Jihadi Jack: ISIS terrorist stripped of UK passport as Justi

The first law works kind of but the problem with that is, since we've accepted other ISIS fighters back into Canada with no ramifications for them, a precedence has been set which the courts would have to take into consideration and would likely apply to Jihadi Jack making him pretty much bullet proof.
So what are we going to do with Jihadi Jack? Bring him back to Canada, monitor him and "reintergrate" him. That's not much of a punishment for someone who broke Canadian law by fighting against our allies. I'm also pretty sure that because he's white if the Gov't didn't turn him loose on Canada there'd be the usual cry's of racism and demands he be treated the same as our home grown Islamic fighters.
As for the second law. It's been pointed out by our current Gov't he left to join ISIS from the UK not Canada which once again makes him bullet proof according to our law.
I'm sorry but every way you look at this case we're screwed. We're going to eventually have to bring him into Canada and let him walk because we failed to do the right thing right from the start and revoke his citizenship of convenience. And as odd as one of Bart's previous comments sounds the optics certainly make it look like the Gov't dragged their feet on this case for a reason.

So, if we've already brought scores of them home, why do we care so much about this one?

And he will be punished, even if not in court. As per procedure, everything they do will be monitored and scrutinized by a well trained group of trained professionals for the rest of their lives.

We are looking at this the wrong way. Jack (now) has the right to come to Canada. But he doesn't have the right for us to fish him out of Kurdish prison and for us to hand him a passport.
So all Jack has to do is, get out of Prison, get someone (who's not the Canadian tax-payer) to buy him a plane ticket to a nation that doesn't need passports, go to the Canadian Consulate/Embassy, stand in line to apply for a passport, wait for said passport to be reissued, get another person to buy him another plane ticket, this time to Canada, land in Canada, and then be arrested for "enlisting with a foreign state at war with a friendly state" on the tarmac and listen to the cheers of the other passengers as he's lead from the plane in handcuffs to the waiting police car.

$1:
Try him in Iraq. Send the Iraqi government a box of bullets to try, when he's sentenced to die.
Then Canada will be accused of being part of some sort of illegal arms supplying.

what ?
The government will send a private plane for him, he's not going through
any of that standard bullshit for real citizen nonsense.

I'm not so sure. Public opinion is pretty against this and we're mere weeks from Election, so, Jack will have to wait at least until November, then.

EXCLUSIVE: Outrage as Jihadi Jack's mother demands sympathy for her ISIS fanatic son, insisting HE is the victim
Jack Letts, 24, fled his middle class life in Oxfordshire to fight in Syria in 2014
He's been begging to return after being captured and jailed by Kurdish forces
One of Sajid Javid's last acts as Home Secretary was to deprive Letts of passport
His mother, Sally Lane, 57, told MailOnline he was 'victim of a witch hunt'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -hunt.html
Mrs Lane and Mr Letts are planning to travel to the country to continue their campaign, the mother-of-two told MailOnline, adding that her husband had been giving 'a lot of interviews to Canadian journalists' to highlight Jack's plight.

More like he's a victim of a "terrorist hunt".

Witches are mean and nasty when they hunt.
