The traditional global reputation of Britain can be summed up in the epithet “perfidious Albion.” Anglo-Canadians have natural trouble comprehending these words and the version of history we are taught in school is not chosen so as to shed much light on them. Maybe they come to mind when you read about Nelson at Copenhagen or when you notice the offstage slaughter of POWs in Henry V. And then sometimes the British of today pop their heads up and give you a little reminder.
Letts is a confused young man who was born, raised, and converted to Islam in Oxford. He has never lived in Canada. He went to Syria through Kuwait in 2014, a circumstance that is obviously suspicious in itself, and somehow ended up in the custody of the Kurdish militia. His desperate father had been denying for some years that Letts was a recruit to ISIL, the “Islamic State.
The Kurds would like to get rid of Letts, but Canada has now learned that the British Home Office, which had not been keen to repatriate him to his actual patria, has terminated Letts’ British citizenship. This is possible because of post-9/11 developments in the law of British nationality, a notorious maze of categories and weird logic that has evolved so as to tax the strength of all but the strongest inquirers.
Britain has since tested this principle to its very limit by allowing the withdrawal of citizenship even when the person’s other country disavows and refuses to accept him. But the U.K. still observes the obligation on paper. Canada doesn’t have any analogous method of cutting off its inconvenient dual nationals and dumping them on other countries after allowing them to absorb a brainload of demented radical ideas on its own soil.
I don’t care what the law says he should lose his Canadian citizenship too and have to live in international water or something
For all the folks suggesting strip him of citizenship, leave him to rot. Where is the line? Do you really want any government to control who and when they bring some citizen home. This is one guy we can try. Slippery slope... lets think it through cdnpoli
Britain has a leader. Canada has
Harper had the laws in place to deal with this and Trudeau killed it now Canadians have to fall out of Trudeau’s Arrogance
