TORONTO — An Egyptian man long branded as a threat to Canada’s national security has lost his bid to lift restrictions on his freedom. “(But) the danger to the security of Canada associated to Mr. Mahjoub has not evaporated; it remains latent, perceptible and factual.” “Nothing will ever be to the satisfaction of Mr. Mahjoub,” Noel said in his decision. He has fought numerous legal battles in an effort to overturn his national security certificate, which allows Ottawa to jail him or otherwise limit his freedom without laying criminal charges. In rejecting the request, Noel leaned heavily on a 2013 Federal Court decision that found Mahjoub’s national security certificate to be reasonable.
