Sure but as you said, the investigation is still ongoing. He could have just been a mentally ill Muslim guy that loves Daesh.
This is not directed at you CC, but let's not start claiming that every Muslim criminal is a terrorist and thinking of ways to deport them (even if they're Canadian citizens).

Terrorist acts are violent acts committed by groups or individuals with causes contrary to the society that they live in.
The IRA was decidedly Stalinist in their goals and leans as were the Red Army Faction and other 80's revolutionary groups. But at the heart they were terrorists firmly believing that Terror would cause change.
We've seen Maoist Groups, Christian Groups, Race Based Groups, Anarchist groups.
As well as Islamist Groups.
The reasoning is slightly less important then the result.
It seems pretty simple in a lot of ways. If your a naturalized Canadian Citizen that commits an act of terror you are charged with a terrorist related crime and are looking at about 25 years in max security.
If your a Immigrant or someone that wasn't born here and commit a terrorist related crime, the easiest solution is to send you back to your place of origin. However I believe under international conventions if that country refuses to take you back then you can't be deported. This is the question that is going to be debated by every European Country and Western Country as keeping them imprisoned here is expensive and an almost wasted exercise.
