You are listening to the Western Standard Podcast, and this episode features an opinion column by Nigel Hannaford Published on 7th August 2024.
Hannaford says, 'Obviously, immigration screening is completely fouled up. Man accused of ISIS membership became citizen and is now charged with planning terror attack in Canada. How can that happen?'

Canadians have “a general problem across the board in taking national security seriously,” says Alexander Dalziel, guest on this ‘Hannaford’ episode.
Dalziel, a senior fellow and National Security Project Lead at the Ottawa-based Macdonald-Laurier Institute comments on the outrageous admission to Canada of a man believed to be an ISIS member and his subsequent acquisition of Canadian citizenship. The scandal came to light when Moustafa Eldidi and his son were arrested in Toronto by the RCMP, and charged with terrorism offences under the Canadian Criminal Code.

The same goes for a possible Harris presidency. "There are constraints upon what Trump would be able to do, and those same constraints would apply to a Democrat president."
