(CBC) Since his release from immigration detention almost two years ago, Othman (Adam) Hamdan has been living in limbo.
The Canada Border Services Agency has been trying to deport him, calling him a risk to Canadians.
He says he has been trying to clear his name and get on with his life.
“I’m trying to go forward; I’m trying to be the model citizen,” Hamdan told The National in his first televised interview.
“And still, the Canadian government has the audacity to say I’m dangerous.”
Hamdan, a Jordanian citizen, arrived in Canada in 2002 seeking a better life, and settled in Fort St. John, B.C. But the politically minded, outspoken man caught the attention of the RCMP in 2014 in the wake of the Parliament Hill shootings.
