Canadian Senate passes bill that removes the right to revoke citizenship from terrorists

Canada wants to keep its jihad mass murderers. And so it will. That also means, of course, that they will be streaming across the border to murder Americans as well. We need walls on both borders.

“Senate passes bill that removes the right to revoke citizenship from terrorists,” by Doris Strub Epstein, CIJ News, May 6, 2017:

The Senate passed Bill C-6 on Wednesday (May 3, 2017) after debating for almost a year on changes affecting citizenship, children’s rights and language requirements.

Bill C-6 which proposes changes to the Citizenship Act, removes the right to revoke citizenship from dual nationals who are convicted terrorists; ends the obligation for new citizens 14 -18 and 55 -65 to know either English or French; reduces the number of days someone must spend in Canada before they are eligible for citizenship; minors can apply for citizenship independent of their parents.

For many Canadians the most troubling change is the non revoking of Canadian citizenship even if the individual is convicted of terrorism. If passed in the House of Commons, it would automatically reinstate citizenship for dual nationals such as Zakaria Amara, a member of the Toronto 18 who intended to bomb downtown Toronto. Under the Conservatives’ Bill C-24, he had his citizenship revoked last fall. Responding to criticism from the Conservatives about Bill C-6, Prime Minister Trudeau and cabinet ministers repeated “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian”.

Conservative Senator David Lang (represents the Yukon) is Chair of the National Security and Defence committee in the Senate. He is fiercely opposed to the changes and believes it ” weakens Canadian citizenship on several fronts.”

But he is most concerned that “If an individual is convicted for terrorism, they will be able to keep their Canadian passport and all the benefits that go with it. It is ironic that the government supports the view that if you lied to get into Canada, you can lose your citizenship, but if you are a dual national Canadian who is convicted for a serious terrorism offence, you cannot have our citizenship revoked.”

According to Senator Lang, terrorism is a real threat to our country. Of the 218 terrorist suspects under investigation by CSIS today, roughly 60 are either dual nationals or permanent residents.

Approximately 180 people with a connection to Canada are engaged in terrorist activity abroad and an additional 60 have returned and are freely walking the streets. He claims 86 percent of Canadians support revocation of citizenship for terrorism.

The former Conservative government’s citizenship legislation revoked citizenship from dual Canadian citizens convicted of terrorism, treason or espionage.

The Senate vote to pass Bill C-6 was supported by 45 senators, 20 against, with no one abstaining.

The Bill now goes to the House of Commons for further examination, and MP’s can accept, reject or modify it….

Apparently you can’t make this stuff up. Canada is going headlong in the same direction as Western Europe.

Righteous Canadians need to oppose this legislation in theory and practice – and make their voices heard, as did Senator David Lange from the Yukon. Posted: “But he is most concerned that “If an individual is convicted for terrorism, they will be able to keep their Canadian passport and all the benefits that go with it. It is ironic that the government supports the view that if you lied to get into Canada, you can lose your citizenship, but if you are a dual national Canadian who is convicted for a serious terrorism offence, you cannot have our citizenship revoked.””

Very bad for Canada.

It’s even worse for America. While working for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Heidi Cruz wrote the North America Union treaty (NAU), Ted Cruz supports it and obama promised to sign it. The Union is the US with Canada and Mexico and if you read it, you will see that it requires a new constitution. Under this treaty, America would be bound by this Canadian bill.

I really don’t seriously believe that Trump will just placidly go along with this if he finds it unpalatable, but he might if he allows his dismally ignorant of Islam National Security Advisor General McMaster, to influence him. On tv this afternoon we heard the dopey McMaster say that ISIS and these other Islamic terrorist groups simply “pervert” Islam, so he continues to spout this utter rubbish about Islam.

I agree with you. I don’t watch TV but have seen videos of McMaster’s psychobabble. If President Trump reads the NAU document, there’s no way he’d let it stand. And maybe, he wouldn’t be so trusting of cruz, who’s been ingratiating himself onto Trump’s coattails.

Saw the same thing. This is one thing that really turned me off about Cruz in the presidential campaign. CFR is bad news – and anyone associated with it is against the sovereignty of the United States.

BTW -” America’s Pastor”, Rick Warren, is also CFR.

Yes, I read this about Rick Warren, but he wasn’t on the list that I have. I assume you too have a list of CFR members. We’re on the same page, I’m concerned about the several independent blogs that still support cruz, despite the plethora of documented evidence against him. I’m also concerned with President Trump’s picking Ben Carson, who is also not at all what he appears to be. Nevertheless, i’m also in awe at how much President Trump has managed to accomplish in such a short time.

You may want to Google “Rick Warren” and “Council on Foreign Relations” and it should give some quality leads.

Nothing anymore surprises me about Canadian stupidity! The sickness now extents from federal, provincial to municipal level, just consider the ignorant imbeciles running Brampton and Mississauga who pander to Islam. For pure ‘genius’ they have few equals. When a society his kicked out God and accompanying values and moral compass, this is what it gets. Anything goes! The Conservative Party is so weakly led that, other than Senator David Lange, we can bet that barely a squeak will be heard from it. The gutless, politically correct media will remain silent. Imagine men going off to fight for ISIS, murdering and, we can bet, raping Yazidi and Christian sex slaves, yet they are welcome to return to Canada – with minds forever contaminated by their experiences. But never to worry, what can go wrong? For such stupidity and dereliction of duty from the knuckle-headed Prime MInister and his remarkably stupid cabinet, the chickens are going to come home to roost. But don’t forget the fools who elected them!

Deport our terrorists to Canada. The Canadians need not fear: even if the terrorists push them off the top of their igloos, it is very hard to injure yourself when you land in a snowdrift. And the terrorists have yet to master the art of stoning you to death with snowballs. Finally, if the terrorists try to run you over with a snow plow, it is easy to get out of the way, just climb up the snowbank and hide on the other side 🙂

If “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian”, then stop awarding dual citizenship. That is the simplest solution, but then again, that is the very reason that proposal would never fly. It makes too much sense. Otherwise you find yourself up against a legal brick wall. Example:

In the US during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, the FDR administration tired to discourage US citizens from participating, for either side, by dusting off and invoking the Act of March 2,1907 which stated that any citizen taking up arms for a foreign sovereign would have their US citizenship revoked. The Supreme Court ruled it violated the Eighth Amendment stricture against cruel and unusual punishment.

Is Canada a free country or what? Why are it’s citizens allowing this to happen? Canada’s politicians should be held accountable for their actions. I’m not familiar with Canadian law but if it’s possible, the politicianS who voted in favor of this traitorous law should have their names made public concerning this issue. Then the people who are supposedly represented by these traitors should have them impeached.
