#2 Canada can't strip him of citizenship for knowingly participating in a terrorist organization? Surely that shows a level of moral turpitude not commensurate maintaining Canadian citizenship.

#3 ringleader of a Montreal-based Algerian Jihadi cell, which intended to blow up Los Angeles International Airport in 1999

Seems like a good case for extradition.

#5 Canada can't strip him of citizenship for knowingly participating in a terrorist organization?

That sort of thing results in jail time only, if proven guilty in court first.

Revocation of citizenship requires that it be obtained under falsehood or some pretense.

It's morally and legally easier to justify revocation if it can be shown that something was falsely obtained, rather than have it be a penalty for some criminal act. Otherwise some nutcases would argue that jail time is enough punishment, debt paid to society, not applicable to all criminals, blah blah blah. Here, it's black and white: you lied, penalty is revocation, thanks for playing, goodbye. Oh and, in addition, here's some jail time.
