ALGIERS - Two Canadians were among the extremists who attacked an Algerian gas plant and one of them played a key role in the hostage-taking that left scores dead, that country's Prime Minister said Monday.

Abdelmalek Sellal told reporters that a man believed to have been Canadian was among the 32 Islamists who seized a gas plant in the north African country.

Were they Canadians or Canadian immigrants? I too think Canada needs to tighten their immigration policy. But the biggest problem with Canada is that they are to busy being politically correct and worried they might offend someone.

As a Canadian, I've always felt that Canada's immigration laws were far too soft and far too inclusive. Just as the UK has angry mullahs who enjoy the freedon afforded them by British democracy to lash out at the very people providing that freedon, so too has Canada it's fair share of undesirables who should never have been allowed into the country.
