Our Canadian govt is so smart .... first it brings in Somalis in their tens of thousands and ....

In testimony on Monday, the officer even recalled the two men took the batteries out of their cellphones while walking en route to a Raptors game, before confiding to each other that they each wanted to go to Somalia to join an Islamist insurgency group known as al-Shabab......
