McQuaid arrested
April 23, 2001 permalink
Today four plainclothes police officers approached the home of Robert T McQuaid. They handcuffed him and announced that he was under arrest for violation of the immigration act. McQuaid's wife retrieved his Certificate of Canadian Citizenship. The officers released McQuaid and left with a photocopy of the certificate. They received a tip about the immigration problems, but refused to reveal the source of the tip.
Addendum. Documents obtained after four months of foot-dragging from the Toronto Police under the Freedom of Information Act do not support the connection of this erroneous arrest to Dufferin Children's Aid.
