Mujahideen on the Runways and in the Terminal of Montréal-Trudeau Airport

Montréal-Trudeau Airport is named for the late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott “Papa Doc” Trudeau, whose son Baby Doc, a.k.a. “Justin”, now occupies the commanding heights of the government in Ottawa. Trudeau fils is importing Muslim immigrants into Canada as fast as they can be flown in, so it’s only fitting that his eponymous airport is riddled with mujahideen on the runways and in the baggage room.

Danger on the tarmac at Montréal-Trudeau airport
by Félix Séguin and Maxime Landry
March 28, 2017
Montréal-Trudeau Airport is confronted with employees who show signs of radicalization, including one who has just been relocated away from the runways because of the risks he presented. This is what our Bureau of Investigation and the show “J.E.”, presented tonight at 7:30pm on TVA, has discovered in recent months.
Four employees had their access to the secured area withdrawn as a precautionary measure. At least three of these individuals (two still working at the airport) display a profile that worries police.
Some have visited pro-Islamic State websites, broadcasted propaganda on social networks, and consulted an abnormal number of documents dealing with weapons or explosives.
Of the four security clearances that were withdrawn, one was withdrawn after an airport employee with access to the secure area suggested that he would perpetrate attacks similar to those in Paris on November 13 2015.
Two other cards were confiscated because workers had psychiatric problems that put the safety of airport operations at risk.
“Concerning”
Montréal police provide armed security at the airport. Six officers are on-site at all times, but only three are available to patrol the entire terminal, and they do not have long weapons. In frequent practice, two agents are mobile.
For Patrick Lalonde, the assistant director of the SPVM and one of the leaders of the fight against terrorism in Quebec, this information is “worrying”. “The SPVM and its partners work every day to evaluate the threat and to counter it,” he said.
Marcel Savard, formerly in charge of counter-terrorism at the Sûreté du Québec, was also worried about the situation. “What concerns me,” he said, “is the strategic position that these people occupy.”
“We have a concern for all types of threats; radicalization is one of them,” notes Pierre-Paul Pharand, vice-president of airport infrastructures at Aéroports de Montréal (ADM), in a report that will be presented tonight on the TVA airwaves.
This former soldier watches over the safety of the 16 million passengers who pass through the airport each year. He argues that his organization takes the situation seriously. “Whenever there are issues related to radicalization,” he says, “we act with our partners.”
