ImWithStupid Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Just not a neighborhood in Canada. I about pissed myself when I saw this one... Ayers denied entry into Canada January 19, 2009 1:00 PM Toronto educators canceled a series of lectures and meetings featuring Williams Ayers today after Canadian border officers Sunday night refused to allow the Chicago resident and professor to leave the airport in Toronto. Ayers, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago and former member of the Weather Underground, found his 1960s radical past briefly at the center of the 2008 presidential election. But he is well-regarded among urban educators and had been scheduled to deliver lectures and interviews today on education initiatives for marginalized students, said Jeffrey Kugler, executive director of the Centre for Urban Schooling at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. "We were at the airport waiting to pick Bill up. He just never came out, really," Kugler said. After Ayers' flight landed at 6 p.m., Kugler said he and an attorney waited until 10:30 p.m. before officials from the Canadian Border Services Agency told them that Ayers had been put back onto a plane to Chicago. Officials with the Canadian government referred questions on the matter to the Canadian Border Services Agency. Ayers, back in Chicago, did not respond to interview requests.

ImWithStupid Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 I just wish the US would have taken the opportunity to not allow him to return. He'd become a man without a country. Then again, I'm sure Cuba or Venezuela would take him. Quote

ImWithStupid Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Are you serious? A DUI bars someone from entering Canada? wow... I think if you apply way ahead of time you can be allowed a waiver. Anyone with a criminal record (including even misdemeanors or Driving While Impaired (DWI)) charges may be barred from entering Canada and must qualify for a special waiver well in advance of any planned travel for further processing, which may take some time.

snafu Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah I had a DWI about 30 years ago so it wasn't on my record when I went through the last time. But about 20 years ago when I tried to go through Canada they gave me hell. They asked me if I was a felon and I told them no. Then when they checked they saw the DWI. They said " I thought you wern't a felon?" "I said I'm not in America!" They didn't like that to much. kept me there for awhile. Then they took our daughter aside and asked her if we were her parents becuse she's part native and didn't resemble me or my wife. What a pain in the ass but I can understand now.
