They may not have blown up something but to appear at a funeral for a murder victim, to say that the young man deserved his death because "it was god's response to Canadian policies enabling abortion, homosexuality and divorce and remarriage' is unacceptable.

Why is it 'either-or'? Why not ban both this inane fundamentalist group and Bill Ayers, who still supports his bombing years?

"Canada must respect academic freedom"

If Ayers isn't a Joo I don't see why we wouldn't let him lecture at the UofT!

Educational theorist, huh? So, he just thinks about teaching, is that why the border guards turned him away? Or is there something about Ayers that Chow and the MSM aren't mentioning?

For Immediate Release
Canadian Taxpayer, John Luft,calls on Olivia Chow and her husband with the boiled dogs-head grin, Vladimir Layton get real jobs, get out of the taxpayers pockets, or better yet just get the hell out of the country all together.

"Why not ban both this inane fundamentalist group and Bill Ayers?"

Ummm...I think that's the point...

Educational theorist, huh? So, he just thinks about teaching, is that why the border guards turned him away? Or is there something about Ayers that Chow and the MSM aren't mentioning?

What possible educational value do they think an unrepentent domestic terrorist has for kids in Canada? Why is he not in jail where he belongs?...or even worse, why do they let him have access to kids?...are they nuts?

Taxpayer Erik Larsen also strongly disagrees with Olivia Chow's stance. Vehemently.

Just another reason why the NDP will never run this country.

Just think, we were one terrible decision by the GG away from letting Chow's spouse have serious input on decisions like this.

OK, you can stop thinking about it now.

Kudos to John Luft.

Where's the poll to ask what the people think Olivia?

The NDP are less popular in Canada than G.W. Bush is in the United States.

No point, I just like to mention that fact. A lot.

Speaking of the Phelps family, why were they banned anyways? Just because their son Michael won a bunch of Olympic gold medals is no reason to deny them entry.

...children deserve policies that produce equality in academic outcomes...

I'm gob-smacked. Chow is so inept that she openly discloses the abominable agenda; "equality in outcome" as opposed to equality in opportunity. How does the "educational theorist" propose to achieve equality in outcome, other than dragging everyone down to the outcome that is achievable by the lowest ability?

Chow, go ask your husband for a smack.

“In his excellent blog about Billy Ayers, Ronald Radosh refers to Ayer’s
“supporters in Grant Park in 1968″ who “attacked fiercely, even
paralyzing one cop for life, and then bragging about it in a song
written to a Dylan tune.” This is only partly correct. Actually, Ayers
and about 600 Weatherpeople engaged in the “Days of Rage” in Chicago on
October 8-10, 1969. They attacked policeman and smashed store windows.
In their book /Destructive Generation/, David Horowitz and Peter Collier
wrote the following: “One city official, Richard Elrod, was paralyzed
form the neck down when he attempted to tackle a demonstrator and struck
his head on a curb. This inspired Ted Gold [who was one of the
Weathermen killed when the bombs they were building blew up in a
townhouse on 11th Street in Greenwich Village in New York in December
1969, JH] who became the Weatherman songwriter, to write the lyrics to
be sung to Dylans ‘Lay, Lady, Lay” The lyrics were the following:
“Lay Elrod, lay
Lay in the street for a while
Stay, Elrod stay
Stay in your bed a while
You thought you could stop Weatherman
But up-front people put you on your can
Stay Elrod, stay
Stay in your iron lung
Play, Elrod, play
Play with your toes for a while…”
Few things convey the viciousness and fanaticism of the Weather
organization Ayers was leading better that Gold’s sick song lyrics.”

Olivia Chow is an unadulterated idiot; she's more of an idiot than I had thought, if that's possible. And pity me. She's my MP.

Bill Ayers has nothing to add to the education of Canadian children. Nothing.

In fact, I'm clear that any of his "educational" ideas would more often than not be subversive. I'm equally scathing in my assessment of OISE. OISE is a prime culprit in the dumbing down of our children's learning. Asking OISE to oversee the education of Ontario children is like putting a fox in charge of the chicken coop.

Good for the Canadian Border Patrol.

KEEP. AYERS. OUT.

Should read: we *are* one terrible decision by the GG...

