The government said Canadians who joined ISIS would face the 'full force' of the law, but not a single woman who lived under ISIS has yet been convicted.

Dura Ahmed sounds like a lovely person:

"[I was studying] English and Middle Eastern studies. I didn’t know anything about ISIS or anything. [...] I didn’t really watch the news. No one liked to talk about it. I was really oblivious to what was going on. In the end I said fine, if I don’t like it, I’ll come back." [...]

So to Raqqa, ISIS’ de-facto capital, she came in 2014. What she saw, she liked. “It was an easy life. It was a city. It was stable,” she said. “You’re there and you’re eating Pringles and Twix bars." [...] "Well, having slaves is part of Sharia,” she finally ventured. “I believe in Sharia."

Did she regret coming to Syria, I asked, wondering if she felt disillusioned with the Islamic State [...] “No. I had my kids [t]here,” she replied.

Sounds like a fanatical woman ripe to be used for a terrorist plot.

Why is the federal government even allowing them to return to Canada?? Our liberal government and justice system is broken.

If they are still legally citizens, the country cannot refuse them entry to the country.

As Canadian citizens they have a Section 6 right to return to Canada. You know, the same Section 6 right that the fucking tantrumists thought was being taken away because no country would take them during the pandemic because they weren't vaccinated

Its a much worse situation when a government can strip you of citizenship. Not about to give that up for a couple shit birds

Calm yourself. It's not easy to deny someone entry to their birthplace, nor to remove citizenship when they have nothing else.

Stop watching Pierre and his endless drama and you'll be fine.

Go learn.
