AS IN MOHAMED FAHMY.
Mohamed Fahmy recently entered Canada and spent yesterday bad-mouthing Stephen Harper and his Conservative Government for not acting more quickly to obtain his release from an Egyptian jail.
In my opinion, it would have been better if the dear man had thanked our Government for his release since I, for one, would have let him rot in that faraway jail.
The guy was foremost an Egyptian since he lived there most of his life and held Egyptian citizenship.
Second - his was charged and convicted by their Judicial system, and
Third – he was working for Al Jazeera, what many view as a mouth-piece for radicals terrorizing the middle east.
Some other relevant background:
- Fahmy came to Canada, from Egypt with his family in 1991; and, just prior to leaving Canada, to begin his journalistic career in the Middle East, he conveniently took out Canadian citizenship.
This smacks to me as ‘citizenship of convenience’.
Plus, I like many of you, do not believe in dual citizenship and I really have great difficulty when a person gets caught up in the legal system of their mother country and looks demandingly to Canada to bail them out.
Do you think for a moment that had Fahmy been sentenced and jailed here in Canada that Egypt would come to his defence?
And then to to it off, he has the gall to criticize his supposed adoptive country for not getting him out sooner.
This reminds me of Maher Arrar – the unfortunate chap who was returned to his mother country of Syria – by the Americans – and then allegedly tortured by the Syrians and then had the gall to sue Canada for allowing it all to happen.
In so doing, he pocketed a cool $10 Million Dollars++ from us Canadian Taxpayers.
No wonder there is such a back-lash against Muslim women insisting on wearing a mask at our Citizenship Ceremonies.
Canadians a sick and tired of all of this Political Correctness and I can tell you that under a Liberal or NDP Government Political Correctness will only get worse …much worse.
And yet it was also announced yesterday that Young Trudeau shared a beer with ingrate proving once again the old Aesop Moral that a man is indeed known by the company he keeps.
As I see it…
