JR wins!

Canadian border guards are under orders to prevent members of a fundamentalist American church from crossing into Canada to protest at the funeral Saturday of a Winnipeg man brutally killed on a Greyhound bus last week.

 

Damn, really? Huggy Jr. uses one in his eight-year-old Atom league. No wonder he's struggling at the plate.

 

That's not good parenting, Huggy. [/bluefont]

But Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of the church's founder, Fred Phelps, said a small group of protesters was stopped at the Canada-U.S. border Thursday afternoon.

"They won't let us in, but we have a group that will cross in another spot," she said. "They'll have to strip-search everyone who crosses that border or they won't know who we are. They'll have to see the WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) tattoo on our butts."

Winnipeg NDP MP Pat Martin said his office was flooded with phone calls Thursday from angry Winnipeggers.

"These people (from Westboro) are almost as crazy as the murderer," he said. "If they are here to disrupt the social order, that constitutes grounds to deny them entry. There is no redeeming virtue in the message they are bringing."

According to Martin, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day's office sent an alert to border patrol to "look out" for people with signs and pamphlets that fit the hateful messages the church promotes, and to keep them out of the country.

"In the opinion of his office, coming up here with the message they're articulating constitutes hate speech," said Martin.

 

<sigh> He'll never make The Show now.

 

Oh well, at least he can blame it on you.

 

They're full of shit.
I bet they didn't even try to get into the country.

 

So Canada can keep them out but we can't? What the piss?

 

They are liars.
They never tried to get into the country. They would have had to lie about why they were going in, and being the fine humans they are, they'd never have done, that, no?

 

Canada keeps a lot of riffraff out. We ring the dinner bell for them.

 

This Canuckistani doesn't know about that, my man. Plenty of riffraff gets here unchallenged. The immigration process up here is a joke.

 

It's true ...
