Canadian ministers to testify about immigration history of Muslim father and son accused of Toronto jihad plot

Justin Trudeau threw out a welcome mat to Islamic State jihadists, and he invited the world to enter Canada after Donald Trump put a ban on Muslim (and non-Muslim) countries of concern — a ban that actually began with Obama.

To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada

Then the “Conservative” Mayor of Toronto John Tory, “echoed” Trudeau, saying: “We understand that as Canadians we are almost all immigrants, and that no one should be excluded on the basis of their ethnicity or nationality.”

What Tory failed to realize was the big distinction between responsible and reckless immigration policy.

Canada has at least 600,000 undocumented migrants, thanks to Trudeau’s policies.

In the face of the Conservative opposition, the Liberals are now left with no recourse but to cooperate and posture for the public.

“Ministers need to testify about screening of men accused of foiled Toronto terror plot, MPs agree,” by Rachel Aiello, CTV News, August 13, 2024:

MPs agreed Tuesday that ministers need to testify publicly “as soon as possible” about the immigration and security screening of a father and son recently charged in connection to an alleged foiled Toronto terror plot.

At an emergency meeting of the House of Commons Public Safety and National Security Committee, members of Parliament from all major parties unanimously voted to call Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, Immigration Minister Marc Miller and relevant federal officials answer questions about the case.

While the hearing got off to a tense start, it wrapped in relative short order with little acrimony, seeing the opposition come on-side with a Liberal motion, after making some tweaks.
The committee has agreed senior officials will start appearing later this month, as part of a series of six hearings into the case……
