Global National: Aug 14, 2024 | Canada considers revoking citizenship of alleged ISIS terror suspect

In tonight's top story, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Canadians deserve answers about how Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi and his son Mostafa, who are both accused of plotting a terrorist attack in Toronto, got into Canada. As Mackenzie Gray reports, Miller also says he intends to find out if the father should have his Canadian citizenship revoked.

The RCMP has questioned David Pretlove, a federal Liberal party staffer who handled finances during the nomination of Han Dong, a Toronto MP was elected as a Liberal but stepped down from Caucus after Global News reported on allegations of foreign interference by China. Mercedes Stephenson explains what we know about the police involvement.

Ukraine is keeping up its assault on Russia by launching drone attacks on the Belgorod region and pushing deeper into Kursk, where more than 70 Russian towns and settlements are believed to be under Ukrainian control. Neetu Garcha reports on where Ukraine's bold new strategy is headed and what it's creating for civilians in that region.

For the second time in two years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, a public health emergency of international concern.

I would like to know how he was “considered” for citizenship in the first place

[Airuhhh]

We need a new Minister of Immigration, and so does a new Prime Minister!

[serges]

Canada has to stop immigration for 5-6 years and focus on economy, education, healthcare for canadians.

[BrendaBeaulieu-dvfu]

Considering!!!! Good Lord what is to consider

[ENTHUSIASTICFIFAFAN]

You shouldn't have given it to them in the first place.

[savannahthomas]

What a joke? Which crook is going to be honest on their application? HELLO. Wake up and smell the coffee.

[imopman]

Revoking citizenship should be standard for criminal activity.

[briandufoe]

Just considering whether he loses citizenship will not cut it with Canadians,
Lose his citizenship and deported after a lengthy prison sentence is the only option.

[uowytuf]

Also the rest of the family should be deported. How can any one of these family members be trusted.????

[Cloud-Dev-Ops-Security-AI-Talk]

Canada has to stop immigration for 5-6 years and focus on economy, education, healthcare for canadians. Because no job in canada now!!

[vjencfv]

"Considers"?? It's a no-brainer!

[CharmaineFlowers-ddfl]

Consider, they should be immediately after they trial. Canada is a sad country. The government just lets anyone in the country. It's just shameful.

[gigi]

He was not eligible for citizenship to being with- but they are only " considering" it now? The person who approved it should face criminal charges as their negligence rose to the level of criminality. In fact, Canada should freeze all immigration while it does an entire review of all cases that have been approved under Trudeau's watch. I'm guessing he is not the only bad apple to slip through; one wonders how this is possible and can only assume it is because the people approving these applications SUPPORT this kind of behavior.

[ronbattiston]

So why did we give these two people Canadian citizenship? Who goofed? And how many goofs did they make with other new Canadians?

[mittulpatel]

Just considers. Just same nonsense. By now he should have been already stripped from his citizenship and put in Justin's home as house arrest until his punishment is decided.

[zacharyscott]

lol the Liberal Party is going to strip him of citizenship, I thought “a Canadian is a Canadian, is a Canadian”. Those who are disloyal islamists should be stripped too.

[denisedube]

Total disgrace. Of course it should be revoked!!!@

[johnhess]

This govt is a disaster. Canada may never recover.

[J.C.S.]

What a Shame! They are considering? This became a scandal and only now they are considering 😮 this is a huge issue

[EyeSee.]

I wonder if jihad jack ever made it to Canada?
