Conservative leaders in Canada are demanding transparency from the government regarding how an alleged ISIS member, originally a Pakistani citizen, was able to enter and live freely in Canada. The individual, who reportedly became a Canadian citizen under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's administration, was later apprehended in Toronto in connection with a terror plot. Critics argue that this case exemplifies a failure in the immigration and security policies of the current government, putting both Canadians and international allies at risk. The suspect, described as a torturer, is believed to have been radicalized by ISIS. Calls for accountability and detailed disclosure from officials, including Marc Miller and Justin Trudeau, are growing louder.
