“New Democrat Citizenship and Immigration Critic Olivia Chow calls on the Minister of Immigration and Minister of Public Safety to allow educational theorist, Bill Ayers entry into Canada.
Flashback to NDP MP Pat Martin – “Winnipeg NDP MP Pat Martin said the [Westboro Baptist Church] should be “sent packing,” and should not try to show up in Winnipeg “for their own safety.”
Say what you like about the Phelps “family”, but so far they haven’t blown anything up.
…
This is just confirmation that Ayers and the NDP share the same values… No surprise here.
ET also wants to ban those with whom she disagrees. That group should not have been banned entry to Canada, since they were neither criminals nor terrorists. They certainly demonstrated a lack of compassion and taste but they were not criminals. The local law enforcement could have ensured that they were kept at a safe distance from the funeral.
The same way they would achieve equality in ‘outcome’ with health care and income distribution: make it such that everyone is equally miserable
Didn’t Winston Churchill say something like: socialism is just a way of spreading around the misery?
The last time Ayerhole was focused on “at risk” children was when he detonated a bomb in a bathroom that was inhabited by a mother and a small child seconds earlier.
At risk children indeed.
So apparently Ayers was denied entry 3 years ago….was told not come in again unless he followed some procedure to get approval, permanent I suspect. He subsequently broke the rules 2 years ago and got in.
This time he was caught and denied again.
So the man doesn’t want to respect our laws, whether he should or shouldnt have been on the list in the first place is now immaterial. Demonstrated refusal to follwo the laws is reason enough to keep him out.
So this isnt recent and it now explains why he had a lawyer meet him at the airport, he was expecting the problem.
Every day the lefticles become more unspeakable in their disregard for decency, reason and justice.
Now when was the last time you heard an MSMer go after the likes of Chow or OISE about crap like this?

This isnt anything new, it is just inconsistent. He expected it…
I am sure there is a process for him to be permanently removed from the list he is on. Life is a bitch when you can’t outrun your past, especially when you are unapologetic for it.
The problem, of course, is that Ayers has a criminal background. Increasingly, even people arrested for minor offenses (say something short of throwing a bomb) have difficulty gaining entry to Canada. I do not see the rationale for making Ayers an exception, though I would not oppose statue of limitations for minor offenses (which his was not). If his educational message is so important that it must be heard by those at OISE, then set up a video-conference.
CBCpravda is in high gear today for the repatriation of the criminal Omar Khadr.
CBCpravda ALL KHADR , All the time.
I see they finally stopped publishing his grade 7 picture.
Cal2,
Because the child soldier thing doesnt fly, he was 15, so according to the statute used by the International Criminal Court to convict Charles Taylor of recruiting child soldiers it specifically mentions that child soldiers are those under 15, not 15 and under.
Another example of reporters not knowing anything about what they are advocating/reporting about.
Now he may be sent home if Obama closes Gitmo and refuses to prosecute. Baby Khadr being a Canadian then becomes our problem to deal with.
Quite franly if the americans dont want to prosecute him for killing one of their people why should we. Obama’s issue, Harper can simply say, the Americans have declined to prosecute so story is over.
Ayers and Obama were part of the Annenberg Challenge.
http://rightvoices.com/2008/08/19/alert-the-chicago-annenberg-challengeobamaayers-daley-records-cover-up/
When the dust settled and they checked on the progress of the children they were as the others not in the Challenge. Off the top of my head about 2 million dollars were spent.
To me he is the Al Gore of education.
What does Olivia think of the FLQ mailbox bombers of the 60’s? Childish pranks?
Well sadly they were let back in
Well sadly they were let back in
If Bill Ayers entered Canada, at least we’d have something interesting to watch on the news.
Understatement of the year, maybe?
batb: I also saw Judy Rebick on TVO last evening. I thought she really embarrassed herself with her foolish and bigoted comments. I was really pleased that Adam called her on several. Paiken also cut her short when she wanted to go into an over-the-top rant against Harper that was clearly not relevant to the discussion. Her type of rhetoric is so thoughtless that you just can’t take her seriously.
Ayers and Obama wasted a 50 million dollar grant from a philanthropic fund to improve education in poor/black areas of Chicago. Instead of improving kids’ reading, math, science knowledge which would be their ticket out of the ghetto, these two giant “brains” blew it on teaching “social activism” meaning these kids will be whining and marching complete with Ayers role model violence to demand what they cannot earn with their shoddy marxist “education”.
I just posted this story on a popular Canadian political discussion group on Facebook here. It’s purportedly started out as anti-Coalition group but so many Radical Leftie trolls have joined that I’m sure to get a load of attacks! ROFL
Her type of rhetoric is so thoughtless that you just can’t take her seriously.

True that, LindaL. I pretty much wrote Rebick off the first time I ever heard her.
“Let me not do what I should do for myself, but what the hell you should be doing for me!”
…chants from the left
“Americans have declined to prosecute so story is over.”
I am sure the risk of having this guy around is negligible.
Is it any wonder the Left scares the bloody hell out of me and many others?