We are not out of the woods yet.

Oh, and this is priceless from Judy Rebick last night on The Agenda: The panel was discussing Canadian vs. American politics and Adam Daifallah made the comment when the stereotype of "rude Americans" vs. "polite Canadians" came up that southern Americans, in particular, are very polite.

Then "tolerance" came up and Judy Rebick pointed out that because only 46% of Americans voted for Barak Obama, they obviously aren't a very tolerant nation. She gets a failing grade for both logic and tolerance.

Being a leftie, of course a vote for Barak Obama = tolerance, whereas a vote for anyone else is intolerant.

C'mon, Judy. 'Looks like you're intolerant of 54% of Americans. Why? Because they didn't vote for the candidate of YOUR choice. Lefties are such NARCISSISTS. Anyone who doesn't see things through their tiny, little lens is bad, intolerant, and close-minded. It never occurs to them that they can't be all right (while they're left) all of the time.

It's a toddler mentality and I'm really sick of it. What a waste of taxpayers' time and money the Natural Dumbie Party is. Poor PMSH having to deal with them across the aisle day in and day out. Couldn't we please vote them off the island -- or out of the sandbox?

~Texas Canuck

The point of the NDP used to be to fill the bill of "Left Wing Socialists" to help the LPC pose as Moderate Centrists therefore plausibly making the CPC look like the "Radical Right Wingers".

Now the CPC looks like the Moderate Centrists while the NDP fits the Left Wing Socialist position and the LPC will be slotting into the "also ran" has-been category.

Those that can't do teach. Those that can't teach, teach teachers. So in this case those that can't teach teachers teach the theory of teaching. Ok, got it. I don't need any other reason to keep him out.

Bill Ayers is a "new left" fascist. That's not so new information, nor is the fact he is a raging fascist complete with the violence nor the lack of any type of responsibility for his actions. Who cares what this jackass thinks at any time, period. Good on CRA for not letting this piece of crap into Canada. The fact it came as a "suprise" too him is even better. This "educator" dedicated his books to Sirhan Sirhan, remember him? He assassinated Sen Robert Kennedy. The second, to people convicted of being cop killers. Nice... it gets way better though, you want to see a real piece of work? Check out his charming wife Bernardine Dohrn, she is a real treat.Olivia Chow or Mrs Layton, should perhaps actually do something worth doing, rather than the endless self promotion she and her ilk revel in. Love the quote about the NDP being less popular than the numbers Pres Bush has. Much gnashing of tiny pointy teeth over that! The Phelps family nutbar's and registered Democratic party supporters, (must be some sort of cognitive disconnect there I would think) have had entirely too much ink written about their stupidity.

Looks like Olivia is okay with bombing police stations, the pentagon and at least one private home. They did cause a few deaths.

Olivia thinks that's okay. Jack probably told her it was okay because I don't think Olivia is smart enough to know what Ayers is.

My guess is she was probably a small child living her parents and a bunch of farm animals somewhere in SE Asia when Ayers was attempting to overthrow the US government. That is the kind of brilliance one can expect from lefties like Jack, Olivia and William.

Working tirelessly to bring us the peoples paradise.

It's a toddler mentality and I'm really sick of it. ~ batb

batb, I would propose that, although it's child-like mentality, it's not toddler grade, because toddlers are still mostly influenced by parents who usually have the toddlers' best interests at heart. It's actually a kindergarten mentality, because that's where the little darlings are first exposed to the formal propaganda of our educational system.

This, of course won't make you, or me, any less sick of it.

Where do I apply to join CBSA and how fast can I get sent to whatever port of entry Ayers approaches?

A 5 hour cavity search would be a good start...

Start with his skull cavity, although that would be a quick one.

His Excellentness, The Tip, The Top, The Leader of the Gang, Mahmoud Baby, must have turned down Taliban Jack's invitation to speak at the BLOC/NDP/LIBERAL Coalition Party of Canada Convention ??? Sad that the wanna-be bomber is all they could find to fill the spot...

Ayers had told the New York Times on September 11, 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs."

...and we don't regret refusing entry to unrepentant, self-confessed terrorist-felons...end of convo.

BTW Oliva, pull the anarchist's handbook outta your Bolshi tuchas.

