I listen to As it Happens on CBC radio, and they kept talking about a canadian national who was deported from the US to Syria. They say that the canadian government wasn't notified and that he never really had any sort of due process. i am kind of interested if we did deport this gentleman to Syria just becaus ethere were allegations , he had conections to Al-Queda.

Is it really right for us to deport candian citizens to another country, without any sort of due process?

I did find his file on amnesty.org.
