“Canadians are taking a stand against those who are in our country illegally,” said Minister Toews, in a statement released on the CBSA website. “Our Government is committed to removing individuals who are inadmissible because they are suspected of, or complicit in, war crimes or crimes against humanity and those who have been convicted for acts of serious criminality committed in Canada,” the minister added.

The release identified Allie, as a 36-year-old man born in Guyana, whom it said is inadmissible to Canada for serious criminality for being convicted of assault with a weapon. Henry, with the alias ‘Tiger,’ 44, was convicted of break and enter and assault causing bodily harm. In addition he was also convicted of attempted robbery.