"theorist"
What goods' an educational anything, with spelling that bad ?

Can Olivia be charged with anything for trying to get a known "terrorist" into Canada AFTER the ELECTED government and it's agency denied him entry?

I'm not a lawyer. BUT I am curious.

The real question should be why U of T thought this unrepentent domestic terrorist should speak there. Don't they know "he is just a guy in the neighbourhood" not a real BHO buddy.
What the hell "at risk' child is attending university anyway? Would he be speaking to the new crop of teachers? They may be idealists but don't want to teach "at risk children" ,way to risky commrad.
Hey Chow,criminal records restrict your life no matter your politics.

Presumably it is germane that Ayers has been admitted previously a dozen times.

Re: Can Olivia be charged.... Who knows, but don't spoil the fun. Let her rant, if Taliban Jack wants an open casket service - so be it.

This Chow lady is quite possibly mail order, and not to savy in Canadian ways. After being exposed to Jack, [what an awful thought} what mental capacity she once might have had would be greatly diminished. Jack strikes me as the type who would strike out with a union prostitute, so I would bet he went to NDP Harmony.ca to find this nut.

To Ayers is human.

To lob rockets is divine.

On the Stephane Dionkey scale of retard moments, she scores a 9.5, not bad considering Jack & Gilles are seasoned professionals. Besides being great for s***s ang gigles, Saturday Night Live needed some new material.

My email to Olivia Chow:

Ms Chow,

I appaud the government’s decision to follow the law and keep a convicted criminal out of the country. We have too many here already. As a person interested in Human Rights perhaps you will assist in my right to security of the person by keeping violent criminals out of Canada.

Perhaps if you advocated for the safety of Canadians instead of the lunatic fringe element you would meet with more success.

Presumably it is germane that Ayers has been admitted previously a dozen times.

interesting

who would have been the gate keeper those times

truedough or maybe the "little guy"

I also recall that Ward Churchill spoke at the U of T teachers college graduation a few years ago. I am sure that many of the readers here know who he is. It scares the hell out of me to think that the people who will be teaching my children were trained in an institution that would have anything to do with such people. You want a hidden agenda, or conspiracy theory, think about what the world will be like when these hard corp communist whack jobs have finished educating the next generation.

"actually me thinks the point is HYPOCRIT"

Of course! The reason I didn't say it is because I assume everyone here is bright enough to figure it out on their own.

I assume everyone here is bright enough to figure it out on their own.

that's giving the lefty trolls a lot of credit:-))))

"How does the "educational theorist" propose to achieve equality in outcome, other than dragging everyone down to the outcome that is achievable by the lowest ability?

The same way they would achieve equality in 'outcome' with health care and income distribution: make it such that everyone is equally miserable.

does this mean we can look forward to the ndp inflicting other international notables on canadians like robert mugabe or hugo chavez?

saints preserve us!

olivia chow and jack (small c communist) layton should both retire to the comforts of some government subsidised housing project (like the st.lawrence co-op in downtown toronto).

On a somewhat related note, stop me if you've heard this one.

What is black and white and red all over?

Obamao!

say, did i ever tell you about the time jack (small c communist)layton was a resident of the government subsidised st.lawrence housing co-op while he was a councillor for the city of toronto?

Just goes to show you CAN blow shyte up... as long as it's for a cause with which the Left agrees.

janet: "What the hell 'at risk' child is attending university anyway?"

Well, all university students are "at risk" because universities are hotbeds of leftie claptrap. But aside from that, it was OISE, the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, that invited Bill Ayers to come and speak at their conference.

OISE is the U. of T.'s faculty of ed., where teachers are taught. Now we know, without a shadow of a doubt, just "what" they're being taught: subversive, lib-left, crapola. What contribution could Bill Ayers possibly make to the education of Ontario children?

Olivia Chow is totally out to lunch -- vigorously sucking at the public teat. Who says there's no free lunch? The Natural Dumbie Party's Jacko and Ollie know where to find it.

...

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?

More info here

http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2009/01/20/stephen-taylor-canada-says-no-to-bill-ayers-why-the-shock.aspx

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.
Posted by: LindaL at January 21, 2009 11:55 PM

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".
