\u0027A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian,\u0027 Justice Trudeau once said. Last week, a court took that statement to its logical conclusion.

It probably isn’t the last time the federal government will attempt a deft sideways move in the matter of the captured Canadian psychopaths whose care and feeding was conveniently offloaded onto the Kurdish resistance fighters who led the bloody drawn-out battle in 2019 that crushed the last key redoubt of the terror warlord Abu Bakr al Baghdadi’s al-Qaida offshoot, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria .

In other words, the law is the law, the prime minister isn’t above it, and Canada can’t just wish away the constitutional rights of the Canadians trapped in Kurdish-held Syria since the siege of Baghuz Fawqani. The federal government says it’s reviewing the court decision.Article content But that hasn’t helped the Canadians among the “ISIL families” in Syria, even though none has been lawfully convicted of any terrorism offences, and even though most of them are kids. Avoiding the embarrassment of having to live up to its high-minded citizenship principle has been the Trudeau government’s entire strategy in these cases., whose parents and siblings had been killed during the siege of Baghuz Fawqani.

Among the four men is “Jihadi Jack” Letts, a dual British-Canadian whose parents say is an “idealistic” and “compassionate” Muslim convert and sufferer of obsessive-compulsive disorder who despises ISIL.

Canada yet to decide on repatriating Canadian men from Syria: PMPrime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government has yet to decide if it will appeal or accept a federal court order to repatriate Canadian men who have been jailed in northeastern Syria. You leave Canada to fight for an extremist in an other country then that's your new home. Enjoy! it's called personal responsibility, something society has completely forgotten in favour of nanny state 'absolute safety' mentality where the gov must save us from ourselves. If you went to Syria within the last 15 years, you knew what you were getting into. We owe you nothing! Nope. Bad news.
