Canada has provided limited consular services to Canadians detained in Syria, including accused ISIS fighter "Jihadi Jack" Letts, CTV News has learned.
CTV News has confirmed that the Canadian government did in fact provide very limited consular services to Letts and other Canadians detained in Syria. A Canadian government source would not specify to CTV News whether these services were delivered by another government or a third party, such as the Red Cross.
Consular services can cover a gamut of assistance to travelling Canadians, for instance during a medical emergency or when legal issues arise. Officials can provide services for everything from providing a list of local lawyers to ensuring Canadians are treated fairly under a country’s laws if they are arrested or detained.
"I hope Canada does take me from here. I could go there, to prison of course. If I’m really a Canadian citizen, why haven’t they taken me by now?" Letts said in an interview with ITV News. Meanwhile, Letts was contrite about in a recent interview. In a Sky News exclusive broadcast from Northern Syria on Tuesday, Letts said he "had a lot of ignorance" when he decided to go to Syria because he "didn’t know his religion properly."
Fuck'm Give him a 1 way ticket to the sun.
'The Canadian efforts to get Letts out of Syria were a stark contrast to UK government policy on repatriating Isis suspects and their families.' There was discussion of revoking his citizenship last year. This should have been no surprise to PMO.
You mean Scheer lied when he stated that Trudeau invited this English dude to come to Canada?

Wtf Trudeau must go!!!
This man is a human being, potentially with mental health issues. His family is heartbroken over this. At least show some dignity in reporting.
In other words the Trudeau 'Liberals' lied to Canadians yet again Be interesting to see if they get called out this time or if Canadian MSM will continue to pretend they have retained their journalistic integrity after accepting bribes to look the other way
Leave him in Syria with his ungodly friends.
Let him rot in hell.
Where are al of the liberal_party whiners hollering that Scheer had made this all up?
A terrorist is a terrorist why bother
Just a day after the Canadian Government said they would offer NO consular services to Jihadi Jack. Next thing you know this terrorist will be back on Canadian soil.
JustinTrudeau is a traitor. Its sickening.
Sounds like the media campaign to get Jihad Jack into Canada with compensation has just started. We need to slam the door shut against terrorists and their supporters. Immigration and refugee legislation reform is desperately needed.
He's a brit, we should have nothing to do with him.
If Trudeau lets this terrorist in, he should lose the election.
NO Not now not ever!! He is not a Canadian. His father is! He leaves Britain to fight, let him stay
How about 'none' as an acceptable level?
Good.
