As of today, the provisions in the SCCA which came into force on May 28 (CIC web pages report this was May 29, but the Governor in Council Order was dated May 28 and it specified that these provisions came into force on the date of the Order), those adding new grounds for the revocation of citizenship and revising the procedure for revoking citizenship, are now reflected in the Citizenship Act as available at the Justice Laws website . . . finally, nearly four weeks after the Order.
However, those provisions which came into force as of June 11, 2015, per the June 4, 2015 Governor in Council's Order, are still not current at the Justice Laws website (the revisions can be viewed, still, as of today anyway, by following link to provisions not yet in force . . . even though, obviously, they have been in force for nearly two weeks now).
The national post article says "Should his Canadian citizenship be revoked, he would be deported."
So, instead of punishing this person for crimes against Canada and Canadians, we will simply deport this person to walk free and possibly join ISIS or whoever?
I really don't understand this.
I'm in favor of hard punishment for terrorist, maybe even in favor of "Guantanamo" style treatment for convicted in terrorism ...
But instead we just let him go? Really?
Canadian citizenship has in recent times (specially by Tory govt) downgraded to some club membership. Dont follow the club rules, your membership will be cancelled moreover further entry to the club will be denied.

His home country is Iran, I'm not at all sure what are they going to do with him. This is also a one example. His home country may as well be Iraq, Syria or any other country in which they may not see his offence in the same light. Moreover even if he is convicted, in his home country who is to guarantee their prison system is good enough to keep him inside for long
Why should Canadian taxpayer bear the cost to house/feed any of it's dangerous criminals (like murderers, mass murderers, rapists etc)?
We are not talking here about "reinstating capital punishment" nor about "torturing dangerous terrorist to obtain valuable information for protecting out citizenship" If this was the case I would understand. Instead we are doing ... What exactly are we trying to do here???
