Murder someone in the U.S., Mexico, India or points in between?

No worries. Canada is rolling out the red carpet.

On Friday, a report revealed that the Canada Border Services Agency admits more than 29,000 foreign fugitives are at large in the country. From the fun facts file, that would be like everyone in Fort Erie being a crook.
Take Punjabi gangster Goldy Brar.
Warrants have been sworn out for Brar for the murder of District Youth Congress President Gurlal Singh Pehalwan. Then, on May 29, 2022, Brar claimed credit for the murders of Indian singer and politician Sidhu Moose Wala.

The 29-year-old told us so on his Facebook page. Brar is also linked to a gang responsible for the slayings of a number of high-ranking cops. He slipped into Canada in 2017 using the old student visa dodge.

To be fair, most of the foreign fugitives at large are not Goldy Brar. Their crimes are a hodgepodge of the mostly mundane.
Still, how did they slip into the country? A friend of mine was once ordered out of Canada even though he was contributing to the community and economy.
CBSA treated him like a killer. No appeals. Nothing. Out.
So why the largesse for the likes of Goldy Brar?
He is, apparently in the stale voice of the Ottawa bureaucrat, “wanted inventory.”
Is that all? Nothing to see here, folks.
The CBSA wrote in its report to the Commons: “The wanted inventory includes cases under review to determine if a warrant is required or cases where a warrant has been issued for the arrest, detention and removal of a foreign national.”

“The complexity of cases in the ‘removals working’ inventory has steadily increased since 2011. It requires more effort from the agency to enforce removal orders.”
No shock!
This is the same unit that admitted losing track of 2,800 foreign criminals in the country in 2021, with 70% of the criminal cases not even getting a second look.
Among the wanted foreign fugitives, some were implicated in crimes like murder, assault, drug trafficking, sex assault, fraud and theft.
Sukhdool Singh Gill’s end run came to a dramatic conclusion in a Winnipeg industrial park in September. Cops found the 39-year-old notorious criminal shot to death.
Gill was wanted on a multitude of charges in the subcontinent as “a criminal, not a terrorist,” cops said. Indian cops said he was a facilitator of death, sneaking into Canada in 2017 on an illegally obtained passport.

Another rock star fugitive who had been on the CBSA wanted list (which has been scrapped for … whatever reason) was Mohamed Ratni. The failed refugee claimant had ties to an Algerian terrorist group.
He was first busted in 2012 before Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board sprung him under “strict” conditions. Then, he disappeared before being arrested and taken back into custody in 2019.
In August, the CBSA told the Globe and Mail there were active warrants for 300 foreign criminals “deemed a danger to the public and facing deportation.” This supergroup includes sex offenders and killers.
Of course, everyone remembers serial killer Charles Ng, home address: San Quentin, Death Row.
Ng ticked a lot of boxes: He raped, tortured and murdered between 11 and 25 women in the 1980s.
When the music stopped, Ng fled to Canada where he was busted on a weapons and robbery beef. Much haggling and pearl-clutching over Ng ensued before he was whisked by the Mounties to California to face justice.
The killer played Canadian authorities like a fiddle. This seems to be par for the course.
