The Somali refugee accused of stabbing an Edmonton police constable on the weekend and running down four pedestrians was ordered to be deported from the United States in 2011 by a U.S. immigration judge, CBC News has learned.

In July 2011, U.S. Customs and Border Protection transferred Abdulahi Hasan Sharif into the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego, Calif., according to Jennifer D. Elzea, acting press secretary for the ICE office of public affairs.

Two months later, on Sept. 22, 2011, an immigration judge ordered Sharif removed to Somalia. Sharif waived his right to appeal that decision.

But Sharif was released on Nov. 23, 2011, on an ICE order of supervision, "due to a lack of likelihood of his removal in the reasonably foreseeable future," Elzea said in a statement to CBC News.

Sharif failed to report to the ICE enforcement and removal operations centre on his scheduled date, Jan. 24, 2012.

"Efforts by ERO San Diego to locate him were not successful," Elzea said.

Sharif had no known criminal history at the time of his dealings with ICE, she said.

Sharif crossed the border into Canada in 2012, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said Monday in Ottawa.

Goodale said Sharif arrived through a "regular port of entry" and obtained refugee status at the time.

TransCanada is closing the book on its proposed Energy East pipeline, but the political fallout is just beginning.

On Thursday the company announced it won't proceed with its Energy East pipeline and Eastern Mainline proposals.

The proposed Energy East project would have carried oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan across the country to be refined in New Brunswick. It would have added 1,500 kilometres worth of new oil pipelines to an existing network of more than 3,000 kilometres, which would have been converted from carrying natural gas, to carrying oil.

Proposed pipeline:

The U.S. Commerce Department hit Bombardier on Friday with more duties on its CSeries commercial jet.

The department said it will impose a 79.82 per cent preliminary anti-dumping duty against the Montreal-based company.

The U.S. government move follows last week's decision to slap preliminary countervailing tariffs of nearly 220 per cent on Bombardier.

Yikes.

Catalan indendence thing reminds me of our brush with it.

Except that we handled it so well. Didn't arrest the pro independence people, didn't send in riot police,

let the vote proceed. interesting hearing the same things we heard, big corporations are going to leave the region if they separate, cause they need to stay inside the EU. etc.

Spain has serious authoritarian roots, that linger on.

 

King of Saudi Arabia just wrapping up meeting Putin. Made an arms deal amongst other things.

anyone think that USA/Canada/Germany will put sanctions on Saudi?  :D.

I think this is a big deal that is being ignored. World is starting to turn away from Trump led US.

It's an undependable, unreliable wack job country now. No way of knowing what the idiot will say or do next.

 not to mention he's been attacking US allies since he was elected.
