Zundel

Ernst Zundel, the Holocaust revisionist who has lived in Canada for over 40 years, has been deported to his native Germany, where he will face criminal charges (Holocaust denial is a federal crime in Germany). Though Zundel is a non-violent person who has never been convicted of a crime here in Canada, he has been held in a prison facility (in solitary confinement) for the past two years, awaiting extradiction. A Federal Court judge recently declared him a national security risk.
I do not support revisionist Holocaust theories like Zundel's, but I object to the deportation because I think Canadian law enforcement agencies would better serve the public by going after violent and repeat offenders, than by spending taxpayer dollars to incarcerate and deport an ignorant old man who has never been convicted of a crime. It's stupid to be dangerous, but not always dangerous to be stupid. If Canada deported every permanent resident who publicly espouses crackpot racial, historical, or political theories the country would be emptied fast.
