OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – Canada’s immigration officials admitted that “comprehensive security screenings” were never done for suspected Egyptian terrorists, including those linked to ISIS torturing who were let into Canada and arrested after plotting a huge attack in Toronto.

As per Blacklock’s Reporter, former Trudeau-era Immigration Minister Marc Miller defended the way the case was handled despite the obvious concerns surrounding the individuals arrested.

An August 28 briefing note from last year titled “Security Screening Note – Alleged Terrorist Immigration To Canada,” stated that the immigration application for the men let into Canada “was not referred to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service or Canada Border Services Agency for comprehensive security screening.”

“Work permits linked to asylum claims are not typically assessed for admissibility,” it read.

The men arrested last July 28 were Egyptian national Ahmed Eldidi, 63, and his 27-year-old son, Mostafa, of Scarborough, Ontario. They were plotting a “serious, violent attack” in Toronto.

The pair, who are in jail, will face trial in 2026 on charges of terrorism as well as conspiracy to murder, “possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose” and aggravated assault.

According to records, in 2018, Eldidi Sr. received a work permit without “comprehensive security screening” only seven months after coming to Canada via Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.

More shockingly, the man was given Canadian citizenship in May 2024. It was a month later when Canadian security agents learned that Eldidi Sr. had appeared in a 2015 ISIS torture video.

When it comes to Eldidi Jr., in 2019, he was refused a foreign student permit, being labeled a “potential non-genuine student.”

Nonetheless, he was let into Canada in 2020 after coming in via a land border from New York state. He claimed refugee status and was granted full status in 2022.

Last September 19, 2024, Miller, in testimony before the House of Commons public safety committee, defended how his department handled the case, claiming, “We are confident in our security screening.”

Under the former Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada let in a record number of immigrants, many from Muslim nations.

New Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite being a practicing yet pro-abortion Catholic, recently sparked controversy after suggesting that “Muslim values” are “Canadian values,” with many pointing out that Canada is a nation founded by Christians, not Islam.

Miller was fired by Carney on May 13. He now acts as the chair of the House of Commons justice committee.

Conservatives demand answers on how suspected terrorists were let into Canada

When news got out of how the suspected terrorists were allowed into Canada with seemingly no vetting, the Conservative Party spoke out.

Conservative MP Raquel Dancho said the arrests of the father/son duo show how flawed Canada’s immigration system is.

“We have yet to find out how this has happened and to my knowledge you have made no commitment of how you are going to fix it and prevent it from happening again,” she said directly to Miller.

“What specific steps have you taken in the past few weeks to ensure no more alleged terrorists gain entry to Canada?” she asked.

In response, Miller said, “There are a number of elements about this case I cannot discuss publicly.”

Conservative MP Larry Brock raised alarm bells at an August 28, 2024, public safety committee hearing by asking, “What other terrorists are walking the streets here in Canada right now waiting to commit terrorist acts against innocent Canadian citizens?”

“What the hell is going on?” he said loudly.

Canada is historically a nation founded on Christian ideals and principles. European settlers who came to Canada from France and then later from what is the modern-day United Kingdom were Christian and included missionaries who tried to spread Christian beliefs to the local Indigenous populations.

Canada has observed Christmas since 1641, well before its official founding, according to historical records.
