A convicted ISIS terrorist living in Calgary has been granted permission to take to the ski hills with his girlfriend..Only one year ago, Carlos Larmond was considered too dangerous for full release from his halfway house..The Parole Board of Canada said Larmond had “developed a new relationship,” and was engaged to be married following several visits with his girlfriend, Global reported..“You have indicated a desire to spend more time with her on her next visit, and also to perhaps do some skiing in the mountains this winter,” according to a copy of the decision..“That would mean you would have to travel by bus, and therefore, spend overnight at the ski resort.”.Less than a year ago, Global reported the Parole Board ordered Larmond, 29, to live at a half-way house in Calgary on the grounds that he posed an “undue risk to society.”.He was refused overnight leave privileges then because of his “need for constant close monitoring.”.Part of an Ottawa extremist group, Larmond was arrested in Montreal in January 2015 as he was leaving for Syria to join ISIS with his twin brother, Ashton. He was jailed for seven years the following year. He was also convicted of threatening to kill a corrections officer while in pretrial custody. . POLL: Many Albertans say they will ignore Christmas COVID lockdown .“Early in your sentence, you were transferred to the Special Handling Unit (SHU) as it was alleged you were attempting to radicalize other offenders,” Global reported the Parole Board wrote in its Nov. 2019 decision..But it said there was “no indication in your file that this kind of terrorist behavior has continued,” and the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) supported his request for overnight privileges..“Mr. Larmond, all reports indicate you have been complying with your conditions of release, and have caused no problems at the CRF [community-based residential facility],” the Board wrote in its decision..The ruling didn’t specify which resort Larmond would be hitting the slopes at..The decision outraged Conservative leader Erin O’Toole..“At a time when businesses are being shuttered by COVID and (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau is urging provinces not to reopen, terrorists are being let out of jail to go to ski resorts,” said O’Toole..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com.TWITTER: Twitter.com/nobby7694
