“We had been in close communication with
Minister Coderre on this matter and were hopeful that the government would intervene in time to have him deported to his native Germany rather than here.

“Now that he’s here, he should be sent right back to Germany where he belongs.
One of the reasons he was denied Canadian
Citizenship before was a CSIS report judging him to be a security threat with close connections to radical right wing groups.

“What’s the point of a security check if we can’t prevent those deemed a threat from entering the country or just send them straight home?”
