ISIS Recruitment Video Features Dead Canadian "Revert"

Stewart Bell, the NatPo's terrorism expert, has the story:
TORONTO — The terrorist group that controls northern Syria and Iraq made a renewed push to recruit more Canadians on Friday, issuing a propaganda video featuring hockey, snowscapes and a posthumous statement by a dead Ontario jihadist. 
“Life in Canada was good,” André Poulin, a Muslim convert from Timmins, Ont., who left Canada to fight in Syria in 2012 and was killed last summer, said in the slick 11-minute Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham recruitment video. 
“I had money, I had good family. But at the end of the day, it’s still dar al-kufr [a land of disbelief] and at the end of the day you cannot obey Allah fully as you can by living in a Muslim country, in an Islamic state,” he said.
At the end of the day (a very brief one if you're a "revert" like this guy who swallowed the supremacist Kool-Aid) you'll die a horrific death in a pestilential Islamist backwater. But I guess that pitch isn't going to entice 'em.
