Why Does Government Want Law-Breaker to Stay in Canada?

POST UPDATED: January 24, 2025 / Original Post May 5, 2024

It appears Mr. Haq will finally be deported on Saturday January 25, after months of the Canada Border Services Agency going to court to enforce their deportation order, and in spite of politicians including Liberal MPs such as Vancouver Quadra MP Joyce Murray, apparently Liberal Immigration Minister Marc Miller, and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May all protecting his alleged “right” to enter Canada on a student visa, abandon his studies to instead stage numerous illegal blockages and disruptions harming thousands of Canadians going about their business, be sentenced to time in jail, and stay in Canada despite a lengthening criminal record.

Zain Haq came to Canada on a study permit in 2019. He’s violated the terms of his permit, broken the law numerous times, been sentenced to jail time, and CBSA has been trying to deport him for more than a year. Why are the Liberals intent on keeping him in Canada?

Zain Haq is a busy person.

He’s been arrested at least 10 times, convicted of mischief charges, and been transparent about leading a US-funded “rebellion” in Canada.

Pick any blockade, and he was likely in the front row – including one that disrupted emergency access to St. Paul’s Hospital. He’s a co-founder and member of various eco-terrorist groups and actively encourages others to break the law.

But on April 19, three days before his deportation, he got a call from his (Liberal) MP for Vancouver Quadra telling him to unpack. His lawyer thinks someone in the Cabinet decided he should stay.

At the Immigration Committee, I moved a motion to demand that the Minister of Immigration, Marc Miller, and the MP for Vancouver Quadra, Joyce Murray, appear to answer questions about their role in the stay of deportation for Mr. Haq.

Why does the government feel it is in the best interests of Canadians for this law-breaker to remain in Canada? The NDP-Liberal members voted it down. We may never know.
