We are dealing with individuals who have deep beliefs and who are rejecting western values, western ways of thinking, and western ways of living. They are ready to use violence and in some cases to return what they got from this society. Unfortunately, we have seen recently in some videos some of those examples of hatred.
We have to be steadfast in our message to anyone who is willing to undertake terrorist activities, that these individuals will face the full force of the law, whether here or abroad. In no way can we compromise with individuals who are willing to attack and kill innocent victims. There is nothing that can prevent us from doing everything in our capability to intervene. What will they face? They will face the full force of the law. They will go to jail. They will benefit from our correctional services rehabilitation system, whereby they can give second thoughts to their beliefs.
But one thing is certain.
We can't have wild cards like this in Canadian society, jumping back and forth between fanaticism and terrorism. We can't allow that because they represent mobile threats. As a society, we need to do what we can to protect citizens so that they can continue to live their lives. We need to ensure that these people are charged and that they are punished. At that point they will be able to work on rehabilitation.
