    There is precedent to revoke his citizenship.

    In the 1980s, there was another extremist who used his international media platform to spew hate and disinformation. His name was Ernst Zundel. He continually laughed at Canada’s laws against hate speech. He was ultimately jailed and then deported from our country.
