For severe crimes like terrorism or immigration fraud, we have legislation and courts for that in this country, if after trial it is deemed the individual should be repositioned outside of Canada that should be a decision made under the due process afforded by this countries legal system and not be any kind of unilateral governmental action.
@8MG3ZJL4yrs4Y

@8VJ8KRS4yrs4Y

no but they should be threatened with it and told to do better or they cannot stay
@8GHWTQB5yrs5Y
