I don’t know. The Canucks are pretty loose on their own immigration standards and will even let in somebody with a “Death to America Jihad” t-shirt. Whether they can easily get Canadian citizenship or not or whether the people in question have citizenship or not, I don’t know, but note the last name. Even so, my BS meter is twitching too.
The author of the piece brings up the Canadian angle...and then just drops it. I notice a comment posted at the end of the article that addresses this...but no one has responded to it.
