Capping two years of legal proceedings, Canadian Federal Court Justice Pierre Blais ruled that Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel may reasonably be described as a threat to the security of Canada; under the country's immigration laws he is therefore subject to deportation to his native Germany. Zundel is not a citizen of Canada. 

 In a scathing 63-page decision, Justice Blais described Zundel as a hypocrite who cultivates a pacifist public image while guiding, aiding and supporting neo-Nazi groups around the world, including some that "propagate violent messages of hate" and work to accomplish "the destruction of governments and multicultural societies."   

Justice Blais' ruling is not subject to appeal, and Zundel could be deported from Canada at any time. Upon his return to Germany, Zundel faces arrest and trial for his dissemination of Holocaust denial and neo-Nazi ideas.
