It sounds weird to consider traveling to Canada is "traveling abroad".

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) - Former President George W. Bush says he won't criticize President Barack Obama because Obama "deserves my silence," and says he plans to write a book about the 12 toughest decisions he made in office. Bush's speech Tuesday at a luncheon in Calgary, Alberta was his first since leaving office.

He declined to comment about the Obama administration like former Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney said Sunday that Obama's decisions are threatening the nation's safety.

looks like they missed their chance.

I think Canada should bar Bush from entering Canada, I absolutely do. There may come a time when we wish to bar some Canadian asshole and this would be good leverage in the bank. Go for it Canada.

Damned loony Canuck attornies should spend more time worrying about the declining market value of beaver pelts and the suspected crossbreeding of Sasquatch and the Grizzly, offspring thereof known as the GrizQuatch in some parts, or the Sasqly in others.

Actually, America has done that from time to time.

Farley Mowat, one of Canada's best-known writers, who has published over two dozen books that have been translated into some sixty languages and have sold some seven million copies worldwide, is most recognized for his work about the Northern Canadian Eskimos [also known as Inuit], who are threatened by the encroachments of the white man, and about the fate of endangered animal species. His A Whale for the Killing (1972) was made into a movie that was shown on ABC-TV in March 1980, and his Never Cry Wolf (1963) was made by Disney studios into a full-length motion picture in 1983.

Mowat calls his work 'subjective nonfiction,' and his forceful, opinionated personality and embattled anti-establishment views have made him, in the words of Chicago Tribune correspondent Janet Cawley, 'the irrepressible gadfly of Canadian literature.' He has twice won Canada's most prestigious literary prize, the Governor General's Award; has received many other honors, including several for his children's books; and in 1981 was decorated with the Order of Canada, the highest honor that his native land can bestow upon a civilian. ...

Mowat had planned to come to the United States on a promotional tour for Sea of Slaughter, but at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, on April 23, 1985, he was barred from traveling there by American immigration officials, who informed him that he was being excluded under the McCarran-Walter Act, which denies entry to anarchists, communists, or anyone deemed 'prejudicial to the public interest.' Mowat demanded an apology from President Ronald Reagan, which was not forthcoming, but after protests were registered by the Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, officals at the United States Department of State, and renowned writers such as Norman Mailer, he received a letter from the American consul, granting him permission to visit the United States for one month for business purposes.

Oooooohhh, a scary author! What a fragile country America - land of the liberty, home of the free - must be to bar a frightening writer!


As for the OP, pay no attention. About a fifth of the Canadian population are socialist anti-American and so you get this type of thing from time to time.

There was a poll several years ago done by the Canadian consulate which asked Americans all sorts of questions about Canada. When asked what Canada's biggest industry was, the fourth most popular choice by Americans was "beaver trapping."



Hilarious...

Who the hell cares WHAT Canadian attornies want?

Canadians.

No, there was a canadian lawyer on countdown who talked about this. If he violated international law, a country could arrest him. We as a so called law abiding nation are ignoring that he violated international laws that we are signatories to. Sounds sort of Red Chinesey to me.

Kissinger doesn't travel to certain foreign countries because they have a warrant on him.
