Gary Freeman: Canada

Leader Thomas Mulcair Dept: On a recent visit to Washington, D.C., Mulcair met with Gary Freeman, who in 2008 was extradited to the U.S. for the 1969 incident, in which an officer was shot in the arm. Freeman had been living in Canada under an alias, according to CTV. After serving a 30-day sentence, he was denied re-entry into Canada where his wife and four children live and NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair says an American-born man who Conservative MP Jason Kenney accused of being a former Black Panther and a cop shooter should be allowed to reunite with his family in Canada. Freeman pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for the shooting. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
