale is a witless tool, and is doing nothing to keep Canadians safe.
mortimer says
Totally accurate. A yes man to end all yes men. His lips are raw.
StreetKillaz2019 says
If Canada allows that human waste of skin to set foot on it’s soil, you can be guaranteed that there will be terrorist attacks en mass on Canadian soil.
Harryagain says
Jihadi Jack can be tried in Syria where he committed his crimes.
I ‘spect they’ll want to stone him to death.
But he’s Muslim and that’ll be sharia law which he loves….right?
JoBo says
Canada, under Trudeau, has lost it. R.I.P.
UNCLE VLADDI says
We Canadians can’t throw these treasonous libertine “liberal” criminal hypocrites out fast enough!!!!
StreetKillaz2019 says
@UNCLE VLADDI
It’s even worse, when you know that Canadian citizen, counter terrorist specialist Tom Quiggin composed a multiple page dossier / documented statement.
Explaining that the muslim convert Canadian prime minister is, and has been funding Islamic Terrorism, and promoting Islamic Terrorism, which both breach multiple criminal codes within Canada.
Mr. Thomas Quiggin personally delivered the documentation to the RCMP, asked those cowards to investigate the prime minister, which they have knowingly, willingly not done.
And on top of that, there are five other members of the liberal government that are also funding Islamic Terrorism, and are being allowed to breach multiple criminal codes, with no threat of arrest, prosecution at all.
So the million dollar is, how do Canadians force the dead weight RCMP not only investigate the prime minister, but his five other members of their party, and arrest them, have them prosecuted?
Peter Dale says
Ah, people. Some moderation, please. We Canadians love diversity in everything; it’s our strength, as Tinkerbelle ( Trudeau) keeps telling us. He also says that we are the first post-nation; that we have no core values. And he and his toady Ralphie, are out to prove it. We, of course, will welcome this piece of human filth and, if he plays his cards right, he might even get a government grant to write about his experiences. This is not a fancy; we Canadians have done just that before. In 1970, the FLQ ( a violent group dedicated to the separation of Quebec) killed a former member of the provincial government of Quebec. The federal government came to a deal to let them get out of the country and go to Cuba. Years went by and they returned. No jail time at all. One of them indeed got a Canada Council grant to write about his experiences. We Canadians are all-forgiving to a fault. It’s the major part of our charm.

Canada’s public safety officer is an idiot and needs to be sent to Afghanistan. To live for the rest of his life. Along with his kids and wife, who should wear a bikini out in the streets.
Dawne Swift says
Jihadi Jack is not the UK’s responsibility. We can revoke citizenship where there’s dual citizenship. Canada knew this and you’d have thought they’d have revoked his Canadian citizenship first! I also think it’s wrong that his Canadian father who has been convicted of funding terrorism is allowed to remain in the UK and has not been deported back to his native Canada. Presumably though this would infringe his “human rights”? Sorry Canada, but I hope the whole sorry lot of that family choose to move to Canada to be with their lovely terrorist son. You have fewer Muslims than the UK by % popln, so I assume fewer problems with them that here? It would have been better if Jihadi Jack had been taken out by a drone strike.
R Russell says
Ha Ha! Canada is just annoyed they didn’t do it first and now they are stuck with him. Being true globalists, Canada wants to tell the UK what to do. Tough. We are wakening up.
