Homecoming For These Terrorists


The RCMP and CSIS estimate as many as 100 Canadians are in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East fighting for or otherwise supporting terrorist groups.

What happens when these terrorists want to come back to the country where they were born?

In this country, the Harper government — with, it should be noted, the support of the Liberals — passed a new law in 2013 aimed at dealing with the kind of bad guys in the Foley video. The Combating Terrorism Act made it illegal to go overseas to commit acts of terrorism, and even made it illegal to plan to do so.That means the homecoming for these terrorists will be keys to a jail cell.

Harper's Conservatives are willing to take the gamble that the courts wll uphold their view. And in the meantime, it will at least delay the return of some of these Canadian jihadis