Yet more reason why I oppose the Left!
NO to allowing known terrorists to enter Canada! NO, NO, NO!!!
Betcha Ms. Chow would be adamantly opposed to allowing a KKKer into Canada. Obiously, Leftists are accepting of violence and terrorism as long as it doesn’t have racism as a motive.
Ok to be violent and terroristic as long as the violence and terror is aimed at a non-Leftist state apparatus. Non-racist terrorists are the darlings of the Left (although the “Palestinian” terrorists are an exception, as they’re definitely racists and the Left just looooves them!)
Is Olivia Chow saying that terrorism against governments is ok? Why is she eager to reward a terrorist by demanding he be given a soapbox to spread hatred and contempt or whatever?
I doubt that she’d demand that an Israeli politician, say, Netanjahu, be let into Canada for the purpose of having his say.
I have no respect for her, but, compared to Olivia Chow, Rebick’s a genius. That such a vacuous woman as Chow, who consistently spouts nothing but ideological pablum, sits in our parliament is a good advertisement for a benign dictatorship!
If Chow’s riding were not full of brainwashed, lefty university students and recent immigrants, many of whom, like Chow, are unable to either understand or speak English very well, I don’t think she’d have fooled so many people so much of the time. That’s one riding where I’d almost prefer the Liberals to win.
How disturbing that, between two fifth columnists, Intellectual Pygmy Olivia and Taliban Jack, they skim off $$hundreds of thousands from the taxpayer each year. Well, that’s democracy for you. As Churchill said, “What a lousy way to run a country, except for all the others”!
“If Bill Ayers entered Canada”
Abandon all hope and change, ye who enter.
I would guess Ayers will hitch a ride on Airforce One to create an incident
Canadian Seninel at 6:53, further to your above statement, I would say that leftists are able to overlook any crime as long as they adhere to the correct ideology. and by any crime I mean murder, rape, child molestation, genocide… and by the correct ideology I mean anything but conservative. does anyone think that Chow would support Ann Coulter being allowed into the country in the pursuit of acedemic freedom?
For what it is worth, I decided to write a polite letter to Olivia Chow;
Dear Olivia,
I noticed on your website that you are calling for the lifting of the ban of Bill Ayers from entry into Canada. I believe that this is a huge mistake and that it is important for Canada to take a strong stand about this issue, regardless of how well connected Bill Ayers is. The fact is that Bill Ayers is an unrepentant terrorist who has killed other individuals via his illegal bomb making activities. According to public record, Bill Ayers has stated that his only regret is that he did not cause more destruction. The fact that the FBI had botched their investigation and were therefore unable to get a conviction in no way justifies his vile behavior.
If he has published creative ideas with regard to education, then by all means let’s debate the merits of those ideas as they are published. This would be no different than debating from debating the merits of ideas put forward by someone who had that material published while serving a prison sentence. But under no circumstances, should he ever be allowed into Canada until he has had to face justice within the U.S. for his illegal actions that killed others (which is now highly unlikely to happen).
Sincerely,
Mark, it would have been a good idea to ask Chow what she thinks of what you’ve said.
Whoops, I forgot, Chow doesn’t think.
Just thinking…rearrange the letters in the phrase “educational theorist” and you’re just a couple of r’s short of the word “terrorist”.
(I still like General Hillier’s description of terrorists, “despicable murderers and scumbags.”)
Another bonehead statement from the Nothing Doing Party. She had her stupid plea up on her site and to satisfy my curiosity, I went to see if there was anything posted on the NDP site. No statement of support from Whacko Jacko.
Anyone advocating entry into any nation by avowed terrorists, is an idiot. Turning him away a the border was absolutely the right thing to do.
It’s amazing. We can strip Zundel of his citizenship and deport him to a jail in Germany. No one will miss the creep.
BUT, we can’t do the same to Khadr.
We can prevent Phelps from entering the country but we aren’t supposed to stop Ayers.
I guess to leftards, racism is far worse than killing people. I’d say they’re too stupid to get their priorities right. Truly.
That isn’t to defend the other creeps but to ask why leftards are dim enough not to see their own brain-addled hypocrisy.
The Poor Man’s Timothy McVeigh?
Billy Boy is nothing if not spoiled rich kid. If anything Timothy McVeigh was the poor man’s William Ayers.
Bill Ayers is an admitted terrorist. The only reason he was not convicted was because of a technicality. However, that Ayers is a terrorist is well established fact (although his wife is probably even more of a terrorist than Bill Ayers himself is).
Having said that, I was PROUD that Canada showed the balls to deny this terrorist entry to Canada.
As for Mr. Obama himself, I have nothing against Kenyan-born liars. Indeed, I regard all liars equally. I haven’t the time of day for them…
“educational theorist” … That’s certainly a new use of euphemism.
Good for you, Canada. Much as we’d like to see him leave the States, we wouldn’t wish him on our friends.
The best of all possible outcomes would have been when at the border, Canada said “You can’t come in”, and America said “You can’t come back”.
