THOSE GENEROUS CANADIAN TAXPAYERS

  Canadian border agents roused an asylum seeker from his sleep last week, shackled his arms together and placed him on a chartered flight to Guinea.
   The asylum seeker, 23, had resisted a previous attempt at deportation last month, telling the Montreal Gazette he struggled so much the agents beat his legs while trying to force him onto a commercial flight.
   But the pilot refused to take him on and so the Canadian Border Services Agency decided to charter a flight for the 23-year-old on Dec. 18. He was the only passenger on board.

   Since 2016, the CBSA has used chartered flights to deport seven people at a total cost of $821,157. During that span, the agency removed 23,578 people from Canada.
