TORONTO - A Canadian journalist who was released from prison in Egypt last month has returned home, marking the end of his nearly two-year ordeal in a case that raised questions about Egypt's commitment to free speech.
Mohamed Fahmy, a former Al-Jazeera journalist detained on terror-related charges, arrived in Toronto on Sunday.
"This is what I've been waiting for," Fahmy said Monday.

Mohamed Fahmy, released from Egyptian prison last month, now back in Canada - Brandon Sun
but anyway...some MF luv:
Norman Spector @nspector4
Basically the Harper gov’t did exactly what was needed and Mohamed Fahmy hasn’t a clue
Fahmy seems to criticize Baird for being too vocal about Canada's efforts and Harper for not being vocal enough
Fahmy knows why it was done quietly. Another ungrateful lefty
This jerk is an ingrate. A quiet thank you, then on to his B.C. journalism job would be fine. I'll pass on his upcoming book.
grateful...really. have a hard time seeing that. If PMSH grandstanded his actions MF might still be in prison
@nspector4 @ezralevant Will we see that info on @CBCNews @CTVNews @GlobalNational ? Doubt it, they tend to avoid anything positive about PM
