He’s told he is the subject of “an outstanding immigration warrant” before being led away. Police didn’t offer any clarification on the nature of the warrant. He was arrested after giving a speech in Calgary, Alberta. He has since been released but had his passport seized,
He wrote online: “OK I’m free, well, sort of. None of this makes sense, I’m now detained in Calgary, prevented from leaving the city, these conditions stop me from continuing my tour of Canada and meeting with guests for podcasts. I’m not even allowed to leave to travel home.”
A total of 10 police officers, some plain-clothed and others in uniform, were involved in the arrest.
