guyser Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 No goalposts moved at all.......but, clearly tracking these guys in such areas is more difficult.And when we do and get evidence of crimes we can bring them back and try them. That was the point, not how hard, not if we could accomplish it.....sheesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Do you know what kind of information the Internet has? Can you imagine someone with the intelligence to do some research building bombs with materials that every Canadian uses daily? Terrorist camps are great to solidify their hold over the individual, give them ideas, fund them and maybe help their field craft(how to avoid getting caught too early). Actually the Internet is the training camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Signals.Cpl Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 No way jose. If you are Canadian, you are Canadian and no amount of behaviour will or should strip you of that status. However, if you lied coming in, lied on an app, well then....the Govt can remove that status. I agree one hundred percent with this, if you lied coming in you get kicked out, but once Canadian always Canadian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Why because the current laws give the bad guys an advantage, there are to many loop holes that they take advantage of.... why are we just surv these 80 suspect terrorist, some of them we know have been to Sryia, or Iraq, we know they have been fighting for terrorist organizations , we just can not prove it without a shadow of doubt....they remain free to travel when they want...to comit any crimes they want...they know once in the war zone they are free to do what they want.....because nobody is watching.... The requirement to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is the cornerstone of our legal system. Weakening those protections would be the very worst thing we could do in reaction to this. we know they have been fighting for terrorist organizations , we just can not prove it without a shadow of doubt The standard is "reasonable doubt", not beyond a shadow of doubt. And you dont "KNOW" anything unless you have evidence of it. It sounds to me like all we KNOW is that some of these people went to places like Syria, Turkey, and Iraq and came back. No country worth protecting is going to lock people up for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
