Trudeau Government Denies Secret Plan to Bring Jihadi Jack to Canada

According to a British politician, Canada had a secret plan to whisk ISIS suspect Jack Letts out of Syria until the Brits and Americans torpedoed the idea.

The suspected ISIS member known as ‘Jihadi Jack’ was days away from being welcomed into Canada when the U.S. and U.K. torpedoed the move, a British politician claims.

Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle told Channel 4 that Jack Letts — whose father is Canadian — was to be smuggled out of Syria and brought here (Canada).

However, the federal government strongly denies the allegation.

“While we do not comment on national security operational matters, we can confirm that the claim made in the Daily Mail is categorically false,” Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale’s office said Friday in a statement to the Toronto Sun.

Sounds a lot like PM Trudeau a couple weeks ago when he said, "The allegations made in the Globe (and Mail) this morning are false." This week, his own attorney-general stated otherwise. Truth doesn't seem to be very important to this Very Liberal Government. 'The end justifies the means' is their motto.

Letts, 23, left his Oxford home to join the Islamic State in 2014. He eventually married an Iraqi woman and the couple had a child.

According to Channel 4, the Canadian government allegedly vowed to “do everything” to get the troubled young man out of harm’s way. The plan involved smuggling Letts into Turkey and then Canada.

But the British Foreign Office allegedly torpedoed the Canadian gambit.

“My understanding is that hesitant agreement had been reached with them and the Canadians,” Russell-Moyle told Channel 4.

“The words that they used to me — and this was last year now — is that it is a matter of days or weeks in which Jack will be sent to Canada. And then it fell apart at the last minute due to the intervention of another party.”

The British politician blamed “either the British government or the Americans.”

Channel 4 reported that Justin Trudeau’s government wanted to bring Jack Letts to Canada because he was eligible for dual citizenship.

Late last year, diplomats in Ottawa reportedly wrote the ISIS suspect’s devastated parents to say they could not guarantee their son’s release.

John Letts has said that his son realizes he made a stupid mistake and now desperately wants out.

He told ITV last week from the Kurdish jail where he is being held: “I miss my mum. I feel British, I am British. If the UK accepted me I would go back to the UK, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

In recent days, the British government has signalled it has no intention of repatriating terrorists and their brides who traipsed off to join ISIS.

It appears Belgium has just announced the same policy. Not Canada, we want the world's lunatics, as long as they aren't Christians. Liberals hate Christians. In that respect they have much in common with Islam.

While Letts remains a British citizen, notorious ISIS bride Shamima Begum has been stripped of her citizenship.

I'm sure she would be welcome in Canada. Trudeau might even meet her at the airport.
