Enough is enough.

Former Nazi death squad member Helmut Oberlander has exhausted every possible appeal in this country to obstruct and delay his deportation — two decades worth of legal filings at every level of Canada’s judiciary.

In December, the highest court in the land refused to hear his appeal. Case closed. Auf Wiedersehen, at last.

Or so we mistakenly assumed. But this is Canada, of course. The 96-year-old retired Kitchener real estate developer should have been immediately handed a one-way ticket. Instead, two months later, and Oberlander not only remains here but he has yet another ongoing legal challenge delaying his departure.

According to his lawyer Ronald Poulton, the case is now before the Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board as the government tries to obtain a deportation order.

“We are arguing that they do not have jurisdiction to issue such an order as Mr. Oberlander never lost Canadian domicile, a status which he and others acquired at the time he entered Canada and which makes deportation on the allegations presently made by the government, not possible,” Poulton told the Toronto Sun.
