TORONTO — The government used its new power to revoke the citizenship of convicted terrorists for the first time on Friday against the imprisoned ringleader of the 2006 al-Qaida-inspired plot to detonate truck bombs in downtown Toronto.
Zakaria Amara was notified in a letter sent to the Quebec penitentiary where is he serving a life sentence that he is no longer a Canadian. He still holds citizenship in Jordan and could be deported there following his release from prison.
“He’s Toronto 18,” a source said, using the name by which Amara’s terrorist group was known. “They plotted terrorist attacks against downtown Toronto, they were convicted. They should not be citizens.” The decision was made by a senior official at Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
Legislation that came into force in May, over the opposition of the NDP and Liberals, allows the government to revoke the citizenship of Canadians who have been convicted of terrorism offences — provided they hold citizenship in a second country.
The law also applies to dual citizens convicted of treason and spying for foreign governments, as well as members of armed groups at war against Canada. A little more than half-a-dozen Canadians have been notified so far that the government was considering revoking their citizenship.

I LIKE this
FYI - The NDP and Liberals are left wing SCUM.
Wait till these new Syrian refugees get settled in! They will take up the slack in bombings and killings.
HOORAY FOR OUR SIDE. STRIP THAT CANADIAN PASSPORT FROM HIM AND DEPORT THE MUSLIM SCUM BACK TO THAT HELLHOLE HE CRAWLED OUT OF.
Just behead him.
I figured that ... my comment is about the action Canada took
Canada doing the job America won’t.
It all boils down to rights vs privilege again. He does not have the right to be a citizen. The time he spends in a Canadian prison are going to be the best years of the rest of his life.
Canada Ping!
